See How They Lie

As I reported previously, Yesh Din and Peace Now are complaining about a "new settlement".

The truth is different but we can see the warped slimy behavior of Michael Sfard in this matter, behavior that incites and stirs up hatred for Israel.

The Defense Ministry is poised to authorize one of the largest West Bank construction projects in recent years, 1,400 apartments in the Adam settlement located just north of Jerusalem, according to Peace Now...Defense Minister Ehud Barak's spokesman dismissed Peace Now's claim as "nonsense." Dani Dayan, who heads the Council of Jewish Communities of Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip, said no such building permits were pending.

A Defense Ministry document obtained by The Jerusalem Post and dated December 10, 2008, notes that an unauthorized plan exists to build such a project in an undeveloped part of Adam, known as Adam East...According to the December 10 document, a discussion took place at the Defense Ministry on the relocation of Migron's residents based on an agreement with the settlers' council.

It noted the bare details of the move and then immediately added that an unauthorized plan for 1,400 apartment units existed in that same area of Adam East.

Peace Now's attorney Michael Sfard said he understood the document to mean the ministry intended to approve this project as part of the relocation of Migron...Sfard said that even though the project fell within the municipal boundaries of Adam, by placing homes in this undeveloped area, "the Defense Ministry is advancing the construction of a whole new large settlement."

Barak's spokesman was quick to point out that the document states that the plan was unauthorized and that it was a stretch to think that this document was a statement of intent. The only plan that has been authorized for Adam is the one to build 50 new homes for the Migron families.
