No kidding: 'Every time we give up land, people get killed'
Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett on Monday spoke out against President Shimon Peres's calls for the resumption of peace talks based on a two-state solution, saying that "every time we give up land, people are killed."
Speaking at a Bayit Yehudi faction meeting, Bennett stated that "this is the time to say this is our land and it's not for sale."Actually, I'd go a step further. Every time we let up on security measures (like the imposition of checkpoints within Judea and Samaria), people are killed.
But what will his friend Yair Lapid say?
The Bayit Yehudi leader said that there is no difference between Israeli residents of Tel Aviv and West Bank settlements, and that the IDF must understand that it is also responsible for protecting the 400,000 Israelis living in Judea and Samaria.In April 2002, Ariel Sharon once said that the fate of Netzarim is the fate of Tel Aviv . That didn't stop him from expelling all the Jews from Netzarim three years later. Is Bennett similarly bluffing? Will his 'inclusive' national religious party abandon the revenants one day in order to keep his pact with Lapid?
