Marcel ,   Florida   (12.18.06)
Despite the betrayal of obedient Jews by even their duplicitious ,faithless Israeli government bent on appeasing the un appeasable world ,the Settlers win in the end. The FAITHFUL Settlers vs. the World are a majority becaue God is on their side. Islam and the world ,you lose and you lose in a big way.

Talula ,   Israel   (12.18.06)
It's only going to end in tears with settlers throwing abuse at Policemen who try and remove them. These people should be rounded up and thrown in prison, they can light their candles from there.

5. ILLEGAL ARAB Construction ENDANGERS ISRAEL
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.18.06)
THE SELF DESTRUCT DOUBLE STANDARD by Yoram Ettinger, January 20, 2006 Illegal Arab construction has become a norm, led by the Palestinian Authority (many PA officials reside in illegal homes), bankrolled by Saudi petrodollars and observed by the wide-closed eyes of Israel. Illegal construction has become an effective means to challenge Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem, to undermine major infrastructure and housing projects in the Negev and Galilee, to limit the freedom/security of Jewish movement along major transportation arteries, to facilitate terrorism and to exacerbate crime. Over 1,000 illegal houses are built annually – by Jerusalem Arabs – since 1997. Only 30-40 are demolished by the authorities. About 10,000 illegal houses are built, annually, by "Green Line" Arabs in the Galilee, Negev, "Triangle", Lod and Ramleh. About 100 are demolished. Since 1967, there has been more Arab residential (largely illegal) construction in Jerusalem than Jewish construction in the capital of the Jewish State. But, Israel is enforcing the law in an iron-fist manner when it comes to a few scores of Jewish houses throughout Judea & Samaria and Hebron (built on a Jewish-registered property, which was ravaged by Arabs in 1929). Legal and governance impotence have characterized Israel's battle against illegal Arab construction, which threatens Israel's sovereignty and the rule of law in Jerusalem and all over the country. Palestinian documents, found at the PLO's "Orient House", highlight illegal construction as a key instrument in the campaign to erode the Jewish character of Jerusalem. According to the documents, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has enticed illegal construction in Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods of Shoafat, Beit Haninah and A-Zaim, in order to prevent continuity between the Jewish neighborhoods of French Hill and Pisgat Ze'ev, and to avert the unification of Jerusalem and Ma'aleh Adoumim. Illegal construction is raging along Highway 443, the critical road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, with the aim to transform it into an Arab road, threatening the security of Jewish transportation. While a 1999 Palestinian document anticipated that Israel was determined "to demolish 400-500 illegal houses in Beit Haninah and Shoafat", a 2000 document notified the PA that "no need to worry", since Israel would only demolish a few houses, and illegal construction could proceed with full speed ahead. For instance, illegal construction in the Jerusalem Arab neighborhood of Silwan has been a platform for intensified terrorism and felony. Forging real estate titles has proliferated in the Arab sector, robbing state-owned land as well as privately owned Arab land, fueling extortion, protection, gang-wars and the importation of illegal Arab residents from Hebron and other towns to Jerusalem – a fertile ground for terrorism.

Maria T ,   Canada   (12.18.06)
If the government is not doing enough, is there anything that Jewish neighbours can do in terms of calling attention to each incidence of Arab illegal construction? Is anybody else keeping watch?
8. If only we stopped fighting ourselves.....
Mush DeLeon ,   Brooklyn, New York   (12.18.06)

9. Bless the Jews of Judea and Samaria in their homeland
B ,   Us   (12.18.06)
Bless those that are fighting for the Jewish right to live and exist in their religeous homeland. One Jewish nation in this World and it includes the right of Jews to live in the lLand of their ancestors. Jews have been transferred from all the Arab nations and are forbidden to live and return in these countries. No need to make any more Land on this planet Jew-free, especially the Land of Israel which includes Judea and Samaria.
