    The official said Saturday that Netanyahu said in a meeting that if Ulpana is destroyed its five apartment buildings will be built tenfold elsewhere. Otherwise, the buildings will be moved to the nearby settlement of Beit El. He spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.

    About 30 families live in Ulpana. Israel’s Supreme Court has ruled it was built illegally and ordered it dismantled by July.

    Palestinians view settlements and outposts to be encroachments on land they claim for a state.

    There goes the Arab loving Jew hater again.
    The only way to fight it, is as the Arabs fight it.
    Shoot arabs, bomb them, burn their areas, and get rid of all the Arab leftists by shooting them all!
    Get rid of any non-Jew in Israel.
    All power to the people, the REAL ones. Not the fake Jews!

    #3 Yes I have. If a Jew builds a structure illegally in NY or Miami or anywhere else the zoning board will demolish it. If a Jew builds a building illegaly in Israel it should also be demolished. The fact that the occupants are Jews does not place the above the law. The Hugh Court found these buildings to have been built illegaly and the full extant law should be applied to them.
