Facebook Group Wants 'Arabs Out'

A pro-Zionist group on the popular internet Facebook social network is urging the Israeli government to expel Arabs instead of Jews from Judea and Samaria following the riots on Yom Kippur in the mixed Jewish-Arab city of Akko.

The group, listed on the internet website as a global organization, is entitled "100,000 strong against the Arab pogrom in Akko!" and presents its petition in four different languages.

"On the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, Arabs harassed, stoned Jews and smashed Jewish properties in the city of Akko," reads a description of the group. "We must scream to the heavens that Arab (sic) are committing pogroms against Jews in the Land of Israel. Arabs Out."

The initiative is the brainchild of United Jewish Student Council founder and director Yosef Rabin, who said in a statement that so far more than 25 percent of the 4,000 members invited to sign the petition have done so.

"The voice for transfer of Arabs is growing," he said. "It is through small acts like this that we will be able to start cracking the wall of opposition and help pave the way for a new vision for solving the Arab problem."

The petition, posted in English, Hebrew, French and Arabic, reads: "I hereby declare that instead of planning for the expulsion of Jews from Judea and Samaria, the Israeli government must prepare for the expulsion of Arabs from the Land of Israel."

Rabin's group organized a coast-to-coast Jewish student "Orange Day" last month in the U.S. to protest the plan by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to hand over more than 90 percent of Judea and Samaria, as well as half of Jerusalem, to the Palestinian Authority for a new Arab state.
