6. NORTH AMERICAN JEWISH STUDENT STRIKE
In response to the silence of the Jewish leadership on the planned expulsion of 300,000 Jews from Judea and Samaria, the division of Jerusalem and the abandonment of the holy Temple Mount, Jewish students across North America are saying,
Stand Up to Prevent… 3 No's!: No Expelling Jews! No Dividing Land! No Abandoning Har HaBayit!
9. Mental Preparation of the IDF for the Gush Katif Disengagement and ITS Aftermath in the IDF
1. Letter from Nadia Matar and Anita Finkelstein of Women in Green regarding terrorist infiltration to the Yishuv Yitzhar in the Shomron. The IDF does nothing to protect its citizens form terror attacks.
1) As usual when a dog bites a man it is no news. But when a man bites a dog...it makes the headlines.
And when that man is a Jew...oy vey...the media immediately attacks him!
Yesterday, on Shabbat, an Arab terrorist entered the Shalhevet-Ya neighborhood of Yitzhar Samaria. First he went to the Ben Shlomo house and burnt it down. Luckily the family was away for Shabbat but their entire house was destroyed, furniture, books, clothes, albums etc...burnt to ashes.
(see pictures in link below). Hardly any mention was made of that arson in the national news. But that is not the end of the story...
After burning down the house, the Arab terrorist continued on his one-man pogrom and tried to enter the orphan's home. Luckily the wife woke up and managed to scare him away. The Arab fled, but on his way he saw a 9 year old Jewish boy who had seen the fire and was on his way to call for help. The Arab stabbed the boy and threw him four meters down the wadi. After that he fled back to his Arab village. That stabbing attack also hardly made the news.
What DID make the news was the healthy reaction by the Yitzhar Jews. Upon seeing that the security forces once again were not doing anything serious to catch the Arab terrorist and his collaborators, tens of Yizthar Jews walked to the Arab village and caused some good damage against property in the village.
This was not the first time that Arabs attacked Jews from Yitzhar. Over the past weeks Arabs have destroyed Jewish fields, putting fire to them and causing lots of damage. The Israeli security forces have done nothing to stop the Arabs. After a Jewish boy was stabbed (luckily the Arab did not manage to murder the boy as was his obvious intention), the Yitzhar Jews rightfully declared: enough is enough! Jewish blood is not cheap or should not be cheap. There must be a price for hurting Jews. Anyone who hurts Jews must pay.
Women in Green applaud and strengthen our brothers in Yitzhar who reinstalled Jewish pride in all of our hearts. At a time when our political and security leadership continues its talks with the Arab enemy and thus encourages Arab terror against Jews it is good to know that there are proud Jews who know how to defend our Land and our People.

Arutz 7 has put up an additional news story with an important short movie as to what happened in Yitzhar.
Please click on: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127610
In addition, after seeing the witch hunt by the media and the Israeli government against Yitzhar, Women in Green has put up a petition to strengthen our brothers in Yitzhar.
Please add your name to that petition. Let's show the world that we stand by our brave brothers in Yitzhar. Pass this email on to lists of friends and relatives in Israel and abroad.

Women in Green thanks Dan Leubitz for setting up the petition so quickly.

Dearest Friends and family how are you all? Leah and I are still getting settled in after our return from the States – there is just so much to take care of and the days are just too short! Here is an Itamar update that I feel I must get out to you all as soon as possible. This past Shabbat a terrorist infiltrated the near by settlement of Yitzhar and stabbed a nine year old boy after setting fire to a house in the community. Thank G-D the boy survived the attack having been stabbed numerous times in his back. The boy happens to be the son of one of my friends and fellow Rabbis that teach in the Itamar Yeshiva high school – Chitzim. Today some Arabs set fire to the Itamar forest intending to burn down some of our houses that border the forest area. What is absolutely ridiculous is that the Israeli news reported that it was Itamar that set fire to the forest in order to burn down olive trees and prevent the Arabs from yielding their crop. The army verified our account of the story. This of course did not stop the media from bad mouthing us as usual. (By the way this year alone tens of times the neighboring Arabs have fire bombed our fields and caused fires in our community's surroundings.) This terrible prejudice against the settlers unfortunately is too commonplace here. Olmert together with other government officials and the media are always so quick to put the blame on the settlers in every opportunity. I didn't hear a condemnation of the attempted murder of the boy and the burning down of someone's house that he just finished building. Instead they focused on the fact the house was built illegally and the retaliation by the settlers of Yitzhar. What is illegal about building on our precious homeland? Let the truth be heard! The people of Itamar and the other communities in Shomron and Yehudah are wonderful. Their whole lives are devoted in building the land of Israel and holding on to it for all of Am Yisrael. The soldiers that live on Itamar and the surrounding areas serve in the most elite units in the Israeli army. No matter how much our youth are abused by the media and left wing – their spirit is always high and they choose to serve in the army in the most elite units endangering themselves! They have one goal in mind and that is to help Am Yisrael survive. They deserve a Yashar Koach. I will give you one small example my son , who serves in a very elite unit, did not stop his training although he broke his finger and was told to rest up for a couple of weeks. Where is justice? Of course, the answer is with special friends like you all are, that love Israel with all your hearts and souls, I have no doubt that we will see very great things happening in Israel soon!

