The Israel Defense Forces has issued an expropriation order for land in the West Bank village of Ein Yabrud, so that settlers from the nearby Amona outpost can continue using a road that crosses the land.
The 6.4-dunam (slightly over an acre) plot is owned by Palestinians. The road, like Amona itself, was built without a permit.
Last summer, after the High Court of Justice heard at length a petition filed by the Yesh Din human rights organization on behalf of the landowners, part of the road was destroyed. A new access road was rebuilt along what had been a public road when the Jordanians controlled the West Bank, from 1948 to 1967.
But the new road was just four meters wide, and a sharp curve made it nearly impassable to buses. Last winter, settlers began widening the road without authorization, so that it again encroached on private Palestinian land.
The state said it would try to stop the illegal roadwork, and the cabinet secretary instructed a team of transportation experts to find a legal solution to the problem of access to Amona, itself an unauthorized outpost that was built illegally on private Palestinian land. The experts were unable to provide such a solution, given the absence of either land rights or a zoning plan in the relevant area.
That led to a decision to expropriate, for military use, the land on which the original access road was built. The order was secretly issued by GOC Central Command Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon in May, but the Palestinians learned of it only in July.

Hi, Hitler!

That escalated quickly. And weirdly.
Oh my God a road! Kill all the Jews!
The horrors.

They should just establish some Palestinian reservations and give 'em a few casinos. Maybe that'll keep them quiet.
Moke - Oh my God a road! Kill all the Jews!What is wrong with you? If I were with you in a group and you responded with this, I would cringe and shake my head. You are forgoing the process of thought and conversation for the purpose of betterment in favor of ignorance and contempt, which you haw somehow been convinced is for a good cause.

Palestinian casinos would never work. All the slot machine cherries would be replaced with bombs. You get three in a row and the machine suicide bombs you. You can only lose so many customers that way before it hurts your business.
Here's Hired Gun to add a touch of retardation to the conversation - thanks for that!
