Reply #186: It most certainly did address that. You just don't seem to want to understand...

Your post doesn't address the fact that about 13000 E.J. Arabs are Israeli citizens...

...for whom the building freeze does not apply.

Arab Israeli citizens are free to build.

Jews not so much.

Seeing as how you yet again ignored what was right in front of you, here it is yet again. Read it, and if you don't understand it, explain what it is about it you don't understand.

'I keep on explaining that the Resolution isn't about private ownership of land, but about Israel controlling the ownership of that land with building permits and other forms of control. I don't understand why you keep on repeating the same thing again and again in response. Is it because you don't understand the control Israel has over any building and demolition processes?'

and I even bolded the last two paragraphs, yet you still appear not to have read them.

The Resolution isn't about private ownership of property. The Resolution is about Israel asserting its sovereignty and its own population onto occupied territory. Here's a link you provided to the text of the Resolution. I assumed at the time you'd paused and read the Resolution, but it appears you haven't, as anyone who'd read it wouldn't be trying to claim it's about refusing private ownership only to Jews. The Resolution specifically states that it's calling for the state of Israel to cease serttlement activity in occupied territory, including East Jerusalem and to abide by international law. The Resolution has absolutely nothing to do with the religion or ethnicity of individuals, and I consider the wording of the Resolution to be so clear and understandable that attempts to claim it was about anything else are verging on disingeuous.

Israel, as the occupying power, has the same responsibility in East Jerusalem as any other occupying power would have. It's illegal for the occupying power to destroy or take over homes of civilians in order to change the demographics of the area it's occupying. Do you understand that it's about the occupying power, not about some stinking rich extremist millionaire who pours his millions into the settlements? Israel is the power that controls building permits and it's responsible for ensuring that civilians aren't put out of their homes, or that the nature of the occupied territory isn't changed. Moskowitz can go and build in Israel. He can't do it in the occupied territories, or just turn up anywhere apart from the US or Israel and start building wherever or however he wants. If you think he should have the right to do that, please explain why you think he should get special treatment that no-one else would get.

I really do suggest that repeating the same thing you've already said and been corrected on, that if you don't understand what I've told you, let me know what exactly it is that you don't understand so I can try to explain it to you in a way you'll end up understanding...
