The leader of the right-wing national religious Jewish Home party said settler outposts set up on private Palestinian land are illegal and should be removed.

Naftali Bennett made the statement in an interview with Channel 2′s Nissim Mishal broadcast on Thursday evening, seemingly breaking with the hard-line views of much of the party’s base.

A statement issued by Jewish Home after the show appeared to backtrack on the party leader’s words, reading: “Thankfully, there are no outposts that fit the description presented by the interviewer and therefore no outposts will be evacuated. Instead, we will act to make the government adopt the Levy report, which offers alternatives to demolition.”

Playing politics, as usual. What makes Jewish Home any better than any other party?

The key word here seems to be "private" Palestinian land. If the land has been purchased, and the settlers have title to it, then its not illegal in any sense I would understand. The only question then becomes defending it.

Thanks Former Fetus. This is the a late-hit smear:
