Cognitive 'settlement' Dissonance


This is a map of the Arab World. That tiny blue sliver near Jordan is Eretz Yisrael.

Palestinians make up 70 percent of Jordan's population; and they revoked the citizenship of thousands of Palestinians to keep them from remaining permanently in the country.

Where do they think they will live? Why would Jordan want to get rid of SEVENTY PERCENT of their population? From the Nabatean era thru the Caliphates stages to the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, Jordan emerged as the palestinian state via the British Mandate of 1946.


"Israel is the only UN member not permitted to stand for election to the full range of UN bodies."

However, in a rare moment, UN Secretary-General
Kofi Annan admitted at the opening of the 61st General Assembly on September 20, 2006, that Israel is often unfairly judged at the United Nations. “On one side, supporters of Israel feel that it is harshly judged by standards that are not applied to its enemies,” he said. “And too often this is true, particularly in some UN bodies.”

Will the UN be able to admit to another “Rare Moment of Truth”?


Yesha Towns Promoted for UN Prize for ‘Human Settlement’

The
U.N. Habitat link, where BALLOTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR NOMINATIONS, explains that the Habitat Scroll of Honor award is given to most prestigious human settlements in acknowledgement of “outstanding contributions in developing and improving human settlements and quality of urban life.” The deadline for submissions is August 15.

The U.N. explains that entries will be judged on the basis of achievements in urban management, social development, land and housing, infrastructure and disaster management.

Let’s see if the UN can admit that these Yesha towns are, “outstanding contributions in developing and improving human settlements and quality of urban life.”



Here we have:
Achievement
Urban Management
Social Development
Infrastructure
Disaster Management


In a bizare turnabout, the NYT turns the creative ingenuity and skilled planning of Modiin Illit and Beitar Illit into an “anti” article (compromise? more like 'divide and conquer strategy' again!)

Unsettled - A Chance for Compromise, billed as: First in a series exploring Israeli settlements in the West Bank and their prospects under any peace agreement [with their natural growth of 45,000 residents and 60 births a week].

LET ME REPEAT THIS:
45,000 citizens
60 weekly births
