    I keep wondering if the folks involved in the settlement process realize that their activity is an obstacle to peace.

    Israel had a chance of attempting friendly relations with a new flavour of Syria (currently being reassembled from pieces, with considerable risk of continued violence). Maybe it still has that chance…

    … but for some reason, Israeli officials made up their mind without talking to the other side - who were publicly saying that they didn’t want hostilities with Israel - and started making hostile moves anyway, like moving troops into the occupied buffer zone and speaking of approving higher settler numbers for the annexed Golan heights.

    I could undertand a few bombing runs on the Assad regime’s strategic weapons stockpiles. But it looks like the government of Israel wants to ruin its relations with the next Syrian government pre-emptively.

    My advise to Jews: detain Netanyahu and send him to the ICC, and get someone competent to run the country. (Or maybe in the other order: get someone competent first and detain Bibi soon after that.)

    They forgot to manufacture consent about defending themselves to do the land grab. No Hamas or Hezbollah in Syria.

    Turns out nobody cares. Israel can Lebensraum whatever it wants. Bufferzone for my buffer zone.

    They did something similar when they arrived the zone last time and started Israel. They have been slaughtering Palestinians since then

    I’m agnostic, but I really, really hope the Abrahamic God is real so these “settler” assholes can get reamed by their holy grumpy toddler.

      Hey now, they’re just settling down, it’s not like settlers have ever wiped out an entire race just to get their land 😳

        If it makes you feel better, often the land that was taken belonged to someone else beforehand.
