Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says there will be no tolerance if protesters at the Amona outpost use violence.

“There is understanding and a will to accommodate the residents of Amona as much as possible,” Liberman says speaking at a Limmud FSU conference in the southern city of Eilat. “But it must be clear — there will be no acceptance and no tolerance of violence against IDF soldiers and members of the security forces.”

“Take it off the agenda,” he says.

Amona residents have called for passive resistance only to the slated evacuation, but attempts to remove some buildings in the illegal West Bank outpost in 2006 were met with violent resistance.
