Israel MK Effie Eitam: "Expel the Arabs"

What a great start to the day. Just when you think every minister holding office in Israeli politics is a corrupt, concessionist coward, a ray of light beems forth brightly from the Knesset floor. Effie Eitam (National Union Party), MZ's choice to replace Neville Olmert as Israel's next Prime Minister, is that beem of light.

Ynet News - Arab Knesset members responded harshly Monday to the remarks of Knesset Member Effie Eitam (National Union-National Religious Party) both against Israeli Arabs and the Palestinians, saying that "the truth has been revealed."

On Sunday, during a memorial service for First Lieutenant Amihai Merhavia, who was recently killed in Lebanon, Eitam presented the State of Israel 's urgent missions, as he sees them.

"We will have to do three things: Expel most of the Judea and Samaria Arabs from here. We cannot be with all these Arabs and we cannot give up the land, because we have already seen what they do there. Some of them may be able to stay under certain conditions, but most of them will have to go," he said.

"We will have to make another decision, to remove the Israeli Arabs from the political system. Also here things are clear and simple: We have raised a fifth column, a group of traitors of the first degree, and therefore we cannot continue to approve such a hostile and great presence inside Israel's political system.

"The third thing: We will have to act differently than everything we have known so far opposite the Iranian threat. These are three things that will entail a change in our war ethics."

I'm sold on the guy. This is the first public demand by an MK for the vermin to be banned and expelled in many years. The reality is that Effie Eitam is not some phony politico, as I have outlined before, but a hero from the Yom Kippur War and the raid on Entebbe. He would be Israel's best hope for survival in the years to come if he can somehow, someway supplant the pathetic Neville Olmert and become the next Prime Minister of Israel.

Bibi (Likud) is just another corrupt, concessionist failure of the first degree, Lieberman (Israel our Home) has already agreed to make land concessions and join the Olmert government if asked, and nothing else is out there to choose from. It is Effie Eitam or nobody.
