Report: Israel hands abandoned army base to settlers
Published Friday 04/05/2012 16:45
TEL AVIV, Israel (Ma'an) -- Israel's army has handed control of an abandoned base to the South Hebron Hills regional council, according to a report in an Israeli newspaper Thursday.

Haaretz reported that the base in Adoraim, at one point an army engineering school, had been deserted for several years until the settler council began remodeling the base.

According to the report, Israel's defense minister Ehud Barak approved a request by the regional council in August 2010, awarding it a license to make use of the structure.

The Civil Administration then extended the license until 2016, Haaretz said.

The report quoted leftist activist Dror Etkes as saying the army had essentially authorized a new outpost, while the Defense Ministry said the structure's purpose is now to provide humanitarian aid.

The Base is in Area C, where the PLO gave Israel full control,
and it is NOT being built, so there is NO problem,
other than PALESTINIANS REFUSING TO NEGOTIATE,
for their statehood, as agreed in Oslo !!!

'The report quoted leftist activist Dror Etkes as saying the army had essentially authorized a new outpost, while the Defense Ministry said the structure's purpose is now to provide humanitarian aid.' Would the Defense Ministry care to speculate on how many Palestinians will be permitted to avail themselves of this 'humanitarian aid'?

'Humanitarian aid'??? Oh well! That's like the Aryan Nazi's providing humanitarian aid to the occupied,enclaved European Jews who weren't deemed to be HUMAN? Ergo now,as Israeli Zionism doesn't consider any native Arab people as human too,(not even their servile proxies)there won't be MUCH 'aid' going to Palestinians,as usual then,will there?
Human-it-Aryan aid only,eh? Israel usually fires missiles,or drops bombs,on humanitarian aid,for non-Jews. Or allows it to ROT!

To Mel #3 ''Humanitarian aid'??? Oh well! That's like the Aryan Nazi's providing humanitarian aid...' Actually, the Nazis established quite a few 'humanitarian aid' centers of this type. All over the 'Warthegau,' for example, and even as far east as Zamosc. They just didn't have the imagination (or the utter dishonesty) to claim they were for 'humanitarian aid.' 'Litzmannstadt' was a big 'humanitarian aid' project of this type.

To Like it #1 'The Base is in Area C, where the PLO gave Israel full control, and it is NOT being built, so there is NO problem...' Other than it being an act of theft and against both international law and accords that Israel herself has signed, no, no problem at all. Is the area in Israel? No. In that case, it is illegal for Israel to give the land to her own citizens to settle. That's all there is to it.
