Rightist manifesto: Settler evacuation is 'crime against humanity'
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Rightists, Israel, Annapolis 

About 150 right-wing activists, including academics and Israel Defense Forces reserves officers, have signed a manifesto to be published Friday calling on security forces to refuse evacuating West Bank settlers on the grounds that it is a "crime against humanity."

The declaration comes a week before the U.S.-sponsored peace conference in Annapolis, Maryland. Rightists fear that the conference will bring upon a mass evacuation of settlements, which they say will strike a blow to the legitimacy of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's government.

"The Jewish people in Israel and the world will not recognize the international obligations of Israel's government to disconnect from every part of the land of Israel, will declare it null and void and do what they can to foil it," reads the manifesto.

According to the manifesto, Olmert and his government will use the upcoming Annapolis conference "to divide Jerusalem and give the Temple Mount to the Muslims, for a full withdrawal from Judea and Samaria, to build in the heart of Israel a terrorist Palestinian state and to carry out a mass expulsion of Jews."

Signatories on the declaration include Professors Natan Netanyahu and Daphna Netanyahu, relatives of opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, former MK Moshe Peled and former Yesha Council spokeswoman Emily Amrusi.
