Settler Revenge
By now everyone who cares about these things has heard the story of the three Israeli teenagers who were kidnapped and killed.
As revenge for their murders the settlers of Israel - which operate with support of the government of Israel, has decided to build on more occupied territory.

The above article is one of many; the day after the bodies were found Israeli cabinet members called for immediate settlement building in occupied territory.
How is building in occupied territory revenge for murder?
Simple. By building in the occupied territory you
a) increase the amount of jews in the occupied territory making removal of them in the event of a peace deal near impossible. Removing 5000 jews from Gaza nearly split the country apart, wait till they try removing 500,000 jews.
b) break up any contiguity to a potential Palestinian state - with settlement blocks break up any connection from arab town to arab town.
c) force more Palestinians off their lands and into ghettoes where water, electricity, and movements are all under martial law.
d) prevent any possibility of a 2 state solution.
Building settlements in occupied territory is the non-violent form of creating a combination of apartheid, genocide, and transfer.
Hard to keep crying you're the victim when you refuse to acknowledge your own actions.

Days of Rage, Jewish Style
The Arabs are protesting because they don't have enough freedom. Jews are protesting because they have too much.
"Settlers attack West Bank villages following outpost demolitions
Police and Palestinians say settlers threw petrol bomb into a house, damaged several cars in West Bank."

A small fringe group of Israelis build illegal housing on land which is not theirs. The land may be Israel's it may be Palestinian, but it ain't theirs.
They didn't have any housing permits. They didn't buy the land. The housing wasn't built to code or safety standards. The housing was not zoned to take into consideration growth and water and electric and sewage or any of the numerous considerations that go into developing public land.
And most importantly: It's Not Their Land.
But that didn't stop them from building on it and expressing righteous indignation and anger when the government demolished the illegal buildings. And now these same religious Jews are violently attacking Palestinians because the Israeli government demolished their illegal building on stolen land.
And then a Rabbi comes out and demands that the Israeli government discuss the situations, have dialogue with these criminals, before demolishing their illegal building on stolen land.
It must be a secular left wing conspiracy by atheist Arab loving Jew haters which is behind these racist attacks on these poor god-fearing Jews.
