Credibility is an absolute category. Once damaged, it disappears completely. Israelis have a chance to destroy the credibility of the Jewish collaborationists who usurp the government. Jews cannot defend the relatively large Gush Katif but can concentrate protesters in the outposts the government is trying to clear now. The Israeli policy of concessions to the Arabs, absurd from the start, has proved itself wrong. Arabs, like others, do not understand the language of goodwill, especially forced goodwill.

The situation is not hopeless; it is critical. We must destroy the credibility of the treacherous Israeli government. Settlements in Samaria provide the best ground for a confrontation. The so-called illegal settlements were built by Jews on Jewish land with no money or protection from the government. Israeli rulers have no right—moral, economic, or military—to evict the settlers. The settlements are small and could be efficiently defended. The point is to assemble tens of thousands of Jews in the settlements to give the army and the police a reason for inaction. Should that be insufficient, it is the duty of the Jews to employ any means necessary to stave off the annihilation of the Samarian communities by the Israeli government. Repeat, any means, regardless of the consequences.

This is a defensive confrontation. The enemy is the government. Able Jews cannot excuse themselves. Inaction, kitchen talk, watching events on TV amount to betrayal. Like we rose up against the Egyptians and the Syrians, we must rise against the Israeli government. Their goals are the same—the de facto destruction of the Jewish state. And our response should be the same.
