unfortunately the party is over. 300,000 Israeli's in the west bank is not good. If these people are true zionists they need to move to the Galil or the Negev there every Jew is needed. The West bank project is unfortunately is over. We have lost this battle let's regroup and win the war!. We need a strong Israel with a strong Jewsih majority. We need total separation from the Palestinians.

Americans and the World are becoming more mad as hell, and soon will not take it anymore! The resulting reality for Israel is obvious ... still time to fix according to our Torah and simple humanity.

Messika also said "This is a racist, immoral and illegal decision which is therefore invalid". I would remind the likes of Messika and posters here that the Israel’s Supreme Court ruled that the WB was under *belligerent occupation*. Therefore all Israeli settlements in the WB are illegal under international law. For the Yesha Council to claim any form of ‘legitimacy’ for these settlements is farcical. Clearly the Israeli Gov has lost control over this illegal enterprise and will now be shown to be incapable of enforcing its decisions and applying the rule of law. It is a sad state of affairs all around as the world will see that the Israeli Gov is so weak that it cannot control its own people.

Isaiah 54 1"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear! Break forth into singing and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife," saith the LORD. 2Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. 3For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4"Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 5For thy Maker is thine husband" the LORD of hosts is His name" and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called. SOMETHING IS WERY WRONG HERE !!!. LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS. CERTAINLY THE PM AS A JEW KNOWS THE SCRIPTURE. Arn-Orao.

the first step is always civil disobedience. in this case it is the banning of the paper pushing inspectors. bringing in the army to quell this uprising will be the biggest mistake made by the government. bibi must get rid of ehud barak and the remainder of the left wingers in his government before this conflict with the settlers spills over into tragic consequences.

People who betray others who place their confidence in them -- whether it's trust between family members, between leaders and their constituents, or in other relationships of trust -- the betrayers will suffer a hard and unkind fate.

It is time to declare independence

Clearly they are taking a path towards civil war

...and they have been out of control for years. Bibi (in a great "DUH!" moment) now understands that a Jewish state is incompatible with the vision of a greater land of Israel and he is seeking the most beneficial compromise around the formula of a 2 state solution. (and please spare all the nonsense of trying to convince the world that Jordan is Palestine - my grandmother would buy it but thats about it!) The zealots of the extreme right have a choice between joining the Israeli consensus or acheiving their political martyrdom. Sanity must prevail or the consequences will be dire.

...it's as if there is no coherent government structure in Israel.

Galil, the party is over all right, for the anti-democratic left. Israel voted resoundingly for the massive settlement of Judea and Samaria. That is why the settlement hating Labor and Meretz Parties are on their political death beds. Do you really think we are going to surrender to the settlement freeze? You've got to be kidding! The Jewish population of Judea and Samaria will continue to surge. Before you know it, it will exceed 1,000,000 Jews.

They can scream and cry all they want , their days are numbered. Soon the illegal squaters will be removed. The average Israeli has never set foot in the west bank and why would they? These so called religious settlers hate us anyway. If there was a referendum tommorow they would be overwhelmingly voted to leave.
