MIDEAST-ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS-SETTLERS
Right-wing Jewish settlers use stones to build a shelter as they gather on the grounds of the former Jewish settlement of Homesh, in the Israeli occupied Palestinian West Bank, close to the northern city of Nablus, 27 March 2007. Hundreds of right-wing Jewish settlers arrived yesterday planning to reoccupy the West Bank settlement cleared in August 2005 as part of Israel's so-called disengagement plan. Homesh was established as a military outpost in 1978 but turned over to settlers in 1980. Many of its inhabitants were pious and militant zealots who believed they were doing God's work resettling their Biblical homeland of Samaria. Under the now stalled internationally drafted roadmap plan for peace in the Middle East, Israel was to freeze settlement expansion, but is today building more than 3,000 housing units in the occupied West Bank, according to the Israeli watchdog group Peace Now.
