On Change

According to a LATimes blog post:

A paper special U.S. peace envoys David Hale and Dennis Ross presented to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday that was supposed to sway him away from going to the United Nations was what caused Abbas to take a final stand in favor of going, according to Nabil Shaath, a member of Abbas’ Fatah Central Committee.


...The U.S. paper, he said, referred to the controversial settlements Israel had been building on Palestinian land occupied since 1967 as “demographic changes.” This, he said, would actually legalize the settlements, which the entire world, including the U.S., had so far considered as illegal...

I left his comment there:

Let's be factually clear here on "changes":- the illegal changes were done during the period of 1920-1948 when Arab nationalist forces set about to ethnically cleanse the patrimony of the Jewish people, internationally recognized by law as where the Jewish national home was to be be reconstituted, from its Jews. And so, Arabs attacked, pillaged,, destroyed, burned and laso murdered and raped Jewish homes and towns and the Jewish residents thereof in places that had been living for centuries and for less time such as Hebron, Shchem/Nablus, Gaza, Jenin, Atarot, Neveh Yaakov, Bet HaAravah and Jerusalem's Old City among them.


The "changes" Abbas and Shaath gag on are simply righting wrongs commited by Arabs quite illegally.
