Israel Ok's Expansion Of Building In Hebron

[Purveyor]

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel is allowing Jewish settlers to expand a building in Hebron, one of the West Bank's most volatile cities.

Palestinians object to Jewish construction in areas they envision for their future state.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak's office said Friday he gave the building permit to house a kindergarten in Beit Romano, a structure built in the late 1800s by a Jewish merchant. Today it houses a religious seminary.

Hagit Ofran of settlement watchdog Peace Now says Barak has become a "tool of the most radical settlers."

1. Not all messages are sent by e-mail, post, telegram, morse code, or smoke.

They are sent in dust - kicked up by imported bulldozers.

How long has non-peace, perpetual war Israeli's been sending the message to Palestinians, the message that says LEAVE.

"Leave, can't YOU see WE want you OUT of here?"

Backed up by the U.S. us.
