Those crazy settlers are a menace.

maybe we ought to make them build mines and railroads instead of founding new cities.

If this is what a 'liberal' settler can do, I shudder to think what an extremist settler is capable of...

Reality, meet Mobius.

Even the Israeli media calls those people terrorists, and Az already commented on these "up in arms" illusions of yours.

This is step in the right direction. Those settlers are a real liability for Israel. You should kick em out of Israel as well if they play up. They're an embarrassment.

Otoh its not their fault on another level. The only reason they're in Gaza, Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and the West Bank is because of some pretty unjust and cynical policies promoted by the Zionist right of Israeli politics - to create a "Greater Israel" and make it permanent by creating "facts on the ground". That policy has been dead in the water for years. And quite right too.

Once all the settlers are out you can make a start on compensating the millions of Arabs who had their land and homes stolen since 1948.

Otherwise, I mean if there isn't a just peace, I fear that one day Israel won't exist. Its just a matter of time.
