Israeli Cabinet Approves Construction of 22 New Settlements, Some Deep in West Bank

[Nanjeanne]

Israel's government voted two weeks ago to establish 22 new settlements in the West Bank, including the legalization of nine unauthorized outposts. Some of the new settlements are slated for remote areas deep inside the West Bank, such as Mount Ebal, a secluded hill which currently does not have settlements, located between Palestinian villages near Nablus, and Sa-Nur, where a former settlement was dismantled during the 2005 disengagement

The decision also formalizes the Homesh outpost, built on the site of another settlement evacuated in 2005.
The move was promoted by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who also holds a portfolio in the defense ministry, with backing from the ministry's legal advisers.

There’s no hiding from what Israel’s goal is.

2. The only sea Israel is in danger of falling into is the Caspian

3. Yep, once they've emptied Gaza

they'll keep on killing the Palestinians in the West Bank and if a single one of them objects or fights back, they'll use that as an excuse for wholesale slaughter.

4. Frustrating!

I have always been against the settlements in West Bank.
I'm without words seeing this news.

Where is the Israeli opposition to this?
The Left needs to make their voices heard!
The settlers are not Israeli in origin (I believe), but transplants from US Ultra Orthodox communities.

I'm sure that if I send a strongly worded letter to the Israeli government, they'll change that decision.
