-Caveat Lector- Well, here it is, the 144,000 that Revelation speaks of, and this information isn't even from a "Christian" source... http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/96/11/09/timfgnmid03001.html?11822 82 Hebron settlers promised expansion FROM CHRISTOPHER WALKER IN JERUSALEM ISRAEL'S Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has promised Jewish settlers that he would expand settlements in the occupied West Bank to compensate for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Hebron, still the subject of negotiations with the Palestinians. According to Israel television, the pledge was made during a private meeting between the Prime Minister and leaders of the ***144,000*** settlers. "When the army vehicles pull out of Hebron, the mobile homes will pull into the settlements," the television reported. About 450 militant Jews live in the centre of Hebron among 120,000 hostile Palestinians. The potential for violence in the city holy to both Muslims and Jews has been growing. Yesterday Yitzhak Mordechai, the Defence Minister, reported to the Cabinet that the atmosphere there was "very tense". Political sources said that Mr Netanyahu's new offer was an attempt to defuse the chance of an explosion of Israeli-Arab violence. Talks on the Hebron pull-out are expected to resume in earnest when Dennis Ross, the American special envoy, returns to the region next week. Yediot Ahronot, the Tel Aviv daily, quoted Mr Netanyahu as telling the settlers: "I will personally see to it that all the delays in your expansion plans (are remedied) and I will make sure that the approved decisions are implemented on the ground." The Palestinians consider settlement construction one of the greatest threats to the already ailing peace process and the United States calls it an "obstacle to peace". Last night the left-wing Israeli pressure group, Peace Now, said: "The Israeli public should note that hundreds of millions of shekels from the Government's budget are about to be invested in new apartments, the expansion of settlements, in caravans and outrageous allocations to 3 per cent of the population." \\|// (o o) ------------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------------------------ Jamie Stopforth Williams Solution Center x6343 DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
