If we have to choose between living in an Eretz Yisrael in which institutions that discriminate against gays (by teaching that their behavior is wrong) are closed down, in which a person who loses a job for not working Shabbos is considered to be voluntarily unemployed, in which all the frum men and women are drafted in a secular army, etc. – you might prefer to cut a deal with the Arabs, and some day we might have to (if we want to preserve a Torah-oriented yishuv). We shouldn’t be burning bridges.

The Jews in the West Bank should try to act more civil towards the Arabs. Trashing trees is dubious halachically, and if history is a guide, we might sometime (again) be seeking to live peacefully with the Muslims, so why make it harder by harassing them.
BTW where do u get your news from? AL-azare which shows videos of uprooted olive trees by west bank settlers THAT were videoed after the Arab themselves uprooted the trees, just to bring lies to the EU & media. AND the Muslims of today are not the Muslims of the past.

To those who will comment that the Arabs are mortal enemies, I note that our dispute with the Palestinians is basically one of Dinei Mamonos (who owns what, who owes what, etc), whereas our dispute with the Hiloni Jews is over matters such as Avodah Zarah, Gilui Ariyos, and even whether there is creator and whether Torah is min-ha-Shamayim. We should be able to negotiate with the Arabs, only a apikores thinks we can compromise with the Hilonim.

Pre-emptive expulsion from their homes for 3 months because of what they MIGHT do?!? If that’s the way the Israeli police operate, they surely have a basis for throwing most arabs out of Israel because of terrorist acts they MIGHT do!!!

It would be nice if the IDF would employ this method on terrorists.
