Fco.gov.uk:  Britain's Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, Alistair Burt, comments on the Israeli Interior Ministry's announcement that over 900 housing units will be constructed in East Jerusalem.  Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, Alistair Burt, said on Friday:  "I condemn yesterday's announcement by the government of Israel to approve the construction of over 900 housing units which will expand significantly the 'illegal settlement' of Har Homa in East Jerusalem.  Unilateral actions such as this undermine international efforts to build lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians and make the two-state solution harder to achieve.  At a time when Israel's friends are working to restart negotiations, this decision is deeply concerning."  

Commentary:  I just sent an email to Mr. Burt, asking him what he doesn't understand about the fact that the Palestinians constantly chant "death to Israel" and the fact that they constantly launch missiles into Israel; or what it is that he doesn't understand about the fact that their leaders constantly threaten to run the Jews into the ocean.  I couldn't help myself; at the end of my email I wrote, "Hello, is anyone home?"  I think Satan has simply turned the lights out in the minds of many of these Godless leaders; they are just as blind as bats and can't see anything in front of their face.  "The disciples went to Jesus and told Him that the Pharisees were offended by what He said.  He answered and said, 'Every plant that my Father in heaven has not planted will be rooted up.  Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind.  If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch'" Matthew 15:12-14.  Speaking of the blind falling into a ditch, did you know that the same day that Burt gave this speech, riots broke out in Britain and they have continued now for six days, nonstop?  Hummm, I suppose God didn't like what Mr. Burt had to say either!
