'Palestinians' opposed to 'settlement freeze'

Many 'Palestinians' are opposed to a Jewish 'settlement freeze' in Judea and Samaria as demanded by the Obama administration. Their opposition can be summed up in two words: economic necessity.

"I don't care what the leaders say and do," al-Najjar told The Jerusalem Post at one of the new construction sites in Ma'aleh Adumim. "I need to feed my seven children, and that's all I care about for now."

The phenomenon of Palestinians building new homes for Jewish settlers is not new. In fact, Palestinian laborers have been working in the construction business from the first day the settlements began in the West Bank.
