The 'Lady' throws a tantrum
EU Foreign Policy chief Catherine Ashton had about the expected reaction to the news that Israel is going to build 1,600 new homes in its capital city.European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton on Friday said she "regrets" hearing of Eli Yishai's decision about the Ramat Shlomo construction, saying that such moves threaten the two-state solution.Six years ago this week, we expelled 10,000 Jews from their homes in Gaza. Six years later, most of these refugees still have no homes and no jobs. If the 'two-state solution' means that 500,000 Jews (the number that currently live in 'east' Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria) will be expelled from their homes, let's forget about it and fight it out to the finish.

Heh
with the european problems, debt and €€ we have a very good chance to persevere.Especially since the terroristic Abbas has stated no jews to beallowed tolive i the territores.
