Indeed a call was made Sunday by Jewish settler leaders and by some Israeli cabinet ministers who demanded that Palestinians be deported or killed "en masse".
“The army must end the existence of those who stand against the Jews,” said settler leader and former government minister, Benny Elon.
Elon, who advocates the transfer of Palestinians, added, “those who don’t accept our rule here should be killed.”
Sharon’s “outrageous” policy comes after an attack claimed by the Islamic Jihad resistance movement that left 12 Israeli soldiers and settlement security personnel dead.
Israel had previously misled public media into believing the attack was perpetrated against “worshippers”. Army sources however later backed down and admitted that battle claimed the lives of IOF soldiers and paramilitary settlement security personnel.
Shortly after the radio report on Sharon’s ‘plans’, settlers placed several shipping containers, caravans and tents near the site of the Hebron attack—a few dozen yards from the "Kiryat Arba" settlement—and declared it a new settlement outpost, AP reported.
