"Jews have right to settle in land of the Bible"


Haaretz/ here
"..............Eli, which is tucked deep in the heart of the disputed territory, "breathes life into the Zionist vision in the face of the rising Arab nationalism." 
"The withdrawals [from the Gaza Strip and the northern West Bank in 2005] whetted the appetites of our neighbors," Ya'alon said. "It is not easy saying this to a nation which was promised peace if only it made a few more concessions." 
"[Israel] must revive the values of Zionism and to derive power and morality from it," Ya'alon said. "Eli is an example and a model to be imitated." 
Eli is one of the settlements on whose grounds stand a number of illegal outposts that are slated for evacuation. Ya'alon did not specifically refer to the outposts in his remarks, yet his position on the subject could be ascertained from the spirit of his statements. ...."
