Israeli government's move to ignore the international outcry to stop Israeli settlements' expansion is b
acked by many hardline settlers.
Rabbi Yaakov Savir says the international demand for Israeli settlement expansion to be halted in the West Bank is absurd since God has given this land to the Jews.
The Israeli rabbi says Arabs should find another place to build their homes.
"This territory is Jewish territory," AFP quoted Savir as saying, making a sweeping gesture towards the nearby hilltops to show that he means the entire West Bank which Israel occupied in 1967.
He stressed that Israel's right-wing government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should not even consider bulldozing Jewish settlements in the occupied lands under international pressure.
"Jewish people live here by Biblical right, Arabs should find another place to live." the Israeli rabbi said.
Some 280,000 Jews live in 120 West Bank settlements which Israel considers legal and also wildcat outposts, which unlike full-scale settlements, are not authorized by the Israeli government.
