Pali Arabs: living well and high off the jiziya

Some observations on Samaria

From the Elder of Ziyon:

Mrs. Elder and I were treated to a really interesting taxi driver, one of the very few Israeli cab drivers who willingly drives to the settlements on the “wrong” side of the separation fence.

Like most taxi drivers, Avinoam happily comments freely on everything. He made a couple of very simple and cogent points.

Here is a picture of an Arab village, one of many that dot the highway:
Click on it to see how beautiful some of the houses are, really more mansions. Indeed, assuming my driver was correct, this enormous and gorgeous building is a single-family house:We saw dozens of these beautiful, huge mansions – and that was just what was visible from the highway.

These villages and towns were interspersed among many Jewish villages and towns, the type that the world media and politicians are fixated on as being “obstacles to peace.”

After seeing many similar sights, it is very difficult to believe that the Jewish settlements are hurting the Arab economy one iota. (Avinoam was a bit more blunt, and colorful, in his descriptions.)

Some of the Jewish towns are quite attractive as well. We briefly visited Ariel, which is a simply beautiful community with an impressive recreation center (partially funded by Christian Zionists.) None of them have houses that approach the opulence of the Arab mansions we could see, but they do have impressive infrastructures, many with beautiful schools and playgrounds.

There is one glaring difference between the Jewish communities and the Arab communities, though. The Arab communities are quite open, while most of the settlements are fenced in with serious security in place. (h/t Batya for the clarification, Shiloh does not have a fence.)
Note that in comparison to the Arabs ostentatious palaces the Jews live in modest little houses…
If the existence of Jews in Samaria are such a danger to the Arabs, then why aren’t the Arab communities fenced in to protect them from the Jews rather than vice versa?

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Reminds me of Hadrian’s Wall in Britain, built to keep the Scotts from invading.
The Jews aren’t the treat as can be seen in the photos. It is the other way around. Why can’t the “Left-thinkers” see this?

The architecture is a combination of typical “bad taste islam” and “bad taste arab”. It is difficult to signature one as being more repulsive than the other. That notwithstanding – the palis are doing well for a group who have supposedly had a holocaust imposed upon them by Israel. Oh the MSM – they make very good building material.
