Settler leader throws shade on West Bank outpost demolition

Gush Etzion Regional Council chairman Shlomo Ne’eman throws some shade on the upcoming demolition of the Netiv Ha’avot outpost in the West Bank.

“Families are about to sacrifice their homes on the altar of the rule of law — a law that has no justice, no morality. A law that states that a Jew who built a house on his land should stand up and go because of violent attacks by left-wing organizations that aim to throw us out,” he says. “We have news for them: This land is ours. These stones are ours. These thorns are ours, and these homes will be rebuilt. Not just 15 or 150 homes, but 400 homes, and that is just the beginning.”

He adds: “Whoever attacked us from the beginning did not sleep, made us build and grow, in a bloc on which we gave our lives before the age of 9, and our sovereignty was realized in full and soon, in Gush Etzion and in every part of the homeland.”

“We are here for our people and for the cities of our God”
