"Jewish Authority" Will Stay in Land Given Away by the State

[dayag]

Should a two-state peace deal be signed, Israelis living in West Bank may set up their own state:

In a conference held on Thursday in the Jewish community of Nofim in Shomron, a new movement called The Jewish Authority was established.

The conference was attended by such Land of Israel activists as Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe, Prof. Hillel Weiss, Prof. Aryeh Stav, Dr. Gadi Eshel, and others. Arutz Sheva met with the participants in order to find out what exactly is The Jewish Authority.

“The Jewish Authority is the Jewish sources, the Jewish legal system and Jewish sovereignty,” explained Prof. Weiss. “This is an authority from G-d, so we are speaking from the bible, we are speaking from prophecy and from history.”

The Jewish Authority makes it very clear that even if the Israeli government decides to give up parts of Judea and Samaria to the Arabs, its members do not intend to be expelled from their homes as was the case in Gush Katif in 2005.

“We will not only survive here or be some refugees under the Arabs, we will be the masters of this place,” Prof. Weiss said. “The Jews got this land and we will keep this land even if the State of Israel decides to withdraw from it.” ...

Rabbi Wolpe said that if the Israeli government indeed pulls the army out of Judea and Samaria, there would be a real need to establish an independent Jewish police force.

“Judea and Samaria are the heart of the Land of Israel and no government has the power and the right to abandon Jews,” he said. “If these communities are abandoned we will have to establish a defense force to protect them just like in 1948.”
