Report: IDF prepares to demolish yeshiva at West Bank settlement Yitzhar

If Israel could demolish the homes of 250 bedouin in the Negev yesterday; why not demolish this hot bed of ultra orthodox extremism. No double standards.

The army is busy distroying the bedouin village

someone remembers words - "kan noladiti...?" just asking

unbelievably lame.

Another decision to boost confidence in the goverment and its leaders but you have to hand it to them it would be hard to even imagine such a macarbre way of dealling with idealogical differences the state against the indivduals is a sad and undignified way of dealling with the issue of his book

and all the settlers expelled once and for all, those who are not israelians to be expelled out of the country.

Sorry people but if we start demolishing schools because we disagree with legitimate political views that we may not agree with, where do we stop? I happen not to agree with some of the rantings by the professors at Ben – Gurion University, or the faculty of some over left wing school, does that mean we should knock it down?

So, because of political ideas we can destroy an entire institute of studies? So someone because he lives in a place woulod had to be in prison?? And they think only in themselves being one of the most active sectors of Israeli society, serving the army, in the yshuvim inside ther is mostly no security problem... For some fanatics we punish all? I can't imagine the Israeli governement following the steps of our enemis : the Inquisition, Cosacs and Hitler also destroyed Yeshivots..

Israel has a history of doing the right thing . Sinai, Gaza and other illegal settlements have been eliminated. contrast this with the Palestinian refusal to negotiate in good faith with out pre-conditions, but for the Palestinians this is business as usual. they are still hoping Israel will disappear.

Let me get this straight, the “establishment” doesn’t like something’s the head of the Yeshiva said, and they don’t like some of the things some of the people of that city have done, so they tear down the local Yeshiva?! And some of you people think this is the rule of law?! Not in a normal democracy it isn’t. When are they going to tear down Ben-Gurion university?

... just let me know when you did it. The Supreme Court determined years ago that some settlements are built on private Arab land and must be evacuated and the land restored to the owners. So what happened? Nothing. The army fears the response of the settlers. Yitzhar is a Kahanist settlement, the worst of the lot. The destruction of a Yeshiva building is especially prone for demagoguery and public hysteria. Will the IDF dare carry out the court order? The record indicates otherwise. So let us not waste out time on this bit of news.

The last 5 years, almost all acts of terrorism have been by the Israeli's. Settlers shooting Pals, vandalizing their mosques and homes, burning and cutting their fruit trees, stealing their land . IDF shooting Pal and non-Pal demonstrators, shooting blindfolded, handcuffed Pals in the foot, shooting women carrying white flags, using Pal civilians as human shields, and declaring closed military zones to steal Pal land.. But still the Israeli goverment whines about Pal terrorism without acknowledging that the real problem is Israeli terrorism. But the world is finally catching on to what is really going on.

Shalom, Forget about the suspected Jewish extremists as the motivation to demolish a yeshiva in Israel. Couldn't this also be the face of modern Israeli peace-making? if Israel hurts itself, (i.e. painful concessions) somehow the Palestinians and their supporters will realize the truth; that Israeli's wants peace. Trouble is... it hasn't worked. Peace is truly one constructive decision away. The decision of the Palestinians to join us in peace and live a better life without bloodshed and hostility. May this day come soon but not before they are ready and certainly not at the cost of losing our minds.

but that is what the government wants. There are thousands of illegal Arab building throughout Israel in the North in the Negev in East Jerusalem. Defense minister Barak wants to prove something so he is tearing it down. In the end it may be another atzmona. Which was a failure in the past government.

Every other demolishing of settlements and settler buildings has turned the extremist settlers against innocent Palestinian villagers nearby, attacking their person and property. The army does not protect them.

There is going to be violence and war if this is carried out. This is not a threat, this is an observation. The IDF and the law establishment are crossing very big red lines in my opinion, and they must remember, they are not dealing with Haredim. If they destroy that yeshiva by applying the rule of the law 'selectively' against them, this could very well spiral out of control.

It's beyond difficult to comprehend that gangsters such as the Yitzhar settlers & Rabbi Itzik Shapira even have a right to appeal their illegal occupation of land that does not belong to them or Israel. Who cares about a yeshiva? Rabbi Shapira plus each & every Israeli illegally beyond the 1947 border, including Avigdor Lieberman, belongs in prison.

"The IDF preparing"

is that the goal?

These settlers are too self concious about their primitive religion...

there'll be no last minute reprieve. This lot need a taste of their own medicine,

shame on the zettlers,because of them we will never have peace.they just love themselves and nothing else.Let Israel be a state for all jews.

Finally Israel uses the rule of law against her whole population. A small, but important step against the greatest danger to the existence of Israel as a democratic jewish state: the ultraorthodox religious.
