It's enough to make you sick

Once again, the Israeli government has decided to destroy Jewish houses purely for political reasons.
All talk of law and order is just a big smokescreen to distract from the real reason. If law and order was the only thing that motivated these people then they would also be busy demolishing all the illegal Arab building that is going on.

But as before, the media acts as the smoke generator for the law and order cover story rather then clearing the air about what really goes on.
By reading or listening to the general Israeli media you would have thought that all the Police violence yesterday was caused by the cops having to defend themselves rather then them coming in swinging as the following story from the Arutz 7 email news report describes:

"We were outside the 5th house, with the goal of forming a line to stop the police from climbing into the windows. We had planned in advance, because of modesty and the like, that when the police would tell us to go, we would go right away. But they didn't let us. They just set upon us - all of them: Yasamnikim, Border Guard, soldiers, everyone - and didn't give us a chance. I screamed, 'I'm going by myself!' but they didn't care; I heard them saying, 'Smack them! Get them!' They hit me with a club on my leg, and then they pushed me to the ground and smashed me with clubs twice more - once on my face, right near my eye. Miraculously, he didn't hit me on the skull; I saw others right near me bleeding from their heads, unconscious - it was just terrible... It was just by miracle that nothing worse happened to me."

Someone commented to me that it's enough to make him want to join Neturei Karta. I am not sure if I agree 100%, but I can understand the sentiment.
