Wife of right-wing activist charged with racist incitement
By Nir Hasson, Haaretz Correspondent

Elisheva Federman, the wife of extreme right-wing activist Noam Federman, was indicted Sunday for incitement to racism.

The Jerusalem District Attorney based the indictment presented to the city's Magistrate's Court on remarks made by Federman, a resident of the West Bank city of Hebron.

The remarks were recorded on two occasions - first, by Haim Yavin in the documentary film series "Land of the Settlers," and later by a Channel 10 team in a story on Purim celebrations in Hebron, which was never aired.

To Yavin, Federman said, "We are talking about people who are subhuman... there is nothing to be done except for throwing them out of here, and not to Jordan, but far, because if they're in Jordan they will try to return. As far as possible."

"I say in the best circumstances we need to expel them... If they don't leave? We'll kill them... They're enemies. We have to fight them. If they don't leave, we'll start bombing them. That's the only thing that will help... We don't need to put on airs. We're in a war. A la guerre, comme la guerre - we must act as if we're in a war," she said.

"The entire Arab street supports the suicide bomber... everyone is complicit in such an act. We can give them an ultimatum to leave here with their possessions intact, and if not, we'll simply send... planes and bomb them and hold on to our land," she added.

In remarks made off the record, Federman said, "Whoever wants to remain alive should leave, and whoever doesn't will be killed. There is no choice."

In conversation with a Channel 10 reporter, Federman praised Baruch Goldstein, a West Bank settler who opened fire on Muslim worshippers at Hebron's Tomb of the Patriarchs in 1994 before being beaten to death.

"The 39 Arabs Goldstein killed is a drop in the bucket compared to what needs to be done. There needs to be a real war. We need to conquer this land once and for all," she said.

Federman is charged with one count of incitement to racism and two counts of attempting to spread incitement
