Why should Jews have to move from their homes? They have not moved the Arabs and the Arabs are killers. Why should innocent Jews have to move from the Hebron hills? After all, the Jews have lived there for thousands of years and the Arabs all showed up 600 years ago in an invasion. Perhaps Israel should invade and claim the land so they could have the same rights as the Arabs?

The settlers in Hebron are basically squatters. The Arabs have lived there for at least 1,400 years (and took the land from Christians, who got it more or less by default from the Romans).

Once there's a Palestinian state, I would expect Israel to demand that Jews have the same rights there that Arabs have in Israel. But the conditions right now make peace impossible. The settlers, a bunch as disruptive as any Palestinian mob not packing explosives, actually have more privileges than the Arabs. Would they be locked in their houses in order to protect an Arab march?

By the way, Ha'aretz is even more critical of the settler mob than the J-Post was.
