BBC News - Israeli presence on Palestinian land 'irreversible'
BBC News reports: "A UN human rights rapporteur has said continued settlement construction will probably make Israel's occupation of Palestinian land irreversible [...] Israel's refusal to extend a partial 10-month freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank has derailed peace negotiations sponsored by the United States. Washington wants them resumed."

Comment: Leave it to the UN and the BBC to parrot the party line - "Palestinian land" reported as an established fact and not a claim. Ever wonder what the reporting would would sound like if they had a pro-Israeli bias? They would use phrases like "so-called occupation" and "controversial Palestinian claims to the land." Yeah, I'd like to see that.
