Arutz Sheva reports:
Israel's acting prime minister, MK Ehud Olmert, has declared war, not against Hamas or the Islamic Jihad, but against unauthorized Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
Olmert, at a meeting Wednesday afternoon with security officials, ordered the IDF to draw up clear plans to prevent the creation of new outposts and to destroy existing ones.
Nearly every community in Judea and Samaria started as or engaged in building projects that were unauthorized at some stage. Israel's ambiguous policies with regard to the future of Judea and Samaria have been blamed for this trend, as various government coalition members and heads of government ministries worked for and against Jewish resettlement of Judea, Samaria and Gaza following the Six Day War.Olmert told the officials that until now the government has not acted with the necessary strength against the phenomenon "of illegal Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria."
Olmert said that the time has come to use overwhelming strength against the communities and instructed the Defense Minister to compile plans for uprooting outposts and declared that the significantly developed town of Amona near Ofra, would be destroyed in the coming days.
Olmert angrily called for the immediate expulsion of Jews from the Shalhevet marketplace area in Hevron.
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said that she sees the onslaught against the outposts as "a conflict between settlers and the government in a struggle for supremacy."
MK Aryeh Eldad, head of the National Union's current-events team, in reaction to Olmert's statements said: "Olmert is inciting towards a civil-war as part of his election campaign. The issue [in Hevron] could be resolved through a legal compromise, but Olmert prefers to ignore this option in order to become the leader of the Left in the next elections."
I pray for the Jews of Judea and Samaria, as they will be facing an overwhelming force with only their faith and their hands to fight with. A sad, sad day has befallen Israel, and I fear the end of the Jewish State may be coming soon as a result of this civil war.
Yet, it's a war that apparantly must be faught: a war for the soul of Israel.

Olmert has simply had enough of the Jews getting in the way of peace. Why is this such a big deal? They should have been removed a long time ago.
Dana, surely you must have had some brain damage in your past that can explain why you think so poorly of Jews despite the fact that you claim to be Jewish. Such self-loathing, young lady, is unbecoming.
I thought Judea was derived from the fact that Jews lived there? Maybe the name should be changed to Paldea or some other nonsense just to clear up the Israeli leadership position.

dana is a bootlicker. bootlickers love their place in society. leave them alone guys.
