If you needed another reason to support the “settlements”, I just found it. George Soros (Obama’s “Rove”) is clandestinely working overtime to destroy them!
The Soros created International Crisis Group (ICG), a think tank staffed with people such as anti-Israel Samantha Power who once called for a US invasion of Israel to impose a solution to the Palestinian issue (and since moved into the administration), Zbigniew (the Jews are the Problem with the world) Brzezinski and Robert Malley.

Recently the ICG has issued a report to assist President Obama craft his policy on how to most effectivly destroy Israeli “settlements”. Soros’ classless organization even went as far as sneaking into Israeli Synagogues, and dressing up as religious people to spy on the Jews there.

(IsraelNN.com) The International Crisis Group, an investigative think tank connected to billionaire George Soros, has issued a report on the current influence of the religious Zionist movement and ways in which its opposition to further Israeli retreats can be overcome. Soros, who was a major contributor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and who is vehemently opposed to the “Israel lobby” in the United States, is a member of the Crisis Group’s executive committee.
After conducting extensive research in Israel, including dozens of interviews with Jewish leaders, senior and junior officials, rabbis, military men, residents of Judea and Samaria and many others, the group’s analysts concluded that the government needs to “rein in” the “settlerment enterprise” and stop showing “lenience toward anti-Palestinian violence or hateful incitement, especially with a religious content.”
However, they also note that Israel’s religious right has “deep roots,” and that “even its most militant expression cannot be dealt with exclusively through confrontation.”
Advocating what some may see as a divide-and-rule approach to the religious Zionists, the report’s authors believe that the religious right’s opposition to further Israeli pullouts can be minimized if an agreement reached between Israel and Arabs marks exactly where the border between Israel and the PA will pass, thus making it clear which communities can keep on growing and which are on the chopping block.
The report also warns of a drift by ultra-orthodox Jews towards nationalistic positions, and recommends that the United States and other “foreign actors” attempt to woo ultra-Orthodox parties like Shas and United Torah Judaism by involving them in the diplomatic process.

I guess President Obama’s policy of “not interfering in other Countrie’s internal affairs” (see: Iran) does not apply to working up an active policy of weakening Israel.

(*UPDATE: 2:15 p.m. PST by WrathofG-d): It probably won’t surprise anyone, but ICG is hardly “unbiased” and actually presents itself to the Arab-Israel conflict having already accepted the Arab narrative, and arguments as fact regarding “settlements”, Israel’s security, Jerusalem, giving land to Syria, creating a “Palestinian State”, and appeasing Lebanon.
1. Crisis Group’s Middle East Initiative
On 22 September 2006, the International Crisis Group launched a new global advocacy initiative designed to generate new political momentum for a comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Major funding support for the project — to cost around US$400,000 in its first year — was announced at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York.
Crisis Group’s Initiative was designed to help fill the present policy vacuum, stem the slide toward greater instability, and provide a viable alternative for moderates in the region on both the Israeli and Arab sides. The goal, or political horizon, must be unambiguously stated as security and full recognition to the state of Israel within internationally recognised borders — along with an end to the occupation for the Palestinian people in an independent, sovereign state with East Jerusalem as its capital, recovery of lost land to Syria, and a fully sovereign and secure Lebanese state.
Further details of Crisis Group’s Middle East Initiative, including the full text of the document and list of signatories, can be found on our Middle East Initiative page.
