Israeli minister wants to annex half of West Bank and kick out the Palestinians

JERUSALEM — A top Israeli minister said he wants the government to take complete control of more than half of the West Bank and remove the Palestinian residents of the territory.

While traveling with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a state visit to Russia on Tuesday, Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel told the Times of Israel that the world should forget about a Palestinian state.

“We have to aspire to the annexation of Area C; these are areas where there are no Arabs at all,” Ariel said. “We would remove a few thousand, who do not constitute a significant numerical factor.”

How many chances do they get?

Maybe it's time to reconsider whether the Palestinians want their own state in peace alongside the Jewish state.

childhood. I form my opinions on evidence at hand. Israel steals, paliestinians react and killings ensue from both sides. Israel keeps Palestine impoverished and fearful. Israel loves kicking the puppy, all in the name of persecution, and end up more evil than their enemy.

It is not my business and it is not the US's business to support either side. I see Israel just as terrorist as Palestine. I resent my taxes going to pay for this stupid conflict. Israel is strong enough to stand on her own

If you see Israel as just as terrorist as Palestine, you do not understand the meaning of terrorist, as in the two Arab terrorists who just 1 hour ago disguised as ultra-orthodox Jews shot at least a dozen Israelis civilians at a mall in Tel Aviv and killed at least 3.

re :

A more likely explanation is that this is an extremist member of government shooting off his mouth in order to make himself look good to other extremists.

He is number two on HaBayit HaYehudi's list 6chars.......after Naftali Bennett.
