Actions to finally have consequences?
First, Defense Minister Moshe Boogie Yaalon (Likud) had some very blunt words about the Oslo Accords.
“In an hour, we will bury a soldier who was murdered by a Palestinian so that his body could be traded and a terrorist could be released from jail,” Ya’alon told Christian lawmakers from around the world at the Israel Allies Foundation’s Jerusalem Chairman’s Conference in the capital.
“This is a tactic that, unfortunately, has been used in the past. 1,500 Israelis were killed after Israel signed a peace accord with the Palestinians. These are the fruits of peace,” he added.
Ya’alon expressed skepticism about the current round of peace talks, calling it “another political process our allies think will bring peace.”Economy Minister Naftali Bennett joined in.
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett addressed the same conference, saying that “people who throw soldiers into pits” are not partners for peace.
“They destroy, we build. They kill, we grow. That was always the State of Israel’s response to terrorism.”
“We aren’t accepted by those who surround us, and they resort to terror,” he added. “This has been going on for a long time.”And even Prime Minister Netanyahu might be starting to get the idea.
Hebron Jews can move into a building next to the spot where a Palestinian sniper killed an Israeli soldier on Sunday evening, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said just hours after the attack in a statement that spoke of the need to fight terror and support West Bank settlements.
His decision expands the Jewish areas of the West Bank city, and allows an Israeli civilian presence in a Palestinian neighborhood next to the Cave of the Patriarchs.
...
Just past midnight, Netanyahu said, “Those who attempt to uproot us from the city of our forefathers will achieve the opposite effect. We will continue on one hand to fight terror and to harm terrorists and on the other hand to strengthen settlements.”
Hebron’s Jewish community had purchased a three-story building across from the Cave of the Patriarchs, known as Beit Hamachpela, and moved at the end of March 2012. The IDF forcibly evicted them on April 4, because their purchase documents had not been authenticated and they lacked a purchase permit.
In July of this year, a military appeals court validated their purchase of the structure, which abuts a Palestinian school and borders a section of the city under Palestinian Authority control. Palestinians live in a small section of the building, which was not purchased by settlers.
But in spite of their court victory, the Hebron families were still barred from moving into their property, because they lacked a final signature of approval from Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon.
It is now expected that this signature will be forthcoming.Hmmm.

That means that with the raising of his royal scepter, Netanyahu could have permitted this from day 1.
And this is true throughout Yehuda and Shomron and has been so for decades.
Our problem is first and foremost the Israelis. Then it's the Arabs.
A purge is needed.
