An Israeli settler holds her baby near the unauthorized outpost of Mitzpe Avichai near the Kiryat Arba settlement in the West Bank city of Hebron after the outpost was destroyed by the Israeli army on Jan. 12, 2012. Israeli troops demolished an unauthorized settler outpost made up of 10 wooden huts in the southern West Bank, police and the military said.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that the Mitzpe Avichai outpost was illegally established in 2007 and had expanded in the past year to house nine families. It is the third such outpost to be demolished in the last week.

We see that your glass is still half empty for you since you can't tolerate what should be good news for you. Great article and comment as it exposes you as the mere anti-semite you display yourself to be.

Kind of ruins your posts to the effect about "Only palestinian settlers get bulldozed" "Israellis only get their hand slapped", etc. Why is that? You are no longer rational with your posting with such disparities. Did some gorgeous Jewish chick (or boy) dump you back in Middle school?

Jews in Judea, build baby build! Sameratans in Samaria, Build baby build! Jordan -let ALL palestinians have full rights... Restore the citizenship you took away from 1.2 Million of your palestinians...
