Terwijl Olmert de wereld wil laten geloven dat hij bezig is met de ’terugtrekking’ van Israel uit de Westoever, en dat ook nog wil verkopen als een bijdrage aan de stichting van de Palestijnse staat, gaat hij gewoon door met het verder bezetten en verder annexeren. De nederzettingen worden nog steeds uitgebreid, wat ook mag blijken uit onderstaande advertentie, waarin zakenlieden worden opgeroepen hun business met erg gunstige voorwaarden en subsidies over te plaatsen naar Palestijns gebied. Naar ‘Judea en Samaria’ om precies te zijn, de bezettersnaam voor de Westoever.

De advertentie werd opgestuurd door Ran HaCohen, een Nederlandse Israeli, van wie op dit weblog al eerder een artikel verscheen.
