Ok, I know this isn’t direct black news but Palestinian and Israeli news is African news as far as I am concerned. The African neigbors don’t get on too well and honestly, my humble opinion, is that Israel is a disgusting bully, a horrendous bigoted government who have on many occasions treated Palestinians in a less than humane way!

Don’t get me wrong, there are issues on both sides, the whole mess does affect the USA and in turn African Americans because the country’s policies affect the world on a larger scale, they affect the image of Americans the world over.

And remember, there was no money for Flint, yet the government (even under Obama) promised Israel $50billion, don’t be surprised if that increased under this new admin!

President Trump is unlikely to have a bad word to say about this latest move by Israel, he has supposedly been informed.

The Washington Post reported:

Israel’s parliament passed a contentious law late Monday that allows the state to seize land privately owned by Palestinians in the West Bank and grant the properties to Jewish settlements for their exclusive use.

The measure is designed to protect homes in Jewish settlements, built on private Palestinian property “in good faith or at the state’s instruction,” from possible court-ordered evacuation and demolition.

Thousands of homes in dozens of settlements and outposts may now be protected, at least temporarily. The bill is probably headed for a high court challenge.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports the legislation and has told his constituents that no government had done more for the settlers. On Monday, the Israeli leader said he had informed the Trump White House that a vote on the legislation was imminent.

Israeli legislators in the opposition condemned the bill as reckless and warned that it would turn the world against Israel while goading prosecutors at the International Criminal Court in The Hague to take action against the Jewish state.

The bill passed on a vote of 60 to 52.

I’m very saddened by this bill… People are losing their ancestral land to thieves, quite literally and it’s being sanctioned by an American backed government!
