Settler movement
is bouncing back.
Homesh, West Bank/JTA
ewish settlers and their
supporters by the hun-
dreds climbed six miles
of winding road, their path lined
with a mix of wildflowers and
Israeli army jeeps and armored
personnel carriers.
They made their way to the
ruins of what once was one of the
most remote West Bank settle-
ments, surrounded on all sides
by Palestinian villages, to make
a statement: A new and defiant
spirit in the settler camp would
try to reclaim what was lost when
Israel unilaterally withdrew from
parts of the northern West Bank
in the summer of 2005.
Two recent events — the march
to Homesh and the purchase of
a Palestinian home in Hebron by
Jews — are sending a message
to the Israeli government and the
mainstream settler leadership.
After Israel withdrew from the
Gaza Strip and part of the north-
ern West Bank in August and
September 2005, the settler camp
went through a period of shock
and soul-searching.
A year and a half later, many
speak of feeling increasingly dis-
connected from the State of Israel
and its institutions as well as the
Yesha Council, the settler leader-
ship.
The violent clash between set-
tlers and police who came to
evacuate the illegal West Bank
outpost of Amona in February
2006 proved to be a watershed.
"We learned that the people
who shed blood for the country
are the ones who will own it in
the end:' said Erez Avrahamov,
29, from the settlement of Karnei
Shomron.
Some in the more strident
circles of the settler movement see
Israel's withdrawal not only as a
betrayal but as an event for which
the country is now being pun-
ished. They cite the failures of the
recent war in Lebanon, the wave of
scandals plaguing the government
and even former Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon's coma as forms of
divine retribution.
