An Israeli settler leader said foreign Jews should come oppose Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s Gaza withdrawal plan. “I have received hundreds of e-mails from Jews abroad who expressed their support and are interested in coming to Israel to fight the plan,” Pinchas Wallerstein, a senior member of the Yesha settler council, told the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. “I am personally in favor, although we will have to discuss the idea since there are Israelis who do not like when Jews from abroad interfere with what is going on here.”
