And this is under the 'doves'......

An unauthorised Jewish settlement in the West Bank, illegal even under Israeli law, appears to benefiting from state funding, the BBC has uncovered.

A road is being built from the established settlement of Eli, near the Palestinian city of Nablus, leading east to the illegal outpost at Hayovel.

Settlement expansion is a major barrier to an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.

The international community regards all settlements in the West Bank as illegal under international law.

Israel disputes this, but even under Israeli law, those newer, smaller settlements - known as outposts - which have not received authorisation from the government are deemed, by the Israeli government, to be illegal.

The BBC asked the relevant government and military departments why this road was being built on what their own map indicates is privately owned Palestinian land; and how this road tallied with the government policy of no public funding going towards outposts.

No-one was able to provide the BBC with an answer. However, in a fax to the Israeli human rights group, Yesh Din, which has been investigating the issue of the road on behalf of the Palestinian villagers, an official from Israel's Civil Administration said that the matter was now in the hands of "inspectors".

And of course should anyone feeling the effects of this take up arms...."OMG TEH T34R0R....THEY DOAN'T WANT PEACE!"!!!!!!".

Pathetic. Pathetic that the US supports them, pathetic that the EU hasn't brought sanctions against them.

Why do you love Hitler?

Yeah they just where the line is and they cross it all the time. We all know they push their luck time and time again. It does not appear that they were state sponsored. It would appear that the settlers did so on their own accord in defiance of the law. They should be forced to move and with little or no warning.

Is it really surprising? Bibi won, and is pandering to Avigdor. Things are going to go really bad.

They may have set up the oupost on their todd, but if the state is including it on its road building plan, they're aiding and abetting.

O, its all going to go to shite now. A coalition of the mad, the bad and the ugly....They'll speed up expansion and consolidation in the West Bank and Arab East Jerusalem, and keep poking the Palestinians with a stick in Gaza, so as to get an excuse to bomb the place....

Meanwhile Abbas sits on his useless fat ass and panders to them.

Actually, since I think Bibi doesn't really have an officially solidified coalition yet, and I guess this has been going on for a while, I suppose it was done under Kadima's rule. Well, I've been sorry that I voted for them on that election for quite a while now.

Its either 'softly softly' or a big rush. Either way, it keeps expanding its hold, regardless of who is at the wheel.

Anyone can use a road. I think you are correct as would water, sewer, power etc. Let's face I think they are guilty and have been caught again. They should be forced to make them move again.

Frak. Frak. Frak. Frak. FRAK!

This is why they shouldn't have elected Netanyahu.

I pray he screws up soon, and we get elections ASAP.

But this was done under Livni/Olmert.....

What's this?!.. Illegal Israeli expansion? Well that's just too shocking for words!...

...

:p

Somebody suggested a solution for this - perhaps renaming Israel and Palestine to something funny, can't quite remember what the new names would be though.

Well maybe better just to give the west bank to the Jews and tell the Palestinians to move to Jordan.

Would a different outcome of the election have made a difference? No.

Nothing changes, it seems...

Yeah, but we all know anyone who's not kissing Kahanist ass is gonna get Yigal Amired.

Or I should say, Rabined.

Since when do the Kahanists have anything to do with mainstream Israeli politics?

Israel would become "My heterosexuality"

And Palestine would become "Super happy fun fun land"

Nobody would take the idea of attacking a place, or being attacked by a place called "Super happy fun fun land" seriously.

And nobody in Palestine would be able to suggest launching attacks against "My heterosexuality" without being lynched.

Near on two pages in, no mention of Grand Mufti yet.......
