the settlers in their own words
Thanks for that video report, it covered all the key points and was able to show the facts on the ground as they are.

I dont think the Israeli govt is stupid by any means and they have allowed the settlers to do this PURPOSELY. You will notice they dont subject Israelis to checkpoints to make sure they dont go outside the Isreali areas and create settlements right? Why not have borders and make sure that Israelis DO NOT even enter into Palestinian areas to build these settlements.

Also lets remember that many of the illegal settlements the Israeli govt claims no responsiblity for ends up connected to the Israeli infrastructure (water and electricity).

This is an american style genocide....they are simply pushing Palestinians off the land just as the euro settlers did in the americas. They are creating infrastructure that is unwelcoming and even prohibited to the Palestinians (much as the euro settlers did regarding natives). You build a society and do not allow them to participate, to thrive, to grow...you make sure not to include them in any parts of society and you dont leave them any place for them to exist as their own society either.

All of this provokes the targets and you use the provocation to outright kill them off. You terrorize them and make life unbearable.

This is a blueprint for genocide and its become harder for Israel to hide this fact.

I also think the Palestinian tactic of having children and fighting this through an increased birth rate is calculated. They understand whats being done to them and what the Israeli goal is, and since they are no match in a militarized conflict...this is the only way to survive and resist. This brutality will not be supported by the world indefinitely...it wont even be supported by Israelis indefinitely.

This is why many Israelis who really do want to keep a Jewish state are alarmed and understand that Israels survival depends on a just solution for Palestinians. They realize that while they win the battles today...they will ultimately lose the war and end up with this one state solution and there is no way a minority can rule over the majority AND be a democratic society (and they do want a democratic society). It would be the end of the "jewish state".

So whats rather ironic here is that those who are staunch and even blind supporters of Israel are crafting their own demise and supporting measures that will end up destroying the jewish states existence.
