Israeli security forces demolished a tiny Jewish settlement outpost in the West Bank yesterday days after Binyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, promised President Obama that he would take a tougher stance against the illegal communities built on Palestinian land.

Only hours after police left the prefab shacks and makeshift synagogue in ruins, however, settlers led by a nationalist member of the Israeli parliament moved back in and started rebuilding the settlement of Maoz Esther, an extension of the existing community of Kokhav Hashahar.

At their meeting in Washington earlier this week, Mr Obama called on Mr Netanyahu to dismantle scores of illegal “outposts” — effectively new suburbs of established settlements.

Mr Netanyahu reportedly agreed to the demands, but hours after the demolition he said that Jerusalem would remain the capital of Israel and would “never be divided”.

Palestinians seeking to establish their own state in a future peace agreement want their capital to be in the city. Saeb Erekat, a Palestinian negotiator, said: “He’s saying the state of conflict will be eternal.”

In Maoz Esther, no one from the outpost was arrested when security forces moved in with a digger to destroy the half dozen jerry-built homes and a shrine on a hillside.

Standing among washing machines, furniture and holy books that the settlers removed before the bulldozers moved in, the MP Michael Ben Ari of the National Union party helped to rebuild one of the destroyed wooden homes. Mr Ben Ari, whose party is a member of the governing coalition, said: “I have this drill and by tonight the family will be sleeping here again.

“This is just a political game played by Ehud Barak to placate his party,” he said, referring to deep divisions in the Defence

At this time, no one knows if the Israelis will be thrown out of their land again, but they will come to know their Messiah and then no power on earth or in Hell will be able to oppose them. They will live in THEIR land in peace and prosperity as they did under King Solomon because He will reign in Jerusalem, and they will spread out from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River FOREVER.

The Israeli government had banned new settlements long before Obama was elected.

Obama’s god is a very weak god, for Obama believes that god cannot accomplish his will without Obama’s help and permission. Obama’s god consults with Obama daily for guidance. Obama’s god is Socialism and Obama is his prophet.

Allah was one of the 360 pagan gods of Saudi Arabia, and when Muhammed took over, he got rid of 359 pagan gods, and kept only Allah, who under the old system of pagan gods, had 3 daughters.

Solomon Rushdie wrote a book, telling this tale about these 3 daughters, and this is why Muslims were trying to kill him. The book was called “Satanic Verses”. Muslims do not like it when we tell just how we know that allah is not the real God. Muhammed made up the words for allah in the Koran.
