US Gives Israel More Bad Election Advice: Let East Jlem Arabs Vote in Palestinian Elections
Not at all discouraged at having forced Israel to let Hamas run in the Palestinian elections and then realizing it was a huge mistake, the United States is now pushing Israel to turn their capital into a voting booth for people who want to destroy Israel:
US President George Bush President George W. Bush wants Palestinian elections to go forward as scheduled this month with no delay and thinks Palestinians should be allowed to vote in east Jerusalem, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said on Tuesday... The controversy over Jerusalem erupted the moment the campaign started Tuesday morning, when Israeli police scuffled with a series of Palestinian candidates trying to canvass for votes in the busy plaza outside the Damascus Gate leading into Jerusalem's walled Old City... "Any Palestinian activity in Jerusalem is forbidden," police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.
Turns out, when you look it up, he's right - the Oslo Accords does make Palestinian political activity in Jerusalem illegal. So why is the United States actually pushing Israel to accept patent violations of international agreements? Because international law works differently in the Israeli context - everyone knows that Arab agreements with Israel are going to be violated, but everyone is expected to act as if they don't know that.
