No, please stop. Now.

Ok, so where do we even begin here? It should be already known that the settlers are not my favorite group of people here in Israel, in fact I lay much of the blame on them as to why the cause of peace isn't being further advanced on our end. Openly admitting to not being interested in a two-state solution and believing that maintaining Israeli control over Palestinian territories forever is a plausible plan for the future just doesn't add up to a very practical option. In fact, it seems quite messianic and insane, and more so, a recipe for the dissolution of Israel as a Jewish State.

What's just as frightening though is that in recent years, similar extreme views that used to be voiced by the fringe of the Israeli right are now being given greater credence than ever today. The emergence of populist figures like Naftali Bennett and his party Ha'Bayit Ha'Yehudi, as well as a new rejectionist front in Likud led by up and coming Knesset members like Danny Danon and Tzipi Hotovely are all indications that a new tide is turning. And despite their talking points, it's not turning towards a direction that will help Israel in the long run. I can only hope that somehow it gets hammered in, that like it or not, the two-state solution is the only game in town, and that sooner rather than later this is realized before it's too late.

And lastly, I think the settlers have been responsible for enough bullshit, they don't have to start taking bad pop songs and making them even worse. This is just wrong in every single way.
