Israeli Settlers' Controversial Move

Let me show you this.

This is a family.

This guy tweets this out.

We're leaving our luxurious penthouse in Beit Shemesh

and moving to live on an isolated farm

by the Jordan Valley near a hostile Palestinian village.

I'm writing this sentence and still struggling to believe

that it is real.

All my life, I read about Zionism,

about settling the land, about the self-sacrifice of the settlers.

Now we have decided to stop reading the history

and start writing it.

After lots of thoughts, doubts, and late night conversations,

my wife, Esti, and I made a joint and courageous decision

that will change our lives.

Both of us have obtained weapons licenses.

This farm is a real line of containment

that stops the enemy's takeover of areas

of the land of Israel around the village.

When we visited the farm, we realized

that on the site itself there are abandoned structures built by Palestinians.

before the farm owner arrived at the place.

We are coming there to settle the land with our bodies,

to build a home, raise children,

guard the land, and create a reality

that will not allow in the future establishment

of a Palestinian state in the heart of the land of Israel.

We don't know exactly what this path will look like.

We only know that the time has come to set out on it.

Something new is beginning."

Yeah, I hope that the path will lead them

to jail because that's where they belong

if they're gonna go and steal land in an area where they shouldn't be.

If this happened in the United States,

if anybody went and tried to squat on land

that was just in the middle of the U.S.,

well, nobody's building on it, nobody's here, it's ours,

we should have it, and you go to jail

when you do something like that.

I just wanted to show you the absolute insanity of these Israelis.

This is important because we continue to fund them.

Now we're merging our militaries with their money. military

and yet this is the type of stuff that we're actually supporting.
