Interviews at Illegal Jewish Outposts: Settlers and Leaders Explain Settlements in Judea, Samaria

Описание: Jewish settlers in roughly 100 illegal outposts are braving tough conditions to live in these remote areas, and JN1's Sivan Raviv visited settler leaders and residents to hear their opinions. We spoke with Sharon, a young mother of five, as she fed her family and cleaned for the upcoming Passover holiday. She told us how beautiful the land was and that she doesn't think anyone can say it's illegal to live there. According to her beliefs, God has promised all of the land of Israel to the Jewish people, but she says she also doesn't want to fight. When asked if she was afraid of being evicted, she told us that it had happened before and that it was necessary for her to be an example for all Jewish people.

Settler leader Daniella told us that Israel hasn't declared sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, and this has kept these areas in a vague status since the end of the Six-Day War in 1967. She says that the fact that there is a list of illegal settlements doesn't actually make them illegal. Specifically about Arabs living on this land, she said that Arab citizens would endanger the future of the Jewish state and that the land belongs only to the Jews. However, she says that do have rights on the basis of community and cultural life.
