Here are some excerpts from the Jerusalem Post article on the latest report:
settlement growth in areas of the West Bank that Israel is likely to
retain under any final status agreement with the Palestinians, Peace
Now has charged that 39 percent of the growth in 2008 was outside those
areas.
…Dani
Dayan, who heads the Council of Jewish Communities of Judea, Samaria
and the Gaza Strip, said in response that he was glad the group was
documenting settlement growth.
"We are grateful to Peace Now for
investing the funds they receive from European [governments] in
documenting the most important Zionist endeavor of our generation, the
settlement of Judea and Samaria."
And
yet, one would be hard-pressed to find an Israeli, American, British,
French, Russian, Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, Fatah, UN, EU, or Quartet
figure who doesn't stress the need to "reaffirm the importance of" or
"acknowledge the necessity of" or "praise the progress of" the
two-state solution or the peace process.
Even Netanyahu is a two-stater. In fact, he could be considered the
most honest and barefaced of the whole heap, for at least he explicates
what is meant by a two-state solution.
