Is the IDF Allowing the PA to Take over Judea and Samaria?

The Civil Administration, an arm of the IDF, plans to solve charges of bias in favor of illegal Arab buildings – by defining them as legal. Jewish leaders in Judea and Samaria have complained for years that Civil Administration, under the command of Defense Minister Ehud Barak and the IDF, destroys Jewish homes that do not have Barak’s required signature for approval but ignores thousands of illegal Arabs structures. The High Court also has questioned whether the government is illegally discriminating against Jews. The Civil Administration has come up with a way to solve the problem with one stroke of the pen and is preparing documents that would make the buildings legal in “Area C,” which is defined in the Oslo Accords as being under full control of Israel. The new policy will affect contiguous areas that cover thousands of structures and is intended not to damage the “peace process” or hinder security, sources told Army Radio. Legalizing illegal Arab homes could be the death knell to most Israeli communities outside the major population centers of Ariel, Gush Etzion and Maaleh Adumim. A policy of “benign neglect” has allowed Arabs, often escorted or led by foreign leftists, to uproot farms planted by Jews and take over land without interference by the police. .....

I thought the Mandate was over.

Seems as though Israel wants to commit national suicide too.

So it would seem. This has got to be stopped at all costs.

Area C, under full Israeli control but much of it land to be returned to the barbarians under both rejected offers, Camp David and Ohlmert.

IMHO negotiations go nowhere, and are disasterous for Israel on the world stage. Which does matter when there's only 5 or 6 million of you.

Unpopular though it was, I do think Sharon's abandonment of Gaza made sense, though I'm not crazy about how it was effected.

Draw the lines in the West Bank. Build walls where necessary. Withdraw (not likely from 95% as offered) from the territory Israel doesn't want to control for the next century or doesn't need for defence. Not just on the ground, but politically lines need to be drawn. This is ours, non-negotiable, attack our civilians at your own peril.