3. Matot Arim - Settlers are being demonized with excessive "law enforcement" while there is No law enforcement against terrorists thereby encouraging more terror attacks. Please support the efforts of Matot Arim who wish to distribute their reports throughout big cities in Israel.
HOW LEFT-WING GROUPS ARE KEEPING EVERYONE'S MINDS OFF TERRORISTS
- BY DEMONIZING ISRAELIS
Many left-wing groups are working to perpetuate a modern blood libel according to which Israel does not enforce the law on SETTLERS. It is important to keep the record straight: in fact Israel does enforce the law against settlers, and does NOT enforce the law against TERRORISTS.
This came up this past weekend. Settlers were accused by left-wing Knesset members and others of being extreme because they spray-painted and shot in the air. But this was responsive to a serious terror attack in Yitzhar which was not dealt with by Israeli security authorities. In this attack, a young family's house was burned down (fortunately, the family, which has several small children, was at Grandma's house in Rehovot for the weekend). Also, a 10 year old was thrown off a porch 5 meters high after first being stabbed. Miraculously the child landed in a bush - the only bush in the area - and he is now recovering in hospital. Picture: http://yeshanews.com/?id=61077
Here are the facts about law enforcement in Israel:
a. Settlers are constantly indicted for the most minute trivia, such as holding placards outside of an official's home (among the dozens arrested for this very offense, a couple of weeks ago, were an 85 year old man and a baby in a stroller).
b. In contrast, Israeli Parliament Member Effie Eitam found out last year that the Israel Defence Forces have NO DATA about how many perpetrators of fatal terror attacks have actually been caught over the past decade, as opposed to how many still walk the streets. The Ministry of Defense does not want to find out: their official letter to Eitam asked this Knesset Member, himself a retired army officer, to withdraw the parliamentary inquiry so they would not need to bother to find out the answer.
c. Parliament Member Benny Alon found out last year that about 20 thousand separate terror attacks have been perpetrated against Israelis by Palestinians in a period of 5 years. Again, the Israel Defense Forces had not the faintest idea of how many of these perpetrators had been brought to justice and did not make any commitments to even try and find out.
d. The same Parliament Member, Benny Alon, filed a parliamentary inquiry asking when would the Israeli government finally get around to dealing with Palestinian "president" Abbas's pronouncement, last year, according to which "all our guns, all our guns, all our guns" would be trained against Israel. The rules of Israel's parliament were summarily broken in order to deal with this challenging question: no governmental response was received by Mr. Alon.
e. Just a few weeks ago, an official speaking for "moderate" Salaam Fayad's office threatened the lives of settlers. His threat was reported in the Jerusalem Post, but no law enforcement officer took any action at all.
f. A few years ago, columnist Sara Hoenig of the Jerusalem Post found out that the Hamas terror group held a public, festive gathering in ...the yard of an Israeli maximum security prison, of all places. Since that time, Knesset Member Eli Gabai has been trying to get a response on what was the name of the prison warden who allowed this to happen. No answers are forthcoming so far.
g. Please help the Israeli people protect themselves in this absurd situation by supporting private efforts. For example, Mattot Arim hopes to soon distribute information to the inhabitants of Israel's big cities explaining to them exactly what will happen to them if a Palestinian state ever comes into existence (answer: constant rockets everywhere -- like in Sderot). To do this we urgently need volunteer, Hebrew speaking GRAPHIC ARTISTS (please contact mattot.arim@gmail.com and mark your email URGENT). We also need FINANCIAL GIFTS. As little as 200 NIS allows us to warn one thousand Israeli families. Ideally, we would like to warn whole citiesful of Israelis, and that translates into huge printing and distribution costs. If you can help, write out your check to the Matteh leMaan Eretz Yisrael and send to: POB 1588, Rehovot Israel (please notify us of your generosity by email to sddym@bezeqint.net if possible).
Thank you for reading and for helping -- Mattot Arim, Israel
4. More on Discussions with Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky and the Chofets Chaim Heritage Foundation. The silence of the Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah are even a mystery to the Gedoilim themselves except that they can not bring themselves even individually to make a public statement. Are they really following the dictates of Rav Eliashiv who told Rabbi Morgenstern to speak out against concessions with one's full capacity? Reminiscent chas vechalila of the weakness to challenge the establishment and Silence of pre Nazi Germany.
DEAR ROBIN,
Shmuel Koenig called back and asked doesn't Pikuach Nefesh take precedence over Derech Eretz? Look what's happening in Sderot. Rav Kamenetsky replied it's not that clear that it's Pikuach Nefesh.
In light of what Rav Eliashiv answered Rav Morgenstern that each and every Jew must do what they can in their capacity to stop the concessions and that concessions make the security situation worse, we asked Rav Kamenetsky how come the Chofets Chaim Heritage Foundation is not being directed under his leadership to speak out against a Palestinian State and the expulsion chas vechalila of over 400,000 Jews . Rav Kamenetsky asked Shmuel Koenig why he works at another job and doesn't do this full time. Shmuel Koenig answered because he has to make a Parnassa. Rav Kamenetsky replied that the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation also has other jobs. Rav Kamenetsky said that the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation's job is to bring Shalom.
I personally followed up this discussion with a call to the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation. Executive Director Michael Rothschiled was unavailable to speak with me. Instead I spoke with a women though I failed to ask her her name. I asked her how come the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation is silent when Lashon Hara is linked so strongly with the Chait HaMiraglim and the failure of the Spies to encourage Am Yisroel to enter and conquer Eretz Yisroel. How can there be Silence with the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Jews are in the planning. She told me that I should put all my points clearly in writing to rothschild@chofetzchaimusa.org, I asked her how come we allowed the expulsion of Gush Katif? She replied that we didn't cause the expulsion of Gush Katif but it was the secular government of Israel. I replied that each and every Jew must express their desire for Eretz Ysrioel and our entitlement. By our Silence we chas vechalila scorn our birthright. Perhaps the Secular Gov't is only a messenger of Hashem because Hashem sees that the majority of Am Yisroel feels that practically Eretz Yisroel is irrelevant or unnecessary to their practice of Judaism. She asked me if I read a specific Sefer in Emunah. How through Tefillah we must cry out to Hashem. I replied that by the time I read the Sefer in Emunah, Yesha can be taken away from us. I repled that we first must show our hishtadlus. Almost on cue, my son came home from Yeshiva with a Dvar Torah the weekly Parsha on the Pasuk "You shall not see the donkey of your brother falling and hide yourself, you shall raise it with him." The Chofetz Chaim says, we learn from here that if a person tries to become better and puts in the effort, then Hashem will help him. If however, he only davens and asks Hashem for help and does not himself do anything about it, for what reason should he be zocheh to Siata Dishmaya, help from Hashem.

