Dear Mrs. Ticker,Thank you for your concern regarding the settlement bashing that may occur here. As you may have heard, this was vigorously raised by several ministers and Knesset members again today, in a meeting with Premier Netanyahu.However, the struggle is difficult. The State Department is reportedly strongly opposed to the GOI trying to help these communities.It is certainly the case that sympathetic coverage in the American Jewish media and support of the American rabbinical leaders would be very, very helpful indeed.If you should manage to identify any member of the press or religious leaders who might require information or materials of one kind or another, or access to Israeli public figures, could you please free to let us know.BestSusie Dym, spokesperson for Mattot Arim

Women in Green Press Release Following the Destruction of Houses in Bat Ayin. 30-10-11
Call to the government of Israel:
Stop relating to the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria as invaders and occupiers.
This government was elected for its Zionist credentials, for its understanding that the meaning of Zionism is that the land of Israelbelongs to the nation of Israel. That axiom is the sole basis for the State of Israel's existence.
Destroying Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria weakens the government of Israel, the nation of Israel, the support for Israel in the world and our hold on every part of our land, inside the Green Line and out.
A government which calls itself "nationalistic", which declares that Judea and Samaria is the cradle of Jewish civilization, has the duty of strengthening our standing by building, expanding, and officially declaring sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. If it fails to do so, this government has betrayed its mandate and has no existential purpose.
As against the weakness of the government, the residents of Bat Ayin are strong and have commenced rebuilding their homes.
Bat Ayin will be built, the Land of Israel will be built. Netzach IsraelLoYishaker.

In previous emails we reported Netanyahu's new settlement-bashing policy as endangering 3 Judea and Samaria communities: Migron, Givat Asaf and Shchunat haUlpana. Reminder: Givat Asaf was built to commemorate 2 terror victims - a father who was fatally shot and his son Asaf killed soon afterward. Schchunt haUlpana was built to commemorate terror victim Itta Tsur and her 12-old son, the late Ephraim Tsur. Itta Tsur's husband, Yoel Tsur, shown here shaking the hand of then-President of the State of Israel Ezer Weizmann: http://www.ynet.co.il/PicServer2/20122005/804319/YE0014533_wa.jpg managed to save his younger daughters, who were injured but not killed, from the terrorists, by virtue of his extensive experience as an IDF combat officer.
Tuesday is a crucial day: By then, Netanyahu may inform Israel's High Court of Justice that he has set up a committee to review his settlement-bashing policy. Or, he may not, in which case one-thousand young Israeli parents, young children and babies, will be turned out of their homes. This will occur in the 3 communities mentioned and also in a 4th community which sadly, has again joined the list of Yesha communities in danger: Amona.

Please forward this email directly to the Ministers and MKs. If the ministers and Knesset Members get this email from many concerned people in Israel and abroad, preferably TODAY (Sun) and tomorrow (Mon), they will insist that Mr. Netanyahu do no harm to these Israeli communities. (If some of your emails return, this is because a large segment of the public is filling parliamentary inboxes to capacity!)
In fact, dozens of MKs and ministers have already urged hands-off of these positive communities, in a joint letter sent last month criticizing Netanyahu's settlement-bashing policy.
Please pass this email on. And please forward this email to all MKs and ministers! (their email addresses are above -
