Enough with the whining, already! It is a CRIME to build without approval of architectural drawings and proper building permits. It is a CRIME to illegally tap into the Israeli national water carrier. It is a CRIME to illegally tap into Israel's electrical grid. It is a CRIME to illegally tap into Israel's gas carriers. The Arabs are not exempt from these laws, yet they continue to build DESPITE not having approved architectural drawings. The Arabs break laws with impunity. They illegally tap into national water, electricity and gas carriers. This is highly dangerous. EVERYBODY in Israel has a hard time getting approval for building. EVERYONE. And the Arabs generally don't produce architectural drawings, and don't bother with permits. This endangers everyone. Wbat, all of a sudden it is "racist" to require architectural drawings (by a licensed architect) and permits? Try building in the United States without any of that. You'll get bulldozed so quickly, your head will spin. And stealing water, electricity and gas services is AGAINST THE LAW. The Arabs are not immune, understand? They can follow the law ... or they can get their illegal homes demolished. I don't see a problem.

Try building an extension onto YOUR house without the proper permits, and watch what happens. Try illegally tapping into your local water, electricity and gas supply, and watch what happens. Hell, illegally tapping into your neighbor's WiFi is a Class C felony. Get a grip.
