Jerusalem – The Israeli military has begun demolishing an illegally-built carpentry workshop in a West Bank settlement as dozens of Jewish settlers are rallying against the move.

The military says it’s acting according to government directives, after the Supreme Court ruled that the building was among 17 that were built illegally on private Palestinian property and had to be torn down. Such court rulings are relatively common.
The settlers in Elazar in Gush Etzion, in the southern West Bank, linked arms and chanted slogans as the military prepared to tear down a wood carpentry workshop in the settlement on Wednesday.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem, in the 1967 war. About 600,000 settlers currently live there. Most of the international community considers them to be either illegal or illegitimate.

tragedy again! we do the work of our enemies to ourselves!
evil BIBI, there is no such thing as an illegal Jewish settlement in the Yehudeya/Shomron referred by anti-Semites as the west bank
I have never seen a government hate it’s people that much. Erev Rav government hates anything that is productive and by Israelis. I know the Arab illegal buildings, farms, etc. would not be destroyed like the Israeli possessions are being destroyed.
Israeli’s why do you keep elected the same people all the time, and all the time you will get the same result.
How heartwarming! Let these Israelis fight with their own kind. But why arnt they dubbed extremists as chareidim are? Cuz theyrecozy with the Zionists settlers but occasionally “disagree” w them. Nice sight though.
