JERICHO, West Bank —

In this sunbaked biblical oasis, Palestinians are bracing for what they fear will be Israel’s boldest territorial claim ever outside of war.

“We will stay here whatever they do — we are not leaving our land,” said Ahmad Yagi, a teacher in his 50s in Aqabat Jaber, a nearby Palestinian refugee camp.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that as soon as Wednesday, Israel may move to annex up to 30% of the West Bank, home to sites sacred to the major monotheistic religions and the heartland of what many Palestinians and much of the rest of the world have long hoped will someday be a Palestinian state.

In the more than half a century since seizing the territory in the 1967 Middle East War, Israel has maintained a military occupation and built an archipelago of Jewish settlements, some hilltop hamlets, others the size of cities.

Palestine is a phony place.  They are muslims and HAMAS...who do all the k!lling and rocket sending over to Israel.

Like I've said many times, Israel's borders should be as they were on June 11, 1967.

The only controls I want on my guns are the ones that I operate myself such as trigger, bolt or slide, safety selector, magazine release an' optics. All others are unnecessary an' unwanted.

They had their chance.  They never even displayed the good faith of acknowledging the other side's right to exist.

When there are and have been no partners for peace,  not once over the course of this old man's lifetime,  it is time to move on.

No such thing as palestine.  They are muslims.  JIHADISTS......it is a mix of M.E. people.  IT IS HAMAS.  TERRORIST GROUP.  When Obama (muslim) got in as president,  by voter fraud, Palestine=HAMAS sent over 2,000 rockets into Israel.   << Cyber note:  Nope. >>

When ever a peace agreement was signed...within 3 days...palestine would send over rockets and start war again.  They are HAMAS.  MUSLIMS...who do not want peace or coexisting,  only DOMINATION.  THEY TELL YOU THAT!
