1,000 more Jewish families in the place where Jewish lives were cut short. Every terrorist must know that this was the Zionist price tag for murdering Jews. In the place from where they try to uproot us – there we will deepen our roots. Not instead of eliminating the terrorists, not instead of the checkpoints, and not instead of drying up the terror swamp. But absolutely, as a necessary and clear Zionist step.

[This is the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP)'s English translation of Orit Strock's original Hebrew statement, reproduced in its Settlement & Annexation Report dated 23 June 2023; tier-2, confirmed verbatim against the fetched page. Her statement celebrated the Israeli government's announcement — made days after the 20 June 2023 Eli-junction terror attack — of ~1,000 new settlement housing units and the legalization of West Bank outposts near the Eli settlement. Exact date of her statement not independently pinned, so published_date left null.] Declared position of Orit Strock (also transliterated Strook) — a Religious Zionism party Knesset member and Israel's Minister of Settlements and National Missions, one of the most senior and ideologically committed voices of the MESSIANIC RELIGIOUS-ZIONIST SETTLER movement (a longtime resident-leader of the Jewish community in Hebron). Celebrating settlement expansion as the proper Zionist response to anti-Israeli terror, she declared that building "1,000 more Jewish families in the place where Jewish lives were cut short" is "the Zionist price tag for murdering Jews" — "In the place from where they try to uproot us – there we will deepen our roots… a necessary and clear Zionist step." This is the ISRAELI FAR-RIGHT / RELIGIOUS-ZIONIST SETTLER / GREATER-ISRAEL pole — Jewish settlement of all of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) as a sacred-national imperative, the rejection of a Palestinian state and of territorial compromise, and settlement growth as the answer to terror — the direct CONTESTED-CELL OPPOSITE of Ehud Olmert's two-state / end-occupation position and Ahmad Tibi's civic-equality demand. [Axes: Israel-Palestine / territory (settlement of all the Land of Israel; against a Palestinian state and against any withdrawal; de facto annexation), security (settlement expansion as the response to terror; "deepen our roots"), religion-state / identity (messianic religious-Zionism; the Jewish people's sacred right to the land), regime / right (the settler movement's maximalist wing within the governing coalition).]
