New party urges non-Jews' expulsion

[Warsai]

Dozens of right-wing Israeli leaders have announced the creation of a new political party which founders say will be dedicated to the expulsion of millions of Muslims and Christians from Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.

The party was launched in Jerusalem on Saturday night.

Taking part in the ceremony were many leaders of the officially outlawed but effectively tolerated Kach group such as Baruch Marzel and Hen Ben Elyahu.

Kach is a violent Jewish militia made up of Jewish activists who reject democracy and advocate the expulsion or, if necessary, annihilation of Arabs from what they call Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel).

According to some Jewish religious authorities, Eretz Yisrael encompasses mandatory Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, and parts of Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Turkey.

Since the outbreak of the second Palestinian intifada or uprising four years ago, Kach terrorists have killed scores of Arab civilians.

Those caught by the Israeli authorities usually received symbolic or light prison sentences. The bulk of the perpetrators are allowed to remain at large.

I wonder what the us position is on that. Is Israel just using this group to be a thorn in the arabs side or do they support such activities?

They sound like they have the same kind of plan Hitler had in the 1930's and 1940's. But obviously, they see nothing wrong with THEIR plan.

Maybe we can come up with a new name for their party. The Ku Klux Klan is already taken.

In every country, you're going to see some sort of group with their own form of hypernationalism, a group that wants some sort of revolutionary change, on both left and right. This one probably won't end up like the Nazi party. Or will it?
