Thereby branding the Palestinians as destructive barbarians, and their self-rule government with their ineffective police as abettors to religious and political motivated acts of wanton destruction.
What better picture to present to the world as to the ultimate aim of the Palestinians then burning synagogues and yeshivas.

Amled, the settlements were razed at the request of the Palestinian Authority - they want to construct multi-family dwellings and didn't want single family homes. I'm sure you already knew this, but your post came across as if Israel destroyed the homes to prevent the Palestinians from using Jewish homes, so I wanted to make sure that it was clear to everyone else that it was a Palestinian choice to have the homes razed.
