(Israeli) Minister calls for Jewish takeover of Palestinian areas in Israel

Israel's housing minister called for strict segregation between the country's Jewish and Arab populations last week as he unveiled plans to move large numbers of fundamentalist religious Jews to Israel's north to prevent what he described as an "Arab takeover" of the region.

And he scoffed at reports that he used body doubles to confuse assassins.
