Israel to 'dismantle 15 West Bank outposts'

Israel plans to dismantle 15 settlement outposts in line with the US-backed road map to peace.

The military is to present the list of sites to settler leaders and ask that they voluntarily remove the small clusters of trailers from West Bank hilltops, Israeli radio and TV stations say.

If the request is turned down, Israeli troops could begin dismantling the outposts themselves as early as this evening, the reports add.

The Israeli Defence Ministry has declined to comment on the reports.

Settler leader Pinchas Wallerstein says he and his supporters will try to stop any outposts being removed.

"In no shape or form will we co-operate with this evacuation, and we will even fight against this with all our might," he told Israel Army Radio.

Israel has to remove all settlement outposts set up since Sharon came to power in March 2001 - an estimated 70 outposts of nearly 120 established in the last five years in a land grab by settlers.

They are protected by groups of organized thugs, the IDF and Armed Gangs (Settlers) who terrorize and steal from the people who are already living there.

"people who are already living there."



They should have thought of that before they tried to annihilate Israel in '67.

Whoops!

"The thesis that the danger of genocide was hanging over us in June 1967 and that Israel was fighting for its physical existence is only bluff, which was born and developed after the war." Israeli General Matityahu Peled, Ha'aretz, 19 March 1972.

Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabic TV2 in Arabic, official television station of

the Saudi Government, at 0936 GMT carries a 24-minute live sermon from the

Holy Mosque in Medina.

Shaykh Ali Abd-al-Rahman al-Hudhayfi delivers the sermon.

"O God, strengthen Islam and Muslims,

humiliate infidelity and infidels, and destroy Islam's enemies, including

the vile Jews." He also asks God to protect the country of the custodian of

the two holy mosques and "to help the Palestinian brothers defeat the

usurper Jews, to shake the ground under them, to instill fear into their

hearts, and to make them prey for Muslims."

...is considered heresy by a majority of practicing Muslims.

One could, with a little effort, find similarly hateful rhetoric in Christian and Judaic literature as well.

One instance does not make your case.

Muslims are angry with Israel's Jews because of their perceived crimes. Not that I am a defender of Islam as there is much in Islamic Philosophy with which I violently disagree.

However, your counter example does work as the quote I gave was from a direct participant in a given situation. You are comparing Apples and Oranges.
