WASHINGTON - Several unabashedly pro-Israel U.S. Jewish organizations decried far-right lawmaker Bezalel Smotrich s remarks stating that he would ensure Arabs who do not recognize the Jewish people s legitimate rule over the Land of Israel “will not remain here.”
In a tweet posted on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the chairman of the far-right Religious Zionism party wrote: “I heard that after Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, may he live a long life, said that a true Muslim must know that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish People, Ahmad Tibi opened his mouth against him. So Ahmad, a true Muslim must know that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, and over time Arabs like you, who do not recognize that, will not remain here. Rabbi Shmuel and tens of thousands of his students, including us, will make sure that happens.”
