I just came back from Israel today after the AFSI tour throughout Yesha. The facts on the ground are very grave indeed and happening very quickly and people even in Yesha are unaware of how the government is working very effectively with facts on the ground towards the establishment of a Palestinian State. For example, our tour group was subjected to a roadblock going from Hevron to Ashkelon and we were asked to give our passports as if it were between 2 different countries. It was still an unsophisticated checkpoint since the machine didn't work properly and it didn't seem that the people knew what they were doing. The signs were only in Arabic and the inspectors did not seem the typical Israelis but rather a mix of Border police. It was quite unsettling. New signs are going up along this new forming wall (the future border of the "Palestinian State") stating that the development is funded by USAID or European Union etc. Many illegal Arab houses unoccupied at the moment, without windows are being built at an alarming rate with this influx of money coming from outside sources to establish facts on the ground. Also yesterday the government sent around 250 Yassam Police to evict a family from a Caravilla in Nitzan from Gush Katif (Please note that Nitzan is within the Green Line) Apparently, a family moved from a Caravilla to a house. Another family wanted their bigger Caravilla and moved into it. Leaving a smaller Caravilla to be removed. For this terrible "crime" they sent in 250 Yassam Police, riot horses etc to remove this family who wanted less cramped quarters. While Arabs are allowed to build illegally w/o permits all over the place. Jews are bogged down with bureaucracy, their natural grown contained and permits very hard to come by. Immoral and illegal orders have been implemented to expel Jews from settling the Land of Israel. But the letter below clearly clarifies how far the government is willing to go and it is our duty to publicize the truth before it becomes too late.
We asked Dror Vanunu, Gush Katif Leader what could stop a future expulsion from Yesha He replied that if the Rabbanim would come out with a strong psak for soldiers to disobey illegal and immoral orders to expel their fellow brothers in Yesha, it would be effective to prevent another expulsion. Mr. Sones wants a Psak of the Rabbanim to tell the ravshatzim (those responsible for the security and weapons of the residents) to disregard any order to confiscate the weapons of the residents of Yesha and for reasons of Pikuach Nefesh make sure that they are returned if confiscated. .
These are intolerable acts and we can take our cue of the establishment of the militia men in the 13 colonies.
Let us legitimize the justification of our bretheren in Judea and Samaria to fight a fair and just war in their struggle of freedom of religion and their right to assert our rights as loyal and tax paying citizens of the State of Israel.
I would like the Rabbanim to suggest that the entire Nationalist Camp join in one party party in a platform of Unity for Yesha and against the establishment of a Palestinian state. Splintering into Likud or any other party does not allow a strong force to present our case. Also they can use their influence to convince the people that for their very survival they must urge everyone to fight for Yesha as a priority to fighting for their very own community or Organization. United we Stand, Divided we fall. .
