Yeshiva of Chomesh bulldozed Dec 7, 2020
Rabbanim and Sefer Torah of Yeshivat Chomesh brought to Police station in Ariel
Not to speak is to speak....
From אירגון חוננו
See Hebrew below. The following is an edited google translation.
This happened today again..
"* Again: The yeshiva was destroyed in Chomesh - Rabbis and students from the yeshiva were arrested and taken to the police station along with the Torah scroll *
Border forces, the Civil Administration and the police destroyed the buildings of Yeshivat Chumash this afternoon (Monday). The forces arrived at the scene again, accompanied by a shovel, disrupted the study routine at the yeshiva and also arrested two yeshiva rabbis and several students. Of the yeshiva.
The forces then demolished a number of yeshiva buildings on the site. The forces took the detainees who were with the Torah scroll of the Yeshiva to the police station in Ariel.
The students and rabbis had to hold the Torah scroll all the way to the police station so that the Torah scroll would not be desecrated and treated with disrespect.
It will be recalled that about two weeks ago, Border Police and Civil Administration forces arrived and destroyed the Yeshiva's Beit Midrash. In the process they destroyed the Aron, the H-ly Ark and desecrated many H-ly books which were thrown around with disrespect on the floor.
Following the tragic event, the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi David Lau, addressed Security Minister Ganz
"I received information and photos that the evacuation today of the Yeshiva that was established in Chumash was done in a manner that does not respect what is most sacred in Israel. Pictures of a desecrated Ark and holy books strewn on the floor are harsh images that do not respect what is sacred for Israel. These pics are unworthy for a Jewish State wrote the Rav to Security Minister Gantz, two weeks ago.
Lawyers from the Honenu organization are assisting the detainees, and are working to release them. The harrassment of Yeshiva students are incomprehensible. This Yeshiva has existed for 15 years. Many MKs and ministers have visited in support, each man with his GSS security guards. The IDF and the police also accompanied them with great respect. So what happened now? Who gave the orders for such a surprising order now and why? "Asked the Honenu organization."
Comments: (from Robin Ticker blogger)
I asked around why harassment of Settlers and their kids seem to be on the rise recently.
Here is an answer I received anonymously which seems to make sense.
"My opinion is that the government wants to dry up Yitzhar and other settlements out there that might not go easy when the government decides to give the area away in some type of peace deal.
This is my personal opinion."
Perhaps this is a litmus test to see if they can push A Judenrein Palestinian State in Judea and Samaria as per the enormous pressures being exerted on Israel to do so.
My Question: Is the demolition of the Yeshiva the price we are paying for this "lucrative" Emerites deal with the Shomron whose leadership will perhaps now be silent about the destruction of this Yeshiva in Chomesh. We all know divide and conquer is the modus operandi to weaken the resolve of the Settlers. It worked with Gush Katif. These leaders in the Shomron must speak out forcefully and strongly condemn the destruction of this Yeshiva, and the continued harassment of the Rabbonim and the students. As history has taught us, time will prove that being passive to the demolishing of any structure in Judea and Samaria just leads to further destruction down the road. Not speaking out is speaking out and who knows, who is next? They should not have pink colored glasses..

Samaria's New Business Tie
is a Win for the Region
Samaria Regional Council chairman Yossi Dagan visited Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, accompanying wine and honey producers from Samaria in order to create business ties between the UAE and Samaria.
This resulted in companies from Samaria signing an agreement to export wine, honey, olive oil and tahini to the UAE, through the Emirates company FAM, which was selected by Forbes magazine as one of the 100 leading growth companies in the Middle East.
The Samaria Regional Council is the first municipal authority in Israel to succeed in signing export agreements to the UAE and was also the first to travel to the UAE with a delegation of businessmen to promote economic ties through export agreements.
Dagan said, "We are making history. We are opening a new economic page between the most excellent companies in Samaria and FAM. I am very excited and happy with how things stand. Samaria strives to lead in all areas, and also in the field of export and business development. This is a historic moment. The Samaria region that I am proud to represent is located in the heart of the State of Israel, and is the most demographically growing region in Israel and economically it is also growing."
Original post from Honenu in Hebrew
*שוב: נהרסה הישיבה בחומש - רבנים ותלמידים מהישיבה נעצרו ונלקחו לתחנת המשטרה יחד עם ספר התורה*
כוחות מג"ב, מינהל אזרחי ומשטרה הרסו היום (ב') בשעות הצהרים את מבני ישיבת חומש. הכוחות הגיעו שוב למקום, שהם מלווים בשופל, הפריעו לשיגרת הלימוד בישיבה ובנוסף עצרו במקום שניים מרבני הישיבה ומספר תלמידים. לאחר מכן הרסו הכוחות במקום מספר מבנים של הישיבה. הכוחות לקחו את העצורים שהם עם ספר התורה של הישיבה לתחנת המשטרה באריאל.
התלמידים והרבנים נאלצו לחזיק בספר התורה בכל הדרך ובתחנת המשטרה על מנת שספר התורה לא יחולל ויתבזה.
נזכיר כי לפני כשבועיים הגיעו כוחות מג"ב ומינהל אזרחי והרסו את בית המדרש של הישיבה. במהלך ההרס הרסו הכוחות את ארון הקודש בבית המדרש וספרי הקודש של בית המדרש הושלכו לריצפה וחוללו. בעקבות האירוע הקשה פנה הרב הראשי לישראל הרב דוד לאו לשר הביטחון גנץ "הגיע אלי ידיעה ותמונות כי הפינוי היום והישיבה שהוקמה בחומש נעשה באופו שאינו מכבד את קודשי ישראל. תמונות של ארון קודש מחולל וספרי קודש מתגוללים על הרצפה הם מראות קשים שאינם ראויים למדינה יהודית", כתב הרב לגנץ לפני כשבועיים.
עורכי דין מארגון חוננו מסייעים לעצורים, ופועלים לשחרורם "ההתנכלות לתלמידי הישיבה בחומש לא מובנת. ישיבה זו קיימת כבר למעלה מ - 15 שנה. שרים וח"כים רבים הגיעו לביקורי תמיכה. איש איש עם מאבטחי השב"כ שלו. גם צה"ל והמשטרה ליוו אותם בכבוד רב. אז מה קרה כעת? מי נתן את הוראה מפתיעה כזו כעת ולמה?" שאלו בארגון חוננו.
To add insult to injury compare the macho police force against this Yeshiva in Chomesh with how the IDF deals with Arab car thieves in Jerusalem.
Then learn about the Arab Land grab from Regavim.
This is horrific. We are so silent here. When we allow the separation of our rights to our land we do so at our own peril.
