    Hebron Riots

    Look at those religious pr***ks - I am not sure what the difference is between them and the fayadeen. Same dress, same looks, same methods..... this is freaking embarrassing.

    They are people who were kicked out of their home. Agree or disagree with their politics or whether Jews should be in Hebron, unlike the "fayadeen", it's not like they woke up one day and decided to be violent for the heck of it.

    Fully support them. It's our duty to make the life unlivable for Arabs in Israel. We need more of this, and Hebron, Schem, Bethlehem, Jericho, and rest of the Land of Israel will be free. Religious or not, fanatics or not, what's the difference? They are all Jews, they are all our people.

    Regardless of whether the Jews in Hebron are justified, why does the military need to be involved? Couldn't the Israeli government effectively shut down ANY settlement by delivering notes explaining that in three months' time, all Israeli government services (ambulance, mail, road maintenance etc.) would be terminated, all commercial businesses would be prohibited from from providing goods to the settlement, and that the Israeli police and military would make no efforts to protect those remaining in the settlement, or those continuing to conduct business transactions with the settlement.

    Conclude with an offer of subsidized relocation, and then let the matter drop. If Israelis choose to stay and take their chances with the Palestinians, they're free to do so. Otherwise, they have plenty of time to relocate with government help. Either way, the military wouldn't need to be involved, and there would be no forced evacuations.

    IMO, the best way to get someone to do something is to make them WANT to do it. Is there a reason that the Israeli government doesn't employ such strategies?

    Right and in 1929 the whole Jewish community of Hebron , indigenous to Hebron, was annihilated by Arabs. That is, Arabs that wanted to do it.

    Whats priceless is that the PLO said that this will only 'exacerbate violence'. So pogroming Jews from YESHA will promote another intifada. Ok, let's not do that. The Palestinians themselves agree.

    I'm not talking about whether it is justified; I'm only asking why the Israeli government doesn't use such strategies to evict settlers without bringing in the military.

    I really don't think the Jewish population of Judea and Samaria would react to such tactics in the manner that you think they would, Djinn. I think such tactics would more likely lead to an all out war in the West Bank.

    But a war between who? In the West Bank, Palestinians outnumber Israelis by a huge margin, and without the Israeli military / police backing them up, it would be a rout.

    Futhermore, it could be safely predicted that at the end of the six months, the violence against the remaining settlers would be especially intense, since Palestinians would know that there would be no repercussions from Israel.

    In light of this, would most settlers really want to stick around, knowing the odds against them should they choose to remain?

    The same can be said about the 2nd Yeshuv, back in the day.
