1. The first step in building a new neighborhood, it seems, is getting judicial approval, that is stated cannot EVER, by any court, be rescinded.
   It is so sad, in human terms and economic, as well, to see a house almost built and then destroyed, even worse when people already live there.
   All these comings and goings(and other, soon to be realized(G-d forbid) events) have in them one primary cause JUDICIAL OVERREACH, something that a DEMOCRACY should NOT TOLERATE.
   Many frum Yidden are not going to realize it until it’s on their own doorstep, whether either in Eretz HaKodesh os in Chutz. (G-d forbid.)

2. ה’ ירחם

3. ANOTHER “GUSH KATIF” .. SADLY , THE ISRAELI ESTABLISHMENT HAS NOT LEARNED THE LEESON FROM THE PRIOR DISASTER OF BGUSH KATIF!!!!!!!!!!!

4. While settling Eretz Yisroel is a mitzva, the settlers have made it into an Avoda Zara that overrides all other halochos including theft, chillul hashem, pikuach nefesh, and shabbos as well as others.

5. This is another digraceful day that will go down in infamy in Israel’s sorry History. The secular, G-d denying atheist’s that currently rule over the CORRUPT kangaroo courts, must be thrown out. The Arabs don’t have to fire a single shot. Just give it a little more time and Israel will self destruct!

6. Re comment no. 3: I half agree with you. Someone has not learned the lessons of the Gush Katif evacuation. But I think it is frum settlers who ignore the rule of the law of the secular country they live in. When Hashem is ready to restore the Jews to Eretz Yisrael, He will do so. Until then, we must respect the secular law of wherever we live.

7. It is really sad to see this again. The government should work together with the people so that this devastating destruction should never happen again.

8. The land was built on privately owned land, and the owner objected from the beginning. In the US this wouldn’t happen since the developer could not start work until he was sure he could deliver an insurable title, and any title of check would have shown it was not owned by the people building the houses. In Israel, those building the houses wrongly assumed the government would confiscate the land and sell it to them (in all fairness, had Bayit Yehudi gotting 61 seats in the last election, that would have happened – but they didn’t).

9. It is a shame that some people state as facts, untruths.
   Who is this “owner/”
   Someone who European or American sponsored NGOs paid to come forward and make an unprovable (because it’s false) claim?

   At the present time, most US courts do apply justice, especially in clear cut cases such as land ownership. Din malcus din applies in lands where a degree of justice applies.
   But is one commanded to follow a dictatorship which provides unequal distribution of “justice” to it’s residents? Should not a G-d fearing person protest against such injustice?
   What if the “justice”is directed such as to thwart people of the opportunity to do a mitzvah, directed against Torah?
   The courts in Israel are not chosen by a democratic system of government in Israel, they are akin to an “good ole’ boys” system.
   Is there ANY comparison to the present American system of justice?

   But if any indication of current US Supreme Court trends:
   don’t fret, coming soon to a theater near you.
