**To give you a small insight into the absurdities are taking place everyday in Judea and Samaria, we have the example of the Hazon David Synagogue which was destroyed by workers of the Israel Civil Administration last night.
Originally built in 2001 to honor two Israelis, David Hacohen and Chezi Muallem, who were brutally murdered at the entrance to Kiryat Arba near Hebron by Palestinian terrorists, the synagogue just outside Kiryat Arba has long been deemed “illegal” by the Israeli government.
It has been destroyed 33 times by agents of the Civil Administration.
33 times.
And, obviously, each time it has been destroyed, it has been rebuilt.
This is the absurdity of Judea and Samaria. Palestinians have built thousands and thousands of illegal structures in the area, and nobody does anyone about them. Jews build 1 structure deemed to be illegal, and the Civil Administration destroys it.
You can guess what happened last night.
Dozens of residents of Kiryat Arba went to the site of the Hazon David synagogue and began to build it again, for the 34th time.

Anyone who has ever traveled down to Israel’s beautiful Red Sea port of Eilat along the Arava Highway cannot help but be struck by the lack of any real border fence between Israel and Jordan. In some places, one may find some section of barbed wire fence, but in most places, the border is more or less open.
Engineers inspect a section of the Israel-Jordan border fence (picture: wiki).
This is a critical problem for several reasons.

First, it is easy for Palestinian terrorists to infiltrate into the country. And if Palestinian terrorists are not bad enough, we now have IS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Iran closing in on Jordan as well. We might well ask ourselves how long it will be until they too are crossing the border into Israel.
Second, following the creation of the Sinai/Negev border fence between Egypt and Israel which effectively stopped “economic infiltrators” from entering the country, the same type of infiltrators are now turning to the Jordan route. The number of such infiltrators remains a trickle, but how soon will it become a flood?
On Monday night near Yotvata (about 40 km north of Eilat), the IDF chased down and captured two Turkish citizens who claimed that they had entered Israel from Jordan in order to find work. They were turned over to the Israel Police to determine if that was true–or if these two were terrorists intending to carry out attacks against Israelis.
In an astonishing admission following the capture of the Turks, the IDF said:
“This time the military was able to capture the infiltrators, but seven similar cases have occurred in recent months in which we were unable to capture the infiltrators and they entered Israel.”
Say what? How does the IDF know there were 7 infiltrators? Why couldn’t they capture the infiltrators? Where in the world are the infiltrators now?
The Jordanian border is the last major unprotected border that Israel shares. Despite the fact that it will cost more than a billion shekels to construct a protection fence, the Israeli government must ask immediately to address the problem.
