Those who know the truth feel only contempt for these illegal settlers and the Israeli Government. The arrogance is beyond comprehension of decent human beings. One wonders at the psychological makeup of people who promote the rise in antisemanism such as the Katz's and Bibi who go where they do not belong with such arrogance.

Just as, in former times, USers operating under the mandate of Manifest Destiny had to cleanse the aboriginal and earlier immigrants from within the borders of the USofA. Real politik dictates that they cannot tolerate any fully-functioning, competitive state within their boundaries. So the two-state solution is always already a non-starter. Can you imagine Bibi or any other Israeli pol standing in front of an audiience of the Katzes and their ilk, trying to explain that they couldn't have british green manorial lawns because the Arabs owned that part of the water supply? Neither can I... The elephant in the zone is that, as a matter of real politik, Israel MUST 'ethnically cleanse' the arabs from Palestine.
