		Eitam said that he was opposed to the transfer of either Jews or Arabs, but in the same breath swore that, "the Arabs will never have a government, nor sovereignty, nor an army, in any part, grain, meter or alley of the State of Israel."

		They will, according to Eitam in an interview with Ha'aretz, be able to secure "dark citizenship in the Arab states" or in the State of Palestine, if and when it is established in Jordan and in the Sinai, but not in their country of residence.
		Elon and Eitam are aware of the concerns that their position is stirring, and they are trying to ease them.
		Eitam, like Elon and the young Ze'evi, cannot accept the territorial significance of this idea, but make cynical use of it, until the hour of redemption arrives - the moment of the liberating war or the messianic vision.

		Effi Eitam has his own way, somewhat convoluted, of saying things, using evasion, because even he does not have complete freedom from considerations of political correctness, applicable even to the hallucinatory and fascist right wing.
		Eitam has such a good opinion, to the point where he's willing to be his deputy, for now.

		On April 8th, we held a demonstration outside the Knesset, protesting the swearing-in of Effi Eitam as a minister and cabinet member.
		Eitam holds extreme views, while using his religious beliefs as an excuse for racist and prejudiced attitudes towards both Israeli Arabs and Palestinians.
		The emphasis of our demonstration was that while the National Religious Party has appointed Eitam as their leader, and he has joined the government, we see his views as dangerous, and we feel that they do not represent Judaism or Religious Zionism in any way.
