Starting off on the wrong foot

Israel is seeking bids to build 300 homes in East Jerusalem, which land is not recognized as Israeli land by the international community. Palestinians consider the land as part of what they hope will one day be a Palestine state. Israel says they can build anywhere on the land they captured in 1967. And, that's what they've been doing for the past 40 years or so.

Coming so soon after the Annapolis meeting, this just serves to make one wonder how serious the Israelis are about the latest attempt to bring peace there.

How serious have they ever been? After every, so-called, 'peace process' the Israelis have begun something similar to this. They are not serious. They go through the motions to placate the few US politicians genuinely interested in a peace progress.
