Palestinians Build Illegal Settlement in Israel

If Israel decides to build a 30 unit apartment in Ma’ale Adumim the entire world freaks out.  If the Palestinians build 88 buildings over 18 years, no one seems to notice.

David’s Garden is a historic site in Jerusalem.  For hundreds of years the Ottoman and British Empires took care of the site, and Israel took over from there.
