Why do Zionists need to make up outrageous lies?

Why do Zionists use Nazi rhetoric?

Why do Zionists selectively enforce their own laws?

Why do Zionists feel it is permitted to steal Palestinian land?

Answer: G-d said it was OK.

Young Israelis Resist Challenges to Settlements

SHVUT AMI OUTPOST, West Bank -- For two months, Jewish youths have been
renovating an old stone house on this muddy hilltop in the northern
West Bank. The house is not theirs, however. It belongs to a
Palestinian family. And their seizure of it, along with the land
around it, for a new settlement outpost is a violation of Israeli law.
The police have evicted the group five times, but they keep coming
back.

Yedidya Slonim, 16, one of the renovators here, who grew up in another
West Bank settlement, Tzofim, said of the police: "We come back
straight away, as soon as they've gone. They come every week for half
a day. It doesn't bother us so much."

The cat-and-mouse contest here lays bare a key dilemma of the Israeli-
Palestinian dispute: Israel has pledged that it will permit no new
settlements in the territory it has occupied since the 1967 war, no
more expropriation of Palestinian land and dismantle unauthorized
outposts -- like this one -- erected since March 2001, but it has never
applied the muscle needed to do so.

"Shvut Ami is a chronicle of failure of law enforcement," said Michael
Sfard, an Israeli lawyer who represents the Palestinian owners of the
house on behalf of Yesh Din, an Israeli volunteer organization that
fights for Palestinian rights. In this respect, he said, the area is
"a jungle."

So the settlers continue building a patchwork of communities to try to
preclude the drawing of a border between Israel and a future
Palestinian state. At the vanguard are the hilltop youth, teenagers
like Yedidya, who work to complicate the demographic map ever more.

A settler organization called the Land of Israel Faithful has promised
to set up seven more outposts over the eight-day Hanukkah holiday,
which began Tuesday night -- and to "strengthen" Shvut Ami.

According to Peace Now, an Israeli advocacy group that tracks
settlement activity, most of the hundred or so outposts already in
existence are built at least partially on private Palestinian land.

Shvut Ami sits across a valley from Mitzpeh Ishai, a new neighborhood
of the Jewish settlement of Kedumim. Kedumim was established in the
1970s between the Palestinian villages of Funduk, Kadum and Imaten,
about seven miles east of the 1967 lines.

Most of the world considers all Jewish settlement in the West Bank a
violation of international law. But Israel asserts that the territory
is disputed, and the hilltop youths believe it was promised to them by
God.

Sometimes, a price is paid in blood. On Nov. 19, a 29-year-old local
settler, Ido Zoldan, was shot dead in his car by Palestinian gunmen at
the entrance to Funduk. Mr. Zoldan, who grew up in Kedumim, had worked
in his father's construction company, which builds settlement homes
all over the West Bank.

The Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, a militia affiliated with the mainstream
Fatah movement headed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, took
credit for the attack.

Five nights after the killing, hundreds of settlers converged at the
entrance of Funduk in protest. They rampaged through the village,
smashing house and car windows.

Villagers said the Israeli soldiers and police accompanying the
protesters mostly stood aside while the settlers ran wild.

Military officials said the Funduk protest had not been authorized by
the army. Soldiers and police officers had dispersed the riot, they
said.

For years, the settlers have exploited the ambivalence displayed
toward them by the Israeli authorities.

The Shvut Ami outpost sits on private Palestinian land inherited by
the two wives and children of Abd al-Ghani Salah Amar, of Kadum,
according to ownership records produced by the family.

Mr. Amar built the stone house in 1963, 10 years before he died. The
roughly 17 acres of land are planted with hundreds of olive and almond
trees, some figs and some vines. The estate is managed by one of Mr.
Amar's daughters, Badriya Amar, a 61-year-old widow who still lives in
Kadum.

Mrs. Amar filed an official complaint with the Israeli police in early
October for trespassing on her family land. Micky Rosenfeld, a police
spokesman, said the ownership documents were being examined by the
authorities for authenticity.

In the meantime, the site has been declared a closed military zone.
Behind the settler youths who are building here are the guiding hands
of adults. One of the leading ideologues of the outpost movement is
Daniella Weiss, a former mayor of Kedumim.

Yedidya says that "someone" from Kedumim connected them to the water
mains, and local supporters bring food and raise funds. Nachman
Zoldan, Ido's father, helped out a lot in the beginning; Ido also
provided equipment and advice before he was killed.

Based on experience, there is no guarantee when Shvut Ami, Hebrew for
"my people's return," will be restored to Mrs. Amar.

Another illegal outpost, Migron, was established on private
Palestinian land in 2002. More than 40 families now live there in
trailer homes. Peace Now successfully petitioned Israel's Supreme
Court in 2006 to order its removal, but in Migron, nothing has
changed. At the latest hearing, on Nov. 1, Israel's defense minister,
Ehud Barak, asked for a two-month extension to allow him to formulate
a comprehensive plan for the removal of illegal outposts.

Mrs. Amar last visited her orchards in early November, to try to pick
a few olives. She was chased away by the settlers, she said.

Yedidya suggests that Mrs. Amar could move to Jordan or Egypt or one
of the other Arab states. "God gave this to us," he said. "Now that
we're here, I don't think we're going to move."

Rice Warns Israel on Land

BRUSSELS, Dec. 7 (Reuters) -- United States Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice warned Israel on Friday that its plan to build 300
housing units on land captured in the 1967 war threatened American-
backed efforts to reach peace with the Palestinians.

"We are in a time when the goal is to build maximum confidence with
the parties and this doesn't help to build confidence," she said on
the sidelines of a NATO meeting, in a rare United States criticism of
Israel.
