The divisive and anti-Zionist Peace Now organization continued its tireless efforts to turn Jew against Jew Sunday when it issued a report slamming the government for building what it called "luxury" roads to service the Jewish communities in Samaria and Judea.
While money is being poured into building roads for "just" 250,000 "settlers" (a term Peace Now regards as pejorative and uses derisively), the group alleged Israelis living in "Israel proper" are dying because there are no funds for maintaining their roads.
Peace Now waited for concerns about the high number of fatal road accidents in the country to become a top news item before leveling its latest malicious charges, which are aimed at portraying the settlements as a leech on the body of the state sucking money and benefits from the "good, law-abiding" citizens in the rest of the land.
The Israeli cabinet gave priority to the question of road safety at its weekly-meeting Sunday.
Peace Now is actually indirectly responsible for the situation as it is as a result of the self-hating group's pushing for Israel's ultimate withdrawal from Samaria and Judea that the government has had to increase its spending on transportation infrastructure in these areas so as to provide security roads and bypass roads for the Jews who live there.
