The illegal settlement will not only be frozen they will be removed.

Israel is a very ethnically and religiously fractured country.

Ethnically you have Jews, Russians, Palestinians etc.

Religiously you have a total mishmash and you can never claim that Israel is purely a `Jewish` state.

With the influx of settlers from the WB in two years, as per Obama`s edict, Israel will become more divided and further ingrained with religious extremism.

Call it a side effect of peace but it wouldn`t surprise me if these Judaic zealots broke away from Israel and set up their own little statelet of some form.

A state within a state if you like.

At least they won`t be in the WB.
