House & Home via Jezebel
Almost more interesting because it was found on Jezebel, a culture, fashion and celeb gossip blog. I love it when the cause goes mainstream.

Dozens of Israeli settlers took over the house armed with a court order secured after a protracted legal battle with a Palestinian family, witnesses and police said. embers of the Al-Kurd family demonstrated in front of the house along with other Arab residents and pro-Palestinian activists as the settlers hurled the family’s belongings out onto the street, a neighbour told AFP.

“But who’s afraid of war? That’s to say, who’s afraid of the bombs and the machine-guns? ‘You are’, you say. Yes, I am, and so’s anybody who’s ever seen them. But it isn’t the war that matters, it’s the after-war. The world we’re going down into, the kind of hate-world, slogan-world. The coloured shirts, the barbed wire, the rubber truncheons. The secret cells where the electric light burns night and day, and the detectives watching you while you sleep. And the processions and the posters with enormous faces, and the crowds of a million people all cheering for the Leader till they deafen themselves into thinking that they really worship him, and all the time, underneath, they hate him so that they want to puke. It’s all going to happen.”
