Now, on to the 4,000 or so demolition orders for construction in East Jerusalem. I won't be holding my breath. This construction may have been illegal, under Israeli law, but selective enforcement of the law is a far more serious problem.

"This construction may have been illegal, under Israeli law, but selective enforcement of the law is a far more serious problem."

I read it as a low-profile attempt at state coercion of the citizenry, to force compliance through intimidation. These rascally settlers, setting up shop wherever they want, are throwing a wrench into the ruling elite's well orchestrated peace dealings. Barack's got Bibi on the verge of a permanent deal, doncha' know.

A very minor Ruby Ridge/Waco incident, just without the screaming, flames and dead bodies.
