Settlers Torch Army Troop Transport

Ha'aretz reports:

Young female settlers set an Israel Defense Forces troop transport on fire Monday night and punctured its tires near the West Bank settlement of Kedumim, located south of Sa-Nur and Homesh, slated for evacuation on Tuesday. There were no casualties in the incident.

Earlier Monday night, dozens of pullout opponents were arrested after blocking a road north of the nearby settlement of Kedumim. Police also arrested Kedumim Mayor Danielle Weiss near Bar-On, in the same area, on Monday night.

The main focus of anti-disengagement resistance is expected to be in Sa-Nur, where many Kach activists and hilltop youth are believed to have set up camp. Some of these pullout foes are, it is assumed, carrying firearms. Security forces, however, say that there is only a slight chance that any shots will be fired.…

Defense officials have intelligence suggesting that extreme right-wing activists are planning to hole themselves up in various locations in the two settlements. Some of the activists have apparently stockpiled Molotov cocktails and perhaps even hand grenades. Senior officers believe that opposition will be much fiercer than the scenes at Kfar Darom last week. One of the places that extremists could try to entrench themselves is in the fortress at Sa-Nur. The IDF has already decided that if this happens, the police's special missions unit will be charged with overcoming and evacuating those barricaded inside.…

The head of the police division that includes the two settlements, Superintendent Yisrael Yitzhak, said that police had internalized the lessons of the battle with pullout foes on the roof of Kfar Darom synagogue.

There is no agent to transgression; the directives of the master vs. the directives of the student, to whom does one listen?

The "evacuators" ethnically clensing Gaza are just as guilty as the German soldiers who "followed orders."

Never be so quick to Judge another Jew.

For who knows what you would have done in his/her position? Only Hashem. You may be judging yourself by judging others.

You may say that you wouldn't of, but you really don't know the hardness or easiness of the situation.

Ditto for the Germans.

I have no respect for your sympathy!
