Head of the National Jewish Front movement Baruch Marzel responded to Defense Minister Ehud Barak's call security chiefs to issue more administrative orders to limit Israel rights activists in Judea and Samaria. Marzel pointed out that Barak has not succeeded at handling the truly dangerous Arabs, anarchists, and pro-Arab activists who keep demonstrating against the partition fence at Naalin and Bil'in.

For many months those protestors have thrown rocks at Israeli police and soldiers at the site, and physically trying to damage any work they can on the fence. Marzel said that Barak is trying to be a hero at the expense of good jews.
