In an about-face from a day earlier, Israel's housing minister on Thursday said he never intended to pursue a massive construction plan for East Jerusalem, a plan that sparked Palestinian outrage and a 'chilly reception' from Prime Minister Olmert.
Palestinians want Jerusalem's eastern sector, which Israel captured from Jordan in 1967 and later annexed, for the capital of a future state. They view any plans for new Israeli construction there as undermining newly revived peace talks.
When the Messiah comes, the WHOLE WORLD shall be ONE religion. Maranatha! End the madness!
