Israeli Forces Destroy Four Jewish-Owned Houses
Virtual Jerusalem ^ | 10/9/2013

Police forces and Yassam tactical unit officers on Wednesday destroyed four homes in Geulat Tzion, a small agricultural community is located near Shiloh in the Samaria (Shomron) region.

Jewish-owned homes in the region are demolished from time to time by IDF forces acting under orders from the Civil Administration, which claimes that the homes were built illegally.

Before demolishing the structures,security forces ordered an evacuation of the four houses in the Samaria outpost Wednesday morning. Two right-wing activists tried to breach a closed military zone declared around the area and threw rocks at the security forces, but both were detained shortly after.

A group of Christian volunteers witnessed the IDF destroying the four homes in Samaria. Tommy Waller of the HaYovel organization told Arutz Sheva they were "devastated" upon seeing the army bulldoze the homes.

"When we came here last year, one of our volunteers watched them build one of the houses," Waller said.

The volunteers, who are helping farm in nearby Shilo, were shocked to see the IDF demolish three caravan style trailer homes and one hand-built stone house. "One of our volunteers had even been in the house last year," Waller stated. "We came back from break shocked to see the IDF tearing it down. It was very emotional. They violently pulled everything out of the house, bulldozed it, then destroyed all the furniture," Waller stated.

Police began receiving calls from Arabs in the nearby village of Galud around 3 hours after the demolitions. The calls were reports of vandalism on Arab owned fields, olive trees, numerous vehicles, and a local school. Detectives from a patrol unit specializing in nationalistic crimes were soon on the scene and arrested four suspects wearing masks as they threw stones at security forces.

The detainees were suspected of entering the village, damaging Arab property, and causing a number of disturbances. They were brought to the central unit squad which inspects nationalistic crimes for further questioning.

It is odd how Israelis, who are constantly accused of acting like nazis by muslims, seem to act like real nazis on their own kind.

Benyamin Netanyahu is nothing but another secular politician. Unfortunately, most Israeli politicians are. Modern Israel was founded by secular politicians (both right wing and left wing).

The Israeli establishment absolutely refuses to consider that the Jewish Nations just might be different from every other nation on earth in having received a Revelation from G-d. To them it's just any old country, a "Hebrew-speaking Portugal" that just happens to be located where it is.

One wonders why so many secular Jews insisted on the land of "redneck mythology" for their secular homeland.

Netanyahu is a windbag. The fighting back of the nationalists against the soldiers is an example of Rav. Meir Kahane's Zt"l prediction that Israel's liberation from the galut mentality (ghetto mentality) will not come from the government or the military but from the people.

I had hoped for something different, especially since he begun Bible studies in his office. I cannot imagine a US president having a Bible study in the Oval Office! On the other hand, every time he talks about the 2 state solution, I wonder if he's ever read Joel 3:2 and what the Lord thinks of those who will divide the land.
