My sister lives in Betar Illit. I haven't been to Israel in decades (my bad!) but I hope to visit her soon. You're not just a settler, you're a pioneer! Am Israel chai!!
Sorry, bud, the word “settler" is a misnomer. You are not settling the land. You are a returnee. You are returning to the land from which you came.
And legally you are entitled to return to the land.
According to International Law, it is illegal for a foreign power to seize territory from another state. It is illegal to annex that territory. It is illegal to change its laws or character. Jordan did all this in 1948 when it captured Judea, Samaria, and Gaza from the State of Israel.
A state recovering land taken by a belligerent state is according to International Law, liberating its territory and returning it to its sovereign control.
Such was the precedent followed in the cases of:
World War II (20th Century)
• France, Belgium, and the Netherlands: Liberated from German occupation by Allied forces (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and others) between 1944 and 1945. [1]
• The Soviet Union (USSR): Liberated its own territory and Eastern European nations (such as Poland and Czechoslovakia) from German forces. [1]
• China and the Philippines: Liberated from Japanese occupation by local resistance forces and Allied military campaigns. [1]
• Ethiopia: Liberated from Italian occupation by British and Ethiopian patriot forces in 1941.
Post-Cold War and 21st Century
• Kuwait: Liberated from Iraqi occupation in 1991 by an international coalition led by the United States during the Gulf War.
• Croatia: Retook its self-declared breakaway Serb-held regions during Operation Storm in 1995.
• Ukraine: Liberated large areas of Kharkiv and Kherson regions from Russian occupation during counter-offensives in 2022.
Moreover, in no instance were the recovering nations forbidden to station troops to protect against a repeated aggression and to thwart 5th column insurgents intending to undermine the authority and control of the sovereign state. Except one — the Jewish nation when it recovered its territory from Jordan in 1967.
The world labels Judea, Samaria, and Gaza as "Palestinian" land under belligerent occupation.
As the author astutely points out “Then, after 1967, the children of those expelled families came home.
The international community looked at Jews returning to land from which Jews had been violently driven and announced: ‘Illegal settlers.’ ”
International Law, Customary International Law, the UN Charter be damned, the world has no problem with the principle of stolen lands being returned to their rightful owner. Apparently it has a no problem with the principle, only to whom it applies.
“I live in Efrat, among the hills of Judea. Not “the West Bank,””
The name change is significant. Jordan renamed Judea and Samaria,”The West Bank” in 1950 to erase any and all Jewish connection to the territory, again contrary to International Law, Customary International Law, the UN Charter and legal precedent. Revealing where the world really sat with regards to Jews, all and sundry enthusiastically embraced the name change. All and sundry includes most Jews today both within and outside Israel. Every time they do so, they lending legitimacy to the alienation of these lands from Jewish Peoplehood.
“ my supposedly extreme program:
Jewish families should be allowed to live in Judea.”
Revise that to read “Jewish families are by legal, moral, historical and national right entitled to live in the heart of their ancient, ancestral national homeland — Judea.
With you all the way . Israel has defeated the worst individuals that are on this earth, protecting your citizens who deserve justice and a better future without constant violence from Gaza .
We lived in Efrat when we first make Aliya. It was too hard without a car, so we needed a bigger town. But we loved Efrat and the people. Keep writing, Yonah. We love hearing your words.
Years of this now, zero tolerance for the brainwashing and watching the weak 'take a knee' to total bastards, butchers and liars brings nothing but disgust and utter mistrust beyond belief.
Kick ass... hamASS for me stuck in a Diasporic situation.
MAY ALL OUR LANDS... and I mean ALL be returned to us.
Kick out the kapo, reading their newspapers is so political and self hating it is gross. 🤮.
ISRAEL meant to be Religious and Zionist at the core and forever. G-D's design is brilliant ... they think they are right, blatantly expose their ignorance and wickedness, become a bloody gang of-rapists and naziscum and what is left ... right up in our faces...
JEWISH BLOOD is valued by ZIONISTS only. That is right,
vet and kick the suckers out, don't give a hoot about thier judgments born of stupidity,
... for this crap will repeat itself over and over. TAKE NO PRISONERS, reclaim our heritage in full... no 'sharing'
no 'we forgive you'.
They need to get it through their pompousassed heads we are rid of their strings, pulleys and wheels, their poisons and we ain't gonna be kissin' cousins'
who are and never were our kin.
What, they have are 7 Noahide laws ...
whilst we lift the 613 heavy load they can kiss our tuchases....whilst struggling with the seven!
It is just JEW envy these countries of absurdities are plagued with, a pox on their houses and mengele/fauci incarceration demon can go lead the pack of monsters. So many are crippled and suffering iit is going to burst from heaven in a windstorm, in a fury, for what has been done to us, and all shall be held accountable from the HIGHEST COURT, cause Nuremberg did not obliterate JEW haters spreading
the plague.
G-D is the ONLY FORGIVER in core REALITY; HE is THE JUDGE... not man, not nations that care not that JEWISH BLOOD is spilled. Goodnight✨
So refreshing to read truth. I want the world to know everything you wrote. Brilliant.
My sister lives in Betar Illit. I haven't been to Israel in decades (my bad!) but I hope to visit her soon. You're not just a settler, you're a pioneer! Am Israel chai!!
Oh boy, I am loving it! Say it directly to their hateful faces.
Thanks for putting it out there. ❤️
From one Jew to another.

They'll all fall down, one atop the other whilst they try to blow our ashes out of their snooty nostrils and wash our blood from their hands!!!!
Cursed are they🌪️
Thank you for proudly demonstrating that the word ‘Settler’ in Jewish hands, is a beautiful word.
With you all the way . Israel has defeated the worst individuals that are on this earth, protecting your citizens who deserve justice and a better future without constant violence from Gaza .
We lived in Efrat when we first make Aliya. It was too hard without a car, so we needed a bigger town. But we loved Efrat and the people. Keep writing, Yonah. We love hearing your words.
Kol hakavod, Yonah!
