hi pongo.
that will be the right way to act
if you want to see the situation degrades to chaos.
allso the main reason the army is deployed, is to stop terrorist infiltrating in to israel.
but you are right, the army is protecting those settlements, (with an abusred and ridiculous force) there are around 100 soldiers watching about 10 families.
those settlements have to go, and they WILL go, eventually.
you must understand the difficullty of uprooting them. and that it takes time.
xrtoronto.
those jews are part of the orthodox faction in the Judaism and they belive that the holyland must be kept untouched untill god approves, and every man maid action in the holyland prevents redemption. this is why they dont want israel to exist.
about 90% of the jews that lived in israel (the area not the country) before 1880 (this is when the first "ali'ya") where those jews, and they all lived in the 4 holy cities. where they dedicated theirs lifes for studying, and lived from donations.
thats only the tip of the iceberg, but i think it summarized the issue.
