I'm no fan of religion especially islam but what's right and fair is not what Israel is doing. The expansion of settlements is clearly wrong and unlawful. While most countries agree this expansion is wrong it is tolerated by the US with no penalties for Israel. You only have to see some of the news reports to see how people are forcibly removed from their homes and land either to be demolished for a new settlement or even for Israels to move directly into their existing home. It makes me quite angry and if it makes me angry I dread to think how those people feel who are removed. Even a small but significant population of Israel is against the settlements.

Don't get me wrong though I see Israel as a good country, democratic, decent laws (for its own people) and a rare gem in the area but that does not justify its actions with regard expansion of settlements.
