Elder of Ziyon
Israel’s Cabinet voted on Sunday to establish a new community along the border with the Gaza Strip.The future town, to be named Hanun, will be located in the Sdot Negev Region and eventually be inhabited by some 500 families.“The establishment of the community is further evidence of the resilience of the [citizens living in the] ‘Gaza envelope’ and the power of the State of Israel. We’re proud to build up the Land of Israel and we’re proud to strengthen settlement in all parts of our land,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Hamas calls Israel building a community within the Green Line a "dangerous escalation" - and threatened it:
The Hamas movement confirmed that the continuation of the Zionist occupation government with its aggressive settlement policies in our land, the latest of which was its announcement today, Sunday, of building a settlement near the Gaza Strip, constitutes a dangerous escalation that will not bring the settlers security or stability, and will not grant the occupation legitimacy or sovereignty over our land.In a press statement, today, Sunday, Hamas stressed that the occupation government is solely responsible for its disregard for settling settlers near the Gaza Strip, and for putting them in danger, and it bears full responsibility for its settlement escalation throughout the occupied West Bank.The movement called on the international community to shoulder its responsibility in curbing those racist occupation policies that threaten peace and security in the region.
The English announcement stressed "colonialism" while the Arabic one (above) directly threatened the community.
Just more proof that it isn't the "occupation" that Palestinians are upset at - it is Israel's existence.
And this is a story that Western media still barely reports.
