Thousands of rightists protest at PM’s home, demand action on terror

And by 'action on terror' they mean an accelerated annexation of the West Bank, via illegal land grabs and construction and apartheid.

Speaking to the crowd, Tourism Minister Levin branded Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a terrorist who had no desire for peace.

“Those who think that terror can defeat the spirit of the nation of Israel and can stop us implementing our historical rights in every part of the land of Israel, should see us here today and understand that we will not be beaten,” he said, according to the Ynet news website.

“I say in the clearest way possible – we are here to strengthen the government to do the things that we all believe in. I think that there is a clear connection between the recent terrorist incidents and the speech of that terrorist who calls himself the head of the Palestinian Authority, Abu Mazen [Abbas]. The time has come to state clearly: The PA and he who stands at the head of it not only have no solution, they are the heart of the problem,” Levin said.

Social Affairs Minister Katz, meanwhile, saved the bulk of his remarks to calls for an accelerated rate of settlement construction, which he said was the best way to send a message to Israel’s enemies.

We have to expand [construction] across Israel, to Judea, Samaria, Binyamin, Jerusalem,” Katz said. “A construction freeze bolsters the wrong-doers. Freezing construction is perceived as weakness and therefore we need to build more vigorously — kindergartens, schools — to expand the existing communities, to build and set up new communities. The prime minister is the only one who can defeat terrorism and build the land of Israel, and we expect him to do so.”
