    One final comment. Everything that happens is from HASHEM! Even the creation of Israel as a State…and it’s Hashem’s business if he used non-religious Jews to accomplish this. Perhaps it’s to teach us that every Jew does some type of mitzvah, even if it’s not intentionally. And some Jews have even become religious after experiencing something like BEING A HOSTAGE or being exposed to good frum people willing to accept them and share a bit of Yiddishkeit with them. For example, I have seen non-observant Jews involved in helping someone, giving money to charity, or fighting in the IDF/defending the land of Israel and the Jewish people, which in itself is such a “mersert nefesh” and brings huge reward to this person. WE cannot know what is in the heart of a person or what happened in someone’s life. Therefore, WE should leave JUDGEMENT to Hashem. Our Holy Temple was destroyed by Sinat Chinam. Let us change this NOW! Let’s open our hearts to caring about and respecting every Jew. Even if, for some reason, you don’t want to come to Israel or believe in its legitimacy, know that there are manay many pure neshamas living in the Holyland. We should never speak badly about anyone living in Israel or the land for any reason because it is forbidden! LET’S BRING MOSSIACH BY CHANGING OUR ATTITUDES TO LOVING OUR FELLOW JEW!

    It says hundreds of times in the Torah that Israel is a gift from G-d to Israel, and we say it a few times in every davening and in the Shma. At least 10 times a day, we talk about Israel, and we daven to bring every Jew back to Israel, so at this point, we are back with millions of Jews! We also daven to destroy all the evil people, but calling all the people in Israel, especially so many very frum people like myself, who are willing to risk our lives as well as sacrifice material comforts only because G-d said it’s our gift, is absolutely wrong and evil.
    Any reasonable Jew can understand this by reading the Bible. One should be ashamed to suggest refusing the gift of G-d! Certainly, all the good people of Israel don’t deserve criticism for not being able to make everyone follow the Torah, but as Torah Jews, we not only influence others to keep the Torah but are slowly transforming Israel into a Torah State as more religious Jews join us.

    Thank you for your apology. It’s really not for myself, but for every “settler.” You’re forgiven. As far as your statement: there’s no easy solution, I disagree. The answer is simple. Come join us in Israel, and take what is our gift and inheritance from Hashem! The are around 1 million Jews living over the Green line. We’re winning! Be a part of this!

    There is a positive mitzva to conquer the land and settle it in every generation. We are fortunate that at this time, there are probably 1 million Jews living over the Green line, so how can we call this idolatry? Maybe you’re not aware, but now there is quite a bit of antisemitism going on around the world, including NY. I live in Betar Ilit, a Torah city of over 80,000 Jews. Are we all idolaters because we live here?

    I want you to know that I am sooooo soo hurt by this topic “SETTLERS ARE RODFIM” because I am a very proud “settler!” During my over 33 years living over the Green line, my family and I have been in several Arab Terrorist attacks. And yet, we are still here because we believe this is our land, it is holy and precious, and needs to be lived on by Jews! So we’re here. At the very least, Jews outside of Israel SHOULD NEVER REFER TO US AS SETTLERS! It’s offensive. We are inheritors of the land, and we invite you all to join us.

    The Title of this post is Settlers are RODFIM! That’s like saying all people in Boro Park are evil. G-d forbid! It implies that this title applies to ALL PEOPLE living over the Green line. But in this case, we didn’t even guy our INNOCENT fellow Jew before being quick to condemn him. Even so, as I said, many Jews are extremely frustrated at the ongoing murderous ARAB TERRORISM. Therefore, it’s time that we, as a Jewish people, should support and stand up for each other!

    Firstly, I’d like to make something clear since I am a Hareidi 67-year-old wife, grandmother, and “SETTLER” LIVING OVER THE GREEN LINE FOR OVER 33 YEARS! This conversation is absolutely terrible and VERY VERY MEAN/FORBIDDEN TO SAY ABOUT YOUR FELLOW JEW who is doing Mesert Nefesh by living in a part of Israel which protects it and develops the land which is ours!! There is no violent “settler” movement that I know of going on there in all the years I lived here. IF and I mean IF a few guys engaged in violence against Arabs, you can bet they had a good reason (although I do not encourage people to break the law) because the fact is that Arab terrorist attacks and lots of murder against Jews LIVING OVER THE GREEN Line have been ongoing since before I lived here. We’re dealing with many evil goyim, make no mistake, and THIS LAND IS OURS! To quote Arutz 7:

    Once again, we are witnessing videos that serve the “settler violence” campaign-a campaign that raises its head whenever the left identifies an opportunity for diplomatic pressure that could lead to further Israeli withdrawals. BLOOD LIBEL! The purpose of the blood-libel campaign against the Jews living in Judea and Samaria (labeled in English “settlers” but who really should be called “inheritors of the land”) is to serve as a tool in the hands of those demanding their uprooting and expulsion from Judea and Samaria and the establishment of an Arab terror state in the heart of our land.
    I highly enourage all of you who have said nasty things about “settlers,” you fellow Jews to learn the laws of Loshen Hora and start caring about each and every Jew if you really want Mossiach to ever come.

    I think there is a very serious issue here. I myself have witnessed unusual situations being hosted at isolated Chabad houses in the US. It got to a point that I thought better to be by myself.
