"If we permit 'too many' new homes to be built in Palestinian neighbourhoods, that will mean 'too many' Palestinian residents in the city. The idea is to move as many Jewish residents as possible to Occupied East Jerusalem and to move as many Palestinians as possible out of the city altogether. Housing policy in Occupied East Jerusalem has focused on this numbers game."
By so doing, it flouts international law, denies Palestinians their legal rights, imposes repression and violence under occupation, making Israel a rogue state, under lawless governments, defiling democratic principles of human rights, civil liberties, judicial fairness, and fundamental freedoms, ones afforded solely to Jews - how Israel has always been run.
