I just cannot comprehend this? So Israelis have to pay millions of shekels to keep them alive, too? Will someone please explain?

There is a popular Dutch columnist who writes for "de Volkskrant", a newspaper in the Netherlands that "prides" itself on the high quality of its (progressive) journalism. His name is Thomas von den Dunk. He blamed the muders in Itamar on the parents; they should not have been there. I do not support the settler enterprise. However, after reading his foaming at the mouth tirades of hate I realized that the settlers and I are family. We face the same existential enemies.

Five people murdered. Next day five new settlements bearing their names.

However, the government talks out of both sides of its mouth. The children of Migron can't even have a library to replace the destroyed one because there has been a stop put to all legal movement of caravans.

As usual, Y-Net is too scared to present both sides of an argument. Israel is no more a democracy than I am a jew!

their honor... TATA

The most inappropriate thing to do, is to make the Fogel family into martyrs of Palestinian terrorism. But to make them into determination to find peace. Israel will have to make a decision about what to do with the settlements. Either return the settlers back to the pre-1967 borders, or let them stay and become citizens of Palestine. Because the given is, there will never be a Jewish majority in the West Bank.