2) Below please find Gemma Blech's account and pictures of our Women in Green tour of the Gush Katif museum.
After the tour we went to the streets of the Mahane Yehuda shuk and distributed our Women in Green bumper sticker "The land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel". The sticker was gladly grabbed by the passers by who were thirsty for some Zionist message. Women in Green will continue to hand out our bumper stickers on a weekly basis. Join us!

7. Women in Green tour the Gush Katif Museum
WIG (Women in Green) tour the new Gush Katif Museum
by Gemma Blech
Today Women in Green went to visit the [fairly] new Gush Katif Museum in the heart of Jerusalem. This small museum does wonders to show us the history of the Gaza area from biblical times onwards; the return after the 6-Day war when the whole area was reclaimed from the desert, to become some 20 thriving towns, villages, and communities.
I was not there for the expulsion, but I made many trips there beforehand and this museum only shows in part the color, the vibrancy, the productivity and outright genius and commitment of so many to live on what before was just desert. Surely, "the desert shall blossom as the rose", wrote Isaiah.
Anyway, in their infinite wisdom Prime Minister Sharon and his lackeys decided that 'for peace' we should leave this southern stronghold and paradise, so in August 2005, the whole place was forcibly evacuated and bulldozed to rubble. Almost NONE of the promises of compensation for this piece of Jewish treachery and lunacy have been paid and there are still hundreds living in paper thin trailers, without jobs, land or income. The stories of the sufferings of the ex-Gush Katif Jews are endless and their dilemma is an endless Catch 22 situation with each committee, ministry, politician and worker passing the buck to yet another.
Maybe with this in mind WiG will pay a visit to the Shomron the heart of our biblical homeland and which is next on this government's chopping block.
