Bethlehem - Ma'an/Agencies - Israeli settlers established a new illegal West Bank outpost on Thursday, dedicating it partly to US President Barack Obama.

The settlers, calling themselves the "Land of Israel Loyalists," named the outpost Oz Yehonatan, near Binyamin, but were calling part of it the "Obama Hut," according to the Israeli news agency Ynet.

And according to a report from Israel's Arutz Sheva news agency, the outpost was named "in recognition of the president’s actions, which have led to a dramatic increase in the number of outposts being built throughout Judea and Samaria ."

Meanwhile on Thursday, Obama firmly rejected Israeli settlements built on seized Palestinian land in the West Bank. "The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements." "This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop."

New outpost established in West Bank


The "Land of Israel Loyalists" movement established a new West Bank outpost, called Oz Yehonatan, in the Binyamin region.


The outpost includes a wooden structure dubbed "Obama Hut." The youngsters who built the outpost said it is a "gesture of appreciation" for the US president, whose actions prompted a dramatic rise in the number of outposts.

1. How childish.

Are these adults? Why are Americans footing the bill for this nonsense? What if we want our tax dollars to go to "Palestine" instead?

2. more...

...One of the activists said of Obama, "He's an Arab Muslim and a gentile, he is fighting against the Jewish people and has declared that he will continue to do so. We already stated our intention to continue to build, no matter who is fighting us - Egypt, Germany or the US."

Among the 200 activists that gathered at the Maoz Esther site was Hebron-Kiryat Arba Chief Rabbi Dov Lior, who explained why peace was impossible in the Middle East.

"It's all illusions. With these savages, there was never peace, there is no peace and there will not be peace," he said. "It's not because we don't want it, but because they are enemies of peace. We just have to hope that our entire country is cleared of terrorists, their supporters, their backers and their camels. They should all be sent to Saudi Arabia."

National Union MK Michael Ben-Ari voiced his support for the settlers' actions saying the West Bank's Jewish communities were an established fact that could not be changed.

"Obama, in his audacity, dreams that 350,000 Jews can be removed from Judea and Samaria, but they are a fact that cannot be changed," he was quoted by Army Radio as saying.

21. How is it that those whose parents and grandparents survived the Holocaust

...can turn into something resembling those who caused it? :evilfrown:

29. When will

the sane americans stand up and say enough is enough,stop supporting the insane policies of the nuts over there(nutty ya ho) and his backers in this country,especially our congress.

[Karenina]

3. What no one has mentioned

is that the Palestinian's "natural growth" is met by a refusal to issue building permits and should they DARE erect a hut to accommodate THEIR expanding needs, that "PERMIT" REFUSAL allows the Israeli gubmint to BULLDOZE THEIR HOMES AND CONFISCATE THEIR LAND.

4. Exactly, thank you

5. It's going to take more than words to deal with the hard liners....

I'm assuming that the administration recognizes that and is prepared to follow through with concrete action.

[ClarkUSA]

6. Wow. The right-wing nuts over there are as crazy and obnoxious as teabaggers here.

[Jennicut]

14. Perhaps we should have them all get on a space shuttle and colonize the moon

or something. Since none of them apparently respect what the majority of the world wants, they should have their own "nation", as far away as possible from the rest of humanity. Sigh, I wish.

[ClarkUSA]

15. Wouldn't that be nice? Only I'd want them farther away... like one of Jupiter's moons.

;)

[cali]

17. the moon would swiftly become crowded

with the wingnuts from many nations.

22. White supremacists mixed with crazy jews?

7. please update headline to "Israeli RW Extremists"

13. after Gaza, Settlers have to know their efforts are futile

eventually sane Israelis will abandon the settlements to their suicide mission.

[Sebastian Doyle]

28. Sane Israelis

wouldn't be "settlers" in the first place.

18. Do they serve BBQ at the Obama Hut?

Hells... Judea sounds like a Jewish Texas.
No wonder AIPACers and Cheneyoids get along so well...

[Odin2005]

24. Better headline "God-Botherers God-Spam illegal settlements to spite US President..."

Childish nut-jobs worshiping a fairy-tale character.

27. Dumb behavior

Not smart at all.

[boppers]

30. FYI: "Judea and Samaria" is code for "we own all this land, so it can't be contested""

Geneva conventions mean nothing to them, and they have no fear of being prosecuted for their war crimes.

Saddam called it "reunification". Hitler called it "liebensraum". Americans called it "manifest destiny".

It's all the same thing, really.

[northernlights]

31. keep it up, stoopids

Keep pushing and maybe, just maybe, President Obama will put *our* money where his mouth is.

Why, again, do we give these people billions of our tax dollars every year?

Seriously, with friends like these, who the hell needs enemies?
