Israel Explains Away New Yishuv Following Harsh US Response


1Israel announced a new yishuv in the Shomron, in the Gush Shilo area, which prompted the usual harsh responses from the UN, White House, US State Department and international community. The US State Department did not miss a beat, warning such unilateral actions by Israel do not serve to advance peace efforts in the region, the same mantra that has been heard over the past decades, as if the presence of yishuvim cause Arab terrorism and compel the PA (Palestinian Authority) to act as it does, educating its children to hate Jews and the State of Israel.

The outcry pertains to 98 housing units which are scheduled to be constructed on state land to serve the residents of Amona, who are scheduled to soon be evicted from their home near Ofra as a result of a High Court of Justice ruling.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry was quick to explain the new homes are being constructed inside the municipal boundaries of Shilo and this is not a new community. The statement highlights Israel’s ongoing commitment to the so-called two-state solution, the establishment of the State of Palestine aside Israel.

  1. Israel should not explain anything to anyone where Jews can live in Eretz Ysroel. It is not Obama’s business, he is the last person Israel should pay any attention to, especially after arming and financing Iran in order to wipe out Yidden.

  2. So there’s no peace in Syria or in Gaza because of a few new buildings that Israel is building, aha! Why don’t we hear from Obama about the thousands killed in Syria?
