"The settlers are defying the authorities and they are keen to portray themselves as the victims"
"Within a matter of weeks, the settlers will probably find a way to reoccupy the houses"
Settlers in Hebron are among the most militant in the West Bank, territory Israel has occupied since the 1967 Middle East war.
These "settlers" happen to be some of the most peaceful, loving people that anyone could ever meet. Rabbi David Wilder is this small man who has a smile that could light up a room. But that's besides the fact, the reason Hevron is headline news today has absolutely nothing to do with the "occupation of the West Bank." It has to do with our enemies being smarter than our leaders. Hevron is one of the four holiest cities for the Jewish people, it is also the burial site of our Patriarchs and Matriarchs.
The Arabs get this, and they purposely use it for the very reason that it's important to the Jews, because they know what this war is about, and yes it is a war. Our leaders, and American, and UN leaders think that this is a war about land. But the Arabs know that this is a spiritual war, and they know that if they deprive us of out holiest sites than that will give them the ability to successfully wage war against us.
The Jews of Hevron know this, that's why they live there. They know how important it is to live in these holy cities, and how important it is for the continuation of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. The government doesn't get it. The foreign governments don't get it. The media for sure doesn't get. We need to get it and support those people who do the things we wish we could do but are unable to.
Oh, and regarding the second quote, the houses were destroyed.
