Israel's settlement policy could trigger a third intifada, experts warn Netanyahu

If they are really that bell bent on going to their eternal reward, then we have no choice but to give them that chance. after all why should we keep someone from their eternal reward according to their religion. and the Arab religion propogates murder of Jewish and Zionist men women. children and babies. it makes no mind an intifida will get them nothing but many dead. because this time we will be better prepared. and if they try and overrun our border fences, they will be met with non lethal methods first, if that does not work then very lethal methods will be implemented. if they want a PEACEFUL Intifada carrying banners and such fine... but if you commit to a crossing of our borders peaceful or not men, women, childern and babies will be met with non violent methods and it fhat does not work then walking will be very very hard with bulllets in them. and if you continue even past that. then death is your next meeting. we will not tolerate a violent third intifada.

Why does the world feel that they can run Israel better than Israel? We have obama from the USA that argues with Israel where their capital is; Israel says Jerusalem, obama says not. We have Russia, China, and obama telling Israel they can't protect themselves from Iran, and if they try... We have PA, and the UN telling Israel to give Jerusalem to PA, and the West Bank knowing full well that this land is truly for the Israeli people. The world has all other lands. Just unbelievable! In all these cases everyone is using the violence word toward Israel. A country that helps the world in a lot of areas just to see harshness as a pay back. As for those mosques I fine very offensive in many ways, murder is just one of them.

Oh no, that's the LAST thing Israel would want.

it him who build new settlements!

I have been living with my extended family in the Bethlehem area for most of my life. Our lives are for the most part far better than most of the other Arabs living in the middle East. I’m much happier here than I would be in Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon Iraq, Iran. Many of my family members work in Israel and many interact with Israelis in the WB and for the most part the interactions with the Israelis are positive ones. Our health system is reasonable, Our schools are very good and all in all we are happy. There were certain periods in my life that life was difficult and that was during the first and second intifadas where the PA leaders encouraged violence to benefit there corrupt pockets. If Israel leaves the West Bank than most Palestinian residents will suffer greatly!

and pardon me if I am wrong, I seem to remember considerable violence towards Israelis before Israel even placed its big toe in the West Bank. The settlement issue is just another excuse in the weary parade of deligitimization of Israel in that area in particular and its rightful place in the Middle East in general.

their problem and shall be treated such.

If Palestinians can't destroy Israel through diplomacy, they will try to do it through violence. They don't need any other excuses.

The enemies of Israel agreed to natural growth of Jewish communities, but like every other treaty the enemies of Israel have signed they have reneged on all agreements. Natural growth is legal, and agreed upon, it is a non-issue. Those who have an issue with Israel building homes for Jews have a problem with a nation for Jews and are the reason the conflict is still ongoing.

The existential risk is not Iran nor the Palestinians but Bibi and the settlements. It's just a matter of a few years and the Palestinians will win the whole thing

It provides the excuse to one day fully occupy the West Bank; most likely when the war against Iran starts. It's all so very transparent.

to start a new round of bloodshed.They promised to stop violence if Israel ends the occupation of Gaza and WB.Israel fulfilled 50 % of their demand.Do you think Palestinians violence dropped 50 %?????Palestinian word is as worthy as the al Qaida's one.

And Politicians of all stripes are well aware of it; some even look forward to it. Why? Well maybe it’s because it can be used to introduce "emergency measures" which is of course a euphemism for 'doing whatever I want'. Or am I just being cynical?

I have been a supporter of Israel since as a child I collected dimes to plant tree's. I graduated to buying bonds & donating money BUT I have to say I am sick to death of a small minority of religious zealots in the West bank controlling the whole worlds peace plans. These people are 100% in charge of what/how/why there is NO PEACE.... Maybe some day there will be a real leader who will tell the West Bankers to stick it where the sun does not shine & MAKE PEACE !!!!

His failure to react might be concern or calculation. Maybe he is looking for a way to turn whatever happens into a bonus for his political career.
