All Israel settlements violate international law, said Ban Ki-moon. All of them. And for that he got stones and shoes thrown at his car. If he had said that some settlements were acceptable, I suppose his car would have been blown up.
Gratitude to the Infidels Alert: "All talk, no action as Israel's settlements remain a sore point," by Ruth Pollard in the Sydney Morning Herald, February 3:
...Ban was clear regarding the UN's position on settlements.''All Israeli settlements are contrary to international law … and prejudice final status issues,'' he said.
Israel ''should refrain from further settlement for the sake of ongoing peace talks''.
"UN Chief Receives Shoeing in Gaza," by Gavriel Queenann for Israel National News, February 2:
An angry crowd hurled shoes and stones at United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's convoy as it entered Hamas-run Gaza on Thursday.The crowd also struck the vehicles with signs bearing slogans accusing Ban of bias towards Israel, among others. No one was injured in the incident and the convoy simply pushed through the crowd and sped away. Ban is visiting the region to try to jumpstart the long-stalled peace process between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
His visit comes on the heels of a similar failed visit by European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton who said she feared the "window for talks" was "closing." Both demanded Israel make "goodwill gestures" to the PA and Hamas while making no similar demands on officials in Ramallah and Gaza City.
Israeli officials say they are willing to restart talks without preconditions from either side immediately. However, the growing sentiment among many Israelis is that there is no good faith partner for peace on the PA side and that any agreement signed will be worthless.
PA officials continue to demand Israel agree to the pre-1967 lines, release all Arab terrorists held in Israeli prisons, and freeze construction in the 'disputed territories' for a second time before talks begin. Many Israelis see such terms as little more than total surrender before talks - and even more concessions - are undertaken in the name of peace.
On Thursday, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon responded to international pressure to restart talks and make "goodwill gestures" by saying that Israel would not make peace at the cost of its own existence....
You would think that after all these years the likes of UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon would realize that their appeasing actions are futile and will remain so.
The Palestinian's will remain with one solid objective, and that is to destroy Israel. The Koranic induced hate is the same as that of a rabid dog and will not change for all time no matter what Ban Ki-moon does.
You quote, "All Israel settlements violate international law."
Well, they do.
Are you just shocked he would have the nerve to say so, or what?
Or is it the futility of his remark that grabs you?
Feel the love. Meanwhile American Muslims cry 'victimhood' because their Islamic supremacist symbols at the mosque are not being appreciated by non-dhimmied Americans: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16825976
Well, at least we don't throw shoes and rocks at them. Maybe they should move the offensive 9/11 Ground Zero mosque to the United Nations East River compound? Ki-Moon would approve, I'm sure.
"However, the growing sentiment among many Israelis is that there is no good faith partner for peace on the PA side and that any agreement signed will be worthless."
Well, duh.
Mohammed broke his agreement with the Meccans and that has set the pattern for any agreement or treaty between Muslims and unbelievers. Muslims are under no obligation to keep any treaty with the kuffars.
Only in revisionist history is that so.
"However, the growing sentiment among many Israelis is that there is no good faith partner for peace on the PA side and that any agreement signed will be worthless."
I've known this since 1967.
At least these Paleonazis did something 'good' for once, by pelting Ban ki Moonbat's car with shoes.
What a pity it was his car and not him who got pelted.
For the benefit of 'Gaius' and people like him.

Fitzgerald: Islam, The Treaty of Hudaibiyya, And The Two-Stage Solution
And again:

"the same tired Zionist propaganda...." -- from a posting above
Excerpt, to be printed out and put on the fridge and learned by heart.
"...the Lesser Jihad against Israel was disguised, for obvious reasons, as merely a matter of the "legitimate rights of the Palestiian people."
" Neither Israel itself, nor many in the outside world, seem willing to comprehend that there is no solution, one-state or two-state or n-state, to the Jihad.
"There is only the matter of remaining overwhelmingly -- and perceptively -- more powerful, capable of wreaking great damage on those who would attack. No treaty with Infidel states, and Israel is such a state, can conceivably be permanently honored by a Muslim signatory. Pacta sunt servanda is a Western idea. In the Muslim world, treaties are not to be obeyed, but if made with Infidels, to be violated as soon as the Muslim side feels itself strong enough to press its advantage. The model for all time -- see Majid Khadduri -- is Muhammad's Treaty with the Meccans in 628 A.D….
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2008/06/fitzgerald-waiting-for-hudaibiyya.html
"...When we read, for example, that Muslims in the southern Philippines, having reached and signed an agreement a year ago with the government, are now attacking non-Muslim Filipino farmers and forcing off their land, in direct violation of that agreement, we should not be surprised. But we deserve, we readers, to be told why what these Muslims are doing is not surprising, but fits into a repeated pattern of Muslim violations of agreements with Infidel nation-states. Of course the Muslims in the southern Philippines have no intention of honoring their agreement. Of course the "Palestinians" of Fatah's Slow Jihad have no intention of honoring whatever agreement the Israelis might be foolish enough to make. Of course the government of the Muslim Arabs in Khartoum have no intention of honoring the peace agreement they made with the non-Muslims of the southern Sudan, or the commitments they have made with outside Infidels about not further harming the inferior, because non-Arab, Muslims in Darfur. And so on..".
As Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem, so Kashmir, so Mindanao, so southern Thailand, so Chechnya...and when the Muslims in this or that area that they have infiltrated and in which they have gained demographic ascendance and political power gain what they claim they want, 'autonomy', or 'a separate state', then almost at once the razzias, the ghazwa raids begin again, into the land still controlled by non-Muslims, emanating from the territory that has been seized and from which the 'infidels' have been driven out...and on, and on, and on. If Russia allows Chechnya to leave the Federation, the jihad ghazwa raids from Chechnya into the lands still within the Federation will continue...and, quite probably, with redoubled force.
The partition of India into 'Pakistan' (now Pakistan and Bangladesh) and India has not one whit assuaged the aggression and hostility of south Asian Muslims - 'Pakistani', Bengali, and those remaining within India, who have multiplied exceedingly, whereas the Hindu and other minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh have been killed, or driven out, or force-converted by methods such as the abduction and brutalisation of girls, and their percentage of the population of those countries has dropped through the floor - who will never be satisfied until all of India is once more under the scimitar of Islam. There are Muslims in Pakistan who have openly stated their dream of a state of affairs under which, just as in the glory days of the Muslim conquests, every Muslim will own Hindu slaves.
An Islamic sharia state of 'Palestine', squatting upon the ancient spiritual heartland of Judaism, will not at all satisfy the Muslims, whose geopolitcal theopolitical cult drives them to want more, and more, and then more: for their goal is not just 'a Muslim state' here or a 'Muslim state' there, but..the entire PLANET enslaved to Sharia.
The Jews have only ever wanted the tiny compass of eretz Israel. The Maronite Christians would have been perfectly content with Lebanon, the Assyrian Christians with a portion of northern Mesopotamia to call their own. But the Muslims - of whatever ethnicity, and resident wherever - want...Islam, Islam, Ueber Alles, from the north pole to the south and all the lands in between. Each territory they can seize and Islamoform is a mere stepping stone toward the ultimate goal: seven billion human beings enslaved by totalitarian misogynistic antihuman inhuman sharia.
Ban - ki - Moon:
"All Israeli settlements are contrary to international law."
____
Notice he says, "contrary to", not, "in violation of" international law.
