Any ceasefire which happened in 1948 has been relegated to the dustbin of history.<br /><br />Secondly, Derfner is probably still sleeping soundly at night. First of all, the EU's decision identified three ZIP codes in Modiin, covering Maccabim and parts (maybe all) of Buchman. AFAIK, Derfner lives far from the zone.<br /><br />Most importantly, this classification by the EU has nothing to do with the occupation; it's entirely about the preferential tariff status given to good produced in Israel. For some reason, they offer this status to goods manufactured in areas which were under Israeli administration prior to June 1967. Which means that the West Bank is out. It also means that the tiny area of what was then no-man's land is out as well. Not that it's illegally occupied, just that the land had to be under Israeli administration at a certain time. The no-man's land was not; this does not mean that they're saying that it's illegally occupied.yoni r.noreply@blogger.com
