1. Shdema -
From: Nadia & David Matar [mailto:nmatar@netvision.net.il]
Subject: The struggle for a Jewish Shdema-
The following are new, and shocking, details on what is happening in Shdema and in the struggle for Shdema.
First of all, mark the following dates, on which we are planning activities for a Jewish Shdema. Make every effort to come, and to bring additional activists who love Eretz Israel.
A) Friday, July 11, 2008, at 10:00 a.m., in the Gush Etzion community center (Matnas):
gathering and tour for a Jewish Shdema, with the participation of public figures, settlement secretariats, and activists from all over Israel
Details regarding the speakers at the gathering will be provided in the coming days.
The gathering in the community center will be short and purposeful. At 11:00 we will travel together by bus to Shdema, where we will tour the area and plan the activities for the coming weeks.
It is very important to attend the gathering and participate in the tour, in order to see with your own eyes what is happening at Shdema, and how international anarchists are attempting to take over the location (details below). Estimated return to the Gush Etzion community center at 1:30 p.m.
Those planing to arrive for the gathering and tour are requested to send an e-mail, so we will have an idea of how many people will participate and order buse accordingly. Send an e-mail to:
eli7@womeningreen.org.il
B) Monday, July 14, 2008: a kumsitz and sleeping at the Shdema camp
Reserve the date. Precise details of the program for the day will be sent by e-mail in the coming days.
We will arrive at Shdema in the late afternoon, and we will repaint the buildings after the anarchists painted over what we had done about a month ago.
With God's help, we will remain at Shdema until morning. It is important that many people come for this activity, as well.
The more we engage in activities at Shdema and increase the Jewish presence at the site, we will succeed, with God's help, in returning it to our hands and turning it into a Jewish settlement.
New details follow regarding Shdema and the anarchists involved in their activities there. A report by Hodayah Karish-Hazoni appeared in Mekor Rishon in the last Shabbat issue..
We are grateful to Sharon Katz, Efrat resident, the editor of the Voices magazine, who accompanied us on one of the tours to Shdema, discovered the activity by the anarchists, and wrote a lengthy investigative article on the subject in her magazine. A link to Sharon Katz's article in Voices will be available soon.
Also enclosed is a letter signed by rabbis and public figures, mainly from the Har Homah-Gush Etzion-Kiriat Arba-Hebron area, who warn the Defense Minister of what is happening at Shdema, and demand that this be dealt with speedily.
With the blessing of "Let us by all means go up, and we shall gain possession of it" (Numbers 13:30)

Shdema:
Shdema is the abandoned army camp on the Jerusalem-eastern Gush Etzion road, not far from Har Homah. Despite the camp being in Area C (Israeli control), the government gave the OK to the PLO Authority to establish an Arab neighborhood there in the near future.
About a month and a half ago we began the struggle for the establishment of a Jewish city at Shdema, and the security forces removed us. Since then, we have been returning in small groups to examine what is happening and to plan the continuation of the struggle. To our amazement, we recently encountered groups of international anarchists who are trying to take control of the location. Sharon Katz conducted an investigation of who these anarchists are, and the results are simply amazing.
Actually, there are many international elements involved and mixed together.
There is the CURE organization that builds hospitals in Muslim countries in order to "draw the Muslims closer" and the like. According to what is written in their site, they are building a hospital for the children of Beit Sahur in the vicinity of Shdema, but it is not certain that this is exactly where the army camp is located. They are the ones who tell us they have $16,500,000 to develop the hospital.
And there are two more names: Paidia, Oush Grab
Paidia is building the Forrest Adventure Gardens on "an abandoned Israeli army base."
They call the Shdema area "Oush Grab."
They work together with an NGO of very organized anarchists and artists (Arabs, Europeans, Americans, and at least one Jew from London named Eyal Weizmann) who set up a truly horrible web site based entirely on the ideology of decolonization. That is, a web site that analyzes the question, "How to deal with the great architectural problem: what to do with the remains of the settlements when they will be destroyed and dismantled in the future." Decolonization means, of course, the dismantling of the settlements. That is, we have here a band of Israel-haters who professionally plan the dismantling of our settlements.
They write "Architecture is speculation, but we are providing real answers to what can be done on the ground." And, actually, anyone who enters the site sees that they have built an instructive professional plan, with maps, aerial photographs, and the like, of a considerable portion of the settlements: how to dismantle them, how to use the houses after being dismantled, etc.
They are a group of dozens of people who meet on a weekly basis and discuss this issue.
http://www.decolonizing.ps/site/?page_id=40
They say:
"We have chosen the settlement of Psagot as a test case, because it is close to Ramallah and el-Bireh."
http://www.decolonizing.ps/site/?page_id=39
Eyal Weizmann explains the national need to, first of all, destroy everything that has been built by the settlers, and shows photographs of Shdema when the Arabs destroyed the military structures.
http://www.decolonizing.ps/site/?page_id=12
After the locals destroy, then comes the next stage: dismantling (or destruction).
http://www.decolonizing.ps/site/?page_id=49
What to do with the settlers' houses - how to dismantle them and use them - to turn them into public buildings? into a school classroom?
http://www.decolonizing.ps/site/?page_id=48
And on and on.
You should take a look at their site - it's a good idea to first take a pill against nausea.
The chapter on "Vision" has photographs of Shdema and the "vision" to transform the army base into a gigantic site for the showing of movies, to give the Palestinians a good feeling about an area that was once occupied
and that this will become an area from which "Palestine can be seen."
http://www.decolonizing.ps/site/?page_id=11
And then there is the Paidia organization, which sends volunteer activists into the field to live with the Arabs and to help them. These are the same ones we met there. If we wondered what strange games they are playing, then here below is a letter to their activists.
Clearly, using "games" and faking "educational projects" has become the anarchists' tactic to steal the land of the Jews and to push their real goal: the destruction of the settlement enterprise and ultimately the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel.Their letter:

