We have not occupied a foreign land;
we have not ruled a foreign land;

we have liberated the land of our

forefathers from foreign occupation."


(Maccabees I, Chapter 15, verse 33)

[Freeman Note: There are about 20,000 Arab attacks on Jewish targets each year. There are ZERO (0) Jewish attacks on Arab targets each year. Now read the article below and see how misleading and out of touch with reality the IDF is. No "so called" price tag attacks have ever been provent in a court of law with proper evidence. The whole slander campaign agains "Right wing Israelis is a slander campaign against TRUE ZIONISTS JEWS in Israel. It is motivated by the LEFT through its control of the media, Supreme Court, judges,police, IDF and Shin Bet.
The day will come soon when Zionist rule will return to Jerusalem.
And it will not come with armed revolution, but with the rising tide of education and knowledge provided by the Freeman Center and other true Zionist organizations......Bernard]

IDF Central Command chief issues warning over far-right

The Jerusalem POst - 10/25/2011 19:10

Maj.-Gen. Mizrahi condemns hostility toward outgoing Judea and Samaria Division commander Brig.-Gen. Alon for clearing illegal outposts.

OC Central Command Maj.- Gen. Avi Mizrahi issued a stern warning on Tuesday over the threat posed by far-Right Jewish elements in the West Bank.

Speaking during a ceremony to mark the replacement of outgoing Judea and Samaria Division commander Brig.- Gen. Nitzan Alon, whose home was the scene of regular demonstrations by activists opposed to IDF clearances of illegal outposts, Mizrahi warned that the IDF may have to “confront the extreme fringes on the Right, who could bring the whole area to an escalation [in violence].”

Mizrahi also condemned “price tag” attacks by far-Right elements, which are launched on random Palestinian targets and security forces following the demolition of outposts.

Addressing Alon, Mizrahi said, “You’ve absorbed quite a bit [of hostile rhetoric]. In my view, this was unjustified. I think it is right to condemn people who were led by rumors.”

Turning to Alon’s mother, Mizrahi added, “It must have been difficult for you to see the demonstrations around your son’s home. I’d like you to know that you’ve raised a son who is a source of pride to the State of Israel.”

Alon was praised by Mizrahi for “knowing how to create a connection with Jewish communities [in the West Bank] with the required sensitivity, but also, with determination and without shortcuts.

Alon echoed Mizrahi’s warning, saying that “an extreme and marginal minority can bring about an escalation through acts that are called ‘price tag,’ but which reach the level of terrorism.”

During his two years as Judea and Samaria Division commander, Alon’s relationship with many of the settlers and right-wing activists was particularly contentious. They were angered by what they considered his strong-armed tactics during the demolitions of temporary homes in fledgling outposts and problems with access to Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus.

He was particularly criticized for his use of plastic bullets against activists at the nearby Gilad Farm outpost.

Samaria Citizens Committee Chairman Benny Katzover said he was the most “left-wing” division commander that he could recall in the past 30 years.

The Citizens Committee of Binyamin and Samaria said that during Alon’s time in command, the IDF hit an all-time record of alienating the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. It added that Alon was a politician in uniform and would have been better suited as a member of a left-wing party.

But Dani Dayan, who heads the Council of Jewish Communities of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, defended Alon and said he was one of the bravest soldiers in the army.

“Yes, we had our share of disagreements,” said Dayan. But he added that when it came to “price-tag” violence, he agreed with Alon and that it was important to halt such attacks.

Alon will be replaced by Brig.- Gen. Hagai Mordechai.
