edicts, by a supposedly Jewish regime, will not go down easily.In fact, whatever they do will be more than justified. It is unfathomable, intolerable that a mosque remains unmolested, while synagogues get sealed. It ain't gonna happen without a huge fight.The price tag will be painful.They would do well to stop their persecution of Jews in Israel. Period.

because were heading towards a war between the religious right and the secular

This is the natural reaction. At least they are not calling Jihad and blowing up cafes in Tel Aviv. This is a red line that not the craziest would commit. The rhetoric needs to stop and the government needs to back off.

Someone else always pays the price of jewish problems.

like when the rumor of a koran is being disrespected. who also riots over perceived religious sleights?

...they have no sense of fair play and proportionality, and will bring another tragedy upon themselves.

settlers and the haredi are our taliban. goons and thugs who cause us noting but grief.

...... and they know it. Let's hope the government can instill some law and order amongst this lawless bunch who are holding the entire country to ransom. Or perhaps Israel needs to build bigger prisons...

Be careful. Don't trust anyone. Don't do anything rash. And don't fight for the right to keep individual buildings. Fight to annex the entire land of Judea and Samaria. As long as you don't officially own the land, the government can do anything to you, including giving your land away to the Arabs and expelling you from your homes. Keep your eye on the ball. The ball is full annexation.

Delusional people. Move them to a sanatory, fix the borders, make peace now.

both side should define the borders of the 2 states then everyone is free to do what he wants . simple

Take your fingers away from that Synagogue and leave your Jewish people in peace for a change. Mosques seem to be being built wherever there is a few sq. meters of empty space and not a word from the Jewish authorities is said against it. You are becoming a stinking bunch against your own people in my sight. Leave your people alone. Their Synagogues are about all the Jewish have left now. Persecuted and slain all their days and now their own are doing it to them. Shame on you Israel!

What nonsense! Take your thieving hands off Palestinian land and move back behind your line. If no permission was given to build the synagogue, prob cos it was built on more stolen land, then it should be pulled down the same way as is incurred on the Palestinians,.(even though they are building on their own land)! Your post makes you sound like the worlds biggest drama queen having a hissy fit. There is basically no one left alive who had anything to do with the holocaust, so your dribbling falls on deaf ears. Get a life and let everyone else have theirs...what shame you bring upon your people with this girly grizzling!

Settlers are giving Israelis a choice, no land for peace or civil war and they now control the Gov., while US Jews could the balance, it could come with a high cost for both sides.

Nothing like the pot calling the kettle black. Scotty in Texas likes to pontificate to us here in the Holy Land? Based on what? Based on America's successful model of land theft, occupation and settlement? Scotty, are you moving back to Scotland and giving your illegal home in occupied native American lands back to its rightful owners? Or if not to the native Americans, then back to Mexico? And, of course, the Spanish occupation of Central and South America is also a successful model we look at from here. Or no, you're not going to stand on your principles and give your home back to the Navajo or whomever you stole if from? Gosh, why am I not surprised....?

those two clowns at it again. Incase his royal holliness MK Michael Ben Ari has forgotten he swore an oath to uphold the law when elected to the knesset, and not to just pick and choose the laws that suits him based on his so called religious beliefs. He constantly provokes minorites in Israel and fans the flames of hatred to anyone who dosent agree with his demented mentality. I only hope he will be arrested and inprisoned where im told he can get 3 kosher meals aday.

... how about if the settlers created their own state in Judea and Samaria with Avigdor Lieberman as their leader (along with anyone else who wants to join them) and let them fight it out with the Palestians, leaving the remaining Jewish nation the opportunity to find a resolution for a better future for the generations to come within '67 borders?...

Samaria inhabitants were forcefully converted to Islam centuries ago. The settlers are aliens in a land which they have never have had a rightful claim on.

How about Israel take some responsibility for once and clean up the mess it's made in Palestine by forcing all the settlers back into Israel?
