Israel has announced plans to expropriate 400 hectares of land in the occupied West Bank in a move Palestinian officials claim will cause more friction after the Gaza conflict.
The announcement concerning land south of Bethlehem, inside what Israelis call the Etzion bloc of settlements, comes after Israel determined the land was not cultivated with enough intensity for the Palestinians to maintain their ownership rights.

Signs have already been posted on the land by military administrators saying “state land – no trespassing”. Dror Etkes, head of the Kerem Navot NGO which specialises in West Bank land issues, said: “There is enough territory for a very big settlement with thousands of units.”

The notice published by the military gave no reason for the decision, but Israel Radio said the step was taken in response to the kidnapping and killing of three Jewish teenagers in the area in June.

I despise living in a country where our government supports them against the wishes of the American people.

innocent people who are simply trying to reclaim their stolen land

PLO=/=Hamas

you have it the wrong way around

Dipshit christian conservatives blow their load for Israel's cause.

And rich jews with double citizenship (which should not be a thing) spend millions lobbying for Israel, too.

I assure you, the ignorant masses LOVE Israel.

The blunt hypocrisy by the U.S

The administration is actually very critical of these land grabs.

^Case in point

>interpreting for hostility

So it's okay for a STATE to blow up civilians AND steal land just because terrorists are bad?

Kill yourself
