Speaking in unison at a Sunday ceremony marking three years since the establishment of a Gush Etzion outpost built in response to the June 2014 kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens, settler leaders said the advancement of the settlement enterprise is the most appropriate response to Palestinian terror.
