Legal Forum for the Land of Israel sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attacking the U.S. administration’s demand for an absolute freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria.
“It is unreasonable to expect the Israeli government to fulfill the obligations undertaken by its predecessors while disregarding the commitment of President Bush to the inclusion of [Jewish] population blocs,” Legal Forum Director Nachi Eyal wrote.
On April 14, 2009 President George W. Bush openly said in a letter to then Prime Israeli Minister Ariel Sharon and later in a press conference that it is unreasonable to expect Israel to destroy its major Jewish population centers in Judea and Samaria.
Eyal disputed the Palestinian claims of “occupation” arguing that “the land on which these communities were built has never been legally held by any sovereign state other than Israel, nor was it inhabited by Palestinian individuals.”
Eyal asked Clinton how it could the U.S. demand, in the 21st century, that a judenrein state be created via the uprooting of hundreds of thousands of Jews, while 1.2 million Arabs lived freely in the State of Israel.
