Israeli Protestors Vie With Teabaggers For Coveted "Dumbest Protest" Trophy

The Tea Party Ultra-Patriots thought they were the only ones who still know how to have fun- but now there's another challenger in the ring. Meet the 10,000 West Bank settlement protesters, who "filled part of downtown Jerusalem Wednesday, listening to fiery speeches, dancing in circles and pledging to defy a building ban imposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu." From the article:
Settler leader Dani Dayan complained, "Not one Jewish home can be built now."
Man if only there was a country in the area that had explicitly engaged in ethnic cleansing so that there would be plenty of room for Jewish homes... Wouldn't that be nice?
"I think this is a violation of people's basic rights if they can't build homes on their own property," said Jamie Levavi, a 25-year-old settler originally from Cleveland, Ohio.
Hahaha "their own property," nice. I'm going to start building a pool house in my next-door neighbors yard, he better not violate my basic human rights by stopping me. Israeli psychopath and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman chimed in on the issue:
"If someone came to you and froze construction on your house while you were building it, you would also object," he told Israel Radio.
"I mean, unless you're constructing your house in the Bantustan thrown together for the people who were kicked out of their original homes by your own ancestors, then you'd have to be some sort of enormous dick to even think about it in the first place, right?" he continued. The article mentions that some Israelis aren't amused by the protests:
The Israeli settlement watchdog group Peace Now also cast new doubts on the building freeze, saying that building in the West Bank continues to take place at a greater pace than elsewhere in Israel.

"Beyond the political dispute going on around the settlements, the argument of the settlers that they are discriminated against is simply not true," said Peace Now leader Yariv Oppenheimer.
This wouldn't be the first time Israel made a big deal about halting/dismantling some settlements while establishing/enlarging others at the same time. The article ends it with this awesome quote by some terrifyingly crazy Israeli:
"We want to show the world that there is opposition and we are willing to fight," said Joab Tzarum, 49. "We want peace, but not peace at any price. Not peace in the form of a noose. This freeze is a noose for the land of Israel and the people of Israel."
"Stop us from infringing on Palestinian territory for the three billionth time? You may as well just hang the entire country! ISRAEL NEEDS LEBENSRAUM!"
