First off, you're too sweet. So much for not getting personal. Second, the issue was whether East Talpiot is considered a settlement or not. I posted the BBC article to show that the international community does consider it a settlement. Similarly the international community does not recognize the Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem (and the no man's land). I should also say that I really admired your initial disclosure of owning the apartment in East Talpiot. I just don't understand why you want to pretend now that it doesn't matter? Nobody is saying you're off poisoning Palestinians' fields with the settlers down in the south Hebron hills, but East Talpiot is a settlement nonetheless. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Ron has said where his apartment is, it's in East Talpiot. Here's what the BBC had to say about his neighborhood in April, 2009 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8020825.stm): Construction has begun on approximately 60 new homes in a Jewish settlement in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem, the Israeli campaign group Peace Now says. The work, in East Talpiot settlement, is aimed at creating a belt around East Jerusalem that would sever it from the rest of the West Bank, the group says. Sounds like a great place Ron! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
