Out With the Outpost

Just as I post my thoughts about the progress the world is making, the Israeli Supreme Court rejects the state's attempt at delaying the destruction of a settler outpost built on Palestinian land. Hopefully this signifies a more tightened stance on the legitimacy of these settlements, which I believe are one of the biggest threats to peace in the region. They are a violation of the UN Charter and the UN Security Council Resolutions demanding they be ceased and demolished have been repeatedly vetoed by the US and Israel.

The evacuation deadline for the Migron outpost will be August 1st, so on August 2nd I predict a propagandic news release showing Israeli settlers being dragged away kicking and screaming and their houses bulldozed. In truth, the state had offered to build them new homes, and settlers are offered monetary incentives to move to these settlements, so to me the whole forced evacuation charade seems suspicious.
