Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Friday approved the construction of 42 housing units in the West Bank settlement in which a 13-year-old girl was killed in her bedroom.

The tender was published a year and a half ago but was frozen after no contractors applied. The bidding process is now re-opened.

Sources in the Prime Minister’s Office said that after a number of meetings in recent weeks on the topic it was decided Israel would set up a graveyard for Palestinian terrorists, and thus avoid returning their bodies to their families.

Israel has been reluctant to return the bodies of alleged assailants, citing fears their funeral processions would turn violent and glorify acts of terror.

2. cold blooded murder vs constructing an apartment building

some see these as morally equivalent. not me.

here is the difference. the first one of them is murder.

EU and UN "Israeli construction of apartments and Palestinian cold-blooded murder of Jews are both impediments to peace."

3. Netanyahu sees some equivalence

In the article the claim is that constructing an apartment building is strengthening Israels defences after the murder. That's a definite WTF??? Moment.
