Abu Omri is dismantling the Zionist project
The phenomenon about which AP reports below may be one of the unintended consequences of the Deportation, or it may be the exact consequence Abu Omri planned for. Either way, it is becoming a fact:
Settlers Ask Israel to Buy Their Houses
West Bank settlers whose communities lie outside Israel's separation barrier are asking the government to buy their houses so they can move back to Israel.
The settlers say the barrier, coupled with Israel's withdrawal from 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip and four in the West Bank, signals the death knell for their communities, too. They would rather leave now than spend years living in fear and uncertainty.
"I know that in one or two years, there will be a knock on the door and they will say they are taking me out in withdrawal No. 2 or 3," settler Benny Raz said Sunday. "I don't want to wait."
Raz and other settlers have formed the "One Home" movement to seek government compensation for their homes.
Settlers like Raz are raising an issue that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has carefully avoided so far in pushing his plan of "disengagement" from the Palestinians - what will happen to some 80,000 Israelis in dozens of communities on what has become the "Palestinian" side of the barrier.
Thus is Israel betrayed. Thus is the Zionist project being dismantled.

Your "Zionist project" and mine are different. We can focus on the original borders of the Israeli state, and get back to the original goals of building a democratic society with a definite Jewish character, not the other way around.

I do not recall that the state of israel has original borders, but only cease fire lines.the land of israel does have original borders though. Please define what you consider best defines the term democratic? Please define what you define as jewish character?

Itzik, wake up and smell the roses. If you live in Israel, then leave it and go back to the liberal Jews in America. If you live elsewhere, stay there.