Posted August 4, 2005
Then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places; you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess. And ye shall take for yourselves the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families: to the many ye shall increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance: where the lot falleth to him, there shall be each man's [inheritance]; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye take for yourselves the inheritance. But if ye will not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, those that ye let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes, and pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell. And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.
Numbers (Bamidbar) 33:50-56
3. Religious Parties have UNITED in Statement against Toeva Parade!!!!!he Shas, National Religious Party, United Torah Judaism and National Union Parties have joined forces (I am sure Manhigut is also against this impurade but I'm not sure why their name was not on. robin.)
Frum Parties Call on Authorities to Move To'eva Parade Indoors
A letter was sent to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Attorney General Menachem Mazuz and the chief of police, calling upon them to move Thursday's scheduled to'eva parade in Yerushalayim to an indoor venue.
The Shas, National Religious Party, United Torah Judaism and National Union Parties have joined forces in their effort, along with Israel's chief rabbis, seeking to compel authorities to move the event to an indoor venue to prevent the chilul Hashem associated with such a happening in the streets of Yerushalayim.

....
If the Chareidi rabbis had seen serving in the Israeli Army as a crucially important mitzvah, today's IDF would be a strong Torah Defense Force!
Judaism never accepts that things can't be fixed or changed. That's what tshuva, repentance, is all about. We must constantly strive for a higher level of Jewish Life and to correct our, yes, our, mistakes.
5. Paul Eidelberg. The Majority are against Land for Peace. The Knesset does not reflect the will of the people due to a system which encourages bribery. Israel needs electoral reform.
Paul Eidelberg To Disenfranchise or to Empower the Jewish People
population is "orthodox," and at least 50% is "traditional." No less
than 75% therefore identify with the Jewish heritage. This
corresponds to the 76% of the Jewish electorate that voted against
the Labor Party's policy of "unilateral disengagement" in the January
2003 election-the paramount issue of that election.
Nevertheless, thanks to political bribery-facilitated by the system
of voting for party slates-the Knesset, by a margin of 67 to 45,
voted for territorial withdrawal and the expulsion of 10,000 Jews
from their homes! Surely, few if any of the 23 Likud MKs would have
voted for that defeatist and criminal policy had they been
individually accountable to the voters in constituency elections.
This vividly illustrates how Proportional Representation in a single
nationwide electoral district undermines political accountability. It
also shows how PR has diminished Jewish sovereignty over the Land of
Israel and, to that extent, has undermined the Jewish heritage. (I
have elsewhere cited polls going back to 1992 showing that a
substantial majority of the Jews have opposed surrendering Jewish
land. See Ariel Center Policy Paper No. 172 for details.)
In view of the preceding facts, I conclude that Shas, by vetoing
constituency elections, perpetuates a system that disenfranchises the
people; and since most of the people identify with the Jewish
heritage and expect law-makers to uphold Jewish beliefs and values,
it follows that Shas, despite its religious orientation, has
undermined, to no small extent, Israel's Jewish character.
