This from Arutz Sheva:
These brave Jews represent the future of Israel. Another 25 years from now and, God willing, they will outnumber the leftists and undo the evils perpetrated on the Jewish people by craven secular concessionists like Olmert.A rally protesting the political and security policies of Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert brought an estimated 100,000 demonstrators to Jerusalem’s Zion Square Sunday night.
The demonstration, the largest since the government uprooted 25 Jewish communities from Gaza and northern Samaria last August, is taking place under the shadow of last week’s demolition of nine homes in Amona and the brutal police reaction to people who protested the destruction.
Banners reading “Olmert is bad for the Jews” and “Olmert is bringing about civil war” were positioned at the center of Sunday night’s demonstration.
Speaking at the rally, MK Uri Ariel (National Union) said, “Yes it’s correct, Olmert is bad for the Jews…Olmert wants to shed Jewish blood and we won’t let him. We’ll remove him from office” on election day, scheduled for March 28.Video footage showing mounted police attacking and beating back demonstrators at Amona was shown on giant video screens during the rally. A video showing MK Effie Eitam (National Union) being trampled and mauled by mounted police was repeatedly shown to counter government claims that Eitam violently engaged the police by throwing rocks at them.

RWM,
Amona is the first battle of the revolution. Ehud Olmert has Jewish civilian blood on his hands, and the next time he tries to expel the Jews from their homes just for being Jewish he'll likely get some of his own blood spilled in the process.
The Yesha settlers will not go down quietly from here on out, I assure you. Expect the fight to be fierce from the Judean and Samarian Jews, who will defend their right to live on their land with their very lives if that's what it takes.
Jewish nationals are training to confront the next police assault on a Jewish village.

JB, you are correct in your observations. I believe the Amona pogrom will be remembered as the defining moment between the end of passive protest and the beginning of the armed resistence by the Judeans against future Israeli aggression.
Now the battle really begins, for any future expulsions will surely be met with ferocious fighting from the Settlers from this point on.
Stay tuned, I'm about to post the photos of the rally in Zion Square.
