Nadia Matar (Pikovitch) (Hebrew: נדיה מטר) (born February 16, 1966[citation needed]) is an Israeli right wing activist.
[3] They settled in Efrat,[1] moving to Shirat HaYam in Gush Katif in 2004 when Ariel Sharon decided to dismantle Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip.
"[3] She lobbied against the Israeli withdrawal from its Gaza Strip settlements and compared Yonathan Bassi, the official Ariel Sharon appointed to oversee the withdrawal, to the kind of person in a Judenrat under Nazi control who wrote letters telling his community to prepare for deportation (to a concentration camp).
[3] She took Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to task for backing a UN resolution against Jewish settlement in the West Bank.
[7] She is a leading figure in an apparent attempt to create a settlement, called Shdema, at Ush al-Ghrab ("Crow's Nest") in Beit Sahour, on a local Palestinian park that was, until 2006, an Israeli military base, and where her activism has managed to get the IDF to restore a presence there in the form of a watchtower and prevent 'illegal Arab building'.
[1] Palestinians are the real squatters in the 'land of Israel', she argues,[10] and has gone on record as supporting the idea of expelling Israeli Arabs.
'[11] She imagines that the whole land of Israel, in which she includes the West Bank, lies under an imperative struggle on the ground, throughout every inch of territory, where '(e)nemies from within and without want to take it from us and we must not continue with our life's routine.
