'There will be war over House of Peace,' vow Hebron settlers
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: West Bank, Israel News 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for November 24, 2008

Hebron has largely emptied of the thousands of Jews who arrived over the weekend to commemorate the death of the biblical matriarch, Sarah. But a few hundred very determined right-wing activists have stayed behind to prepare for what they suggest will be a nasty struggle with Israeli security forces.

Hebron's settlers have only grown steadily more aggressive in rhetoric since the High Court of Justice ruled last week that they must evacuate the so-called "House of Contention," which they call the "House of Peace."

dditional settlers from all over the West Bank have been streaming into Hebron since the ruling to fortify the house and step up what they are trying to paint as legitimate resistance against Israeli state oppression. Part of that struggle is a public relations campaign. "There will be a war over the House of Peace" is one slogan created by volunteers.
