Sharon: The Jewish Nation Has a Natural Right to Defend Itself

(Ha'aretz) Gideon Alon, Aluf Benn, and Nadav Shragai - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Monday: "The State of Israel has struck the foremost Palestinian murderer and terrorist." "This man's ideology boiled down to one thing - murdering Jews and destroying the State of Israel. This vile murderer ranked among the enemies of the Jewish people." The "war on terror continues day and night....It is the Jewish people's natural right to pursue those who plot to destroy them." Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Hamas has carried out 425 terror attacks since the start of the latest violence, killing 377 Israelis and injuring 2,076. Mofaz stated: "There can be no doubt that had Sheikh Yassin remained alive, he would have continued to send murderers to attack in Israel."
