Wilders urges Israel to build more West Bank settlements

Geert Wilders on Saturday called on Israel to build more settlements in the West Bank in defiance of international demands for a construction freeze on Sunday, the Jerusalem Post reported.


Wilders stated that building must continue so Israel can create defensible borders — by annexing the West Bank, the paper quoted Wilders as saying.
Later, in a speech in Tel Aviv on Sunday, Wilders called on Jordan to open its borders to Palestinians who wish to settle there.
Arab leaders and Islam not Israel are to be blamed for the plight of Palestinian refugees, Wilders said.
‘The truth is that Jordan is Palestine, the truth is that Samaria and Judea are part of Israel, the truth is that Jerusalem may not fall, the truth is that Israel is the only democracy in a dark and tyrannical region, the truth is that Israel is the linch pin of the West,‘ Wilders said.
