These Extremists reject any 'peace' which would require them to accept their legal and moral obligations, and will continue their war to wipe Palestine off the map (which will perpetuate the threat and misery experienced by all Israelis) until they succeed, or until someone stands up to stop them.

Israel plans more settler homes

The Israeli government has announced plans to build nearly 900 new housing units in a part of East Jerusalem that is considered occupied territory.
(This brings the number approved just this week to 1550.)
The contentious move comes amid the ongoing political battle swirling around Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who is accused of corruption.
Mr Olmert's cabinet met for the first time since Defence Minister Ehud Barak said it was time for him to step down.
An Israeli official said Mr Olmert was getting on with government business.
The prime minister, he said, was keeping his cards close to his chest and did not discuss his future with his colleagues during the meeting.
Mr Olmert remained convinced he was innocent of the accusations that relate to his time as mayor of Jerusalem, the official said.
Districts redrawn
On Monday, the prime minister will have one of his regular meetings with the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in an attempt to push forward peace talks.
Those talks will take place in the wake of the new housing announcement.
The Palestinian Authority has condemned the news of more settlement building on occupied territory.
The Israeli government insists that any final peace deal will see these districts redrawn inside the Israeli border.
(That's why they keep on building them and building them and building them, and stalling any legitimate peace process, in which they would have to adhere to the Rule of Law, and abandon their Expansionism.)
In addition to Mr Barak's call for him to step aside, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said that the Kadima Party, to which both she and Mr Olmert belong, should hold new leadership elections.
