Collecting-Turnip 🏳️‍🌈: How about they don’t settle and just make better fortifications? Even as strategic points, the settlements are too much trouble to keep safe.

This story is in Hebrew, but still worth your time. Haaretz with a multimedia story on how settlers and settler groups are trying to use Israel's war in Gaza to rebuild Jewish settlments in the strip. www.haaretz.co.il/news/securit...

הצבא כבש רבע מרצועת עזה, הימין נערך להתנחל. כך זה נראהwww.haaretz.co.il תשעה חודשים למלחמה, הצבא השתלט על 26% מרצועת עזה, סלל כבישים והקים בסיסים. הימין הדתי כבר רץ אל המטרה – ייהוד הרצועה

How about they don’t settle and just make better fortifications? Even as strategic points, the settlements are too much trouble to keep safe.

For the settlers, settlement is the point. They have a world view, and it's a key piece of it

Well tough shit, there are more important things to be concerned with than rebuilding settlements.

Which is why even Netanyahu is explicit that Israel doesn't intend to resettle Gaza. He just can't control his own party.
