There's a building boom in many YESHA communities. All the Bibi-Obama threats have just made it all more urgent, and many families and contractors-who have anxiously waiting customers-are trying to make up for lost time. The ten month freeze was awful, antidemocratic, anti-civil rights. The Arabs never stopped building. Only Jewish Israeli citizens go through the bureaucratic maze getting permits etc.
Here are some beautiful sights to see!

I disagree with using the term "anti-democratic". Technically, a government can perform the most evil of actions according to the democratic rules allowed them by law.
However, that doesn't make such a democracy any less tyrannical.
Tyranny against its own Jews is what the government of Israel has employed for years now.
elected on one platform and giving is another...
not that I was surprised
Shalom!
Being as the Torah isn't democratic, using the term has very limited value..
I agree with Hadassa. I should have made that point. What I meant to say was that even in a non-religious society (or a society where democracy is the "religion") which advocates democratic principles, democracy can still wind up as a tool of abuse.
beautiful to behold. jews building israel.
a, amen
shy and Hadassa, of course you're both right
