Jordan Joins Long List of Countries Condemning Israeli Settlement Plans

Well, I'm not going to get into all of the plans Israel has for building additional settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, but want to focus on the growing list of countries that are condemning the plans. Jordan joined that list of countries today with this statement:

"rejects Israel's unilateral measures, particularly expanding settlements,"

Now, what I want to point out that within hours and days of Israel's announcement of new settlement plans, Jordan has joined the likes of the United States and pretty much all of Europe in condemning these plans as a threat to peace.

Anyone else out there notice how quickly the countries line up to criticize the Israelis on this issue when it took days and days for most of the World, including the U.N. to condemn the mass murder of Israeli children in the seminary massacre in Jerusalem? How two-faced can these political leaders be?

Jordan, sits on it hands while terrorists spill the blood of innocent teen agers yet spring to the microphone to cry out against expanding homes! Ridiculous.

Here's the full story from Yahoo.

Jordan condemns Israeli settlement plans

AMMAN (AFP) - Jordan on Monday condemned Israeli plans to build hundreds of new homes in occupied east Jerusalem and the West Bank, saying they "obstruct" regional peace efforts.

Israeli authorities said on Monday they planned to build a new Jewish settlement of around 400 homes in the annexed eastern part of Jerusalem, which Palestinians want as the capital of their promised state.
At the weekend Israel also announced plans to build hundreds of new housing units in a settlement in the West Bank.
Palestinian officials have denounced the decision, saying it would shatter efforts to relaunch the peace process that has been stagnant since it was revived in late November.
