west-bank-settlements: HAVAT GILAD, West Bank - Israeli settler Yehuda Shimon lifts his son Binyamin to pet a horse at the tiny Israeli outpost of Havat Gilad, northeast of Tel-Aviv, on October 7, 2010. "Everyone thinks they are a warrior of the Gods, that is the problem," says Shimon, 45, of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Shimon says that the Israeli government should blow up the Dome of The Rock shrine in Jerusalem, the city where he practices law four days a week.
