IN the Economist April 26th, 2008 issue page 65 it was reported that this month Israel agreed to let the Palestinian Authority (PA) open 20 police stations in the West Bank. For the first time since the Palestinians violent second intifada began eight years ago, they will be in rural areas, where Israel, not the PA is in charge of security. Last month Israel also gave the PA permission to deploy 620 special forces troops in the northern West Bank city of Jenin home to some of the most diehard Palestinian militants.
It is all part of a $5.4 billion plan meant to speed the arrival of a Palestinian state. Israel is negotiating a "framework agreement" (no longer a fully fledged peace deal, as planned last autumn) with the PA's president, Mahmoud Abbas.
WOW a lot has happened in one month while we were all busy preparing and celebrating the Passover Holiday.
The Economists also reports that the green light for the new police stations and deployment in Jenin came only after a lot of American pressure on Israel to give Mr. Abbas a chance to prove himself.
5.4 billion dollars is a lot of money. I am sure you agree. It can wreak much havoc on the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews living in Judea and Samaria who will be displaced not to mention the rest of Israel who will be within rocket range, if Mr. Abbas does NOT prove himself.
And we have excellent reason to believe that Mr. Abbas will not prove himself.
That reason has its source based on the Torah. Military and other experts will support with strong arguments as to why Mr. Abbas will not prove himself. Yet the Torah is the root reason. The Torah can not be negotiated away. You don't have to be an observant Jew to believe in the Torah, You don't even have to be Jewish. The Land of Israel is the PROMISED LAND. It is also called the HOLY LAND. It is a gift of G-d to the Jewish People, promised to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob exclusively. It is a Holy Land when the Nation of Israel observe the commandments in the Land of Israel and the Land of Israel is a necessary ingredient for the observance of many of the commandments such as Shemittah, the Sabbatical year. These commandments are known as Mitzvoth Teluyot Baaretz, commandments dependent on the Land.
The blessings for the observance of these commandments is peace and prosperity. The failure of observance of these commandments is lack of peace and security, which seems to be the present situation of today. The Land of Israel has never produced and will never produce for any foreign authority, peaceful loving Palestinians or other, as the Torah has stated and as history has shown. Gush Katif in the Gaza strip is a perfect example. Once a thriving productive piece of land with an abundance of produce, bug free lettuce, tomatoes, flowers etc, exports in the millions if not more. Now it is the breeding ground for Al Qaieda and Hamas a launching site for rocket and mortar attack against "proper Israel" whatever "proper Israel" means. The name Green Line was coined since upon looking at Israel from an aerial perspective, the part of Israel that was under Israel's jurisdiction was green due to the abundance of produce. The other side of the line not under Jewish sovereignty was barren.
As leaders of the Jews, who have the mandate to be the Mamlechet Kohanim, a Kingdom of Priests for all the other nations, will YOU stand idly by when 5.4 billion dollars is at the very best being wasted and almost certainly being used for destructive purposes. Will you continue to sit silently or even endorse this Roadmap which continues to empower terror and terrorists and bring destruction to humanity, G-d Forbid, all in the name of "Peace"?

Dear Howard Rieger, Joseph Kanfer, Malcolm Hoenlein, June Walker, John Ruskay, Russell Robinson and Ronald Lauder.
We must take the consequences of our actions or inactions. All of you are major players in Major Jewish Mainstream organizations that supported the gov't of Israel's policies of the disengagement in your official job capacity.
Now, you must own up to your decision to support the gov't of Israel's policy and deal with the negative consequences of the Disengagement from the Gaza Strip. It is highly immoral to simply walk away now. .
Demand that the gov't of Israel deliver on its promise to a solution for every individual of Gush Katif. Demand that every debt to pay off a personal mortgage or business loan be taken over by the gov't or your organization. Forcing the expellees to pay for the loans and mortgages on their property and businesses that was destroyed by the gov't is despicable.
Then demand permanent housing for these wandering Jews and significant assistance to these Jews.
Finally speak out loud and clear when the gov't acts in the same manner evicting innocent families from their homes in Judea and Samaria for no other apparent purpose than to appease our enemy or to please American Foreign Policy.
Isn't it glaring to you that the Disengagement has compromised Israel's National Security with Kassam rockets and mortars reaching population centers in Sderot and Ashkelon. As representing the Jewish voice, it is your obligation to express your dismay publicly and denounce the "peace talks" and "land for peace" as being nothing more than a catalyst to the increase of terror and aggression and antisemitism not only in Israel but throughout the world.

Action Alert from Buddy. Still no homes for Gush Katif Jews. Still obligated to pay back loans after gov't destroys
bs"d
Let me add to Buddy's letter that it's totally disgusting that after the gov't so efficiently destroyed their means of Parnassa, their livelihood, the farmers are still required to pay back the loans and the mortgages on their homes and businesses in Gush Katif. Demand that in addition to finding permanent housing for the people of Gush Katif, that their loans be released on the property and businesses that the gov't destroyed. Why should these honest hard working individuals have their credit ruined due to no fault of their own. Let the gov't take responsibility for these people's inability to pay their debts.

Subject: Still no homes for Gush Katif Jews
"Disengagement" from the Gaza Strip was completed on August 22, 2005 and from northern Samaria a day later. It is now 1,000 DAYS since our fellow Jews were expelled from their homes, yet inconceivably, and tragically so, building of permanent houses for most of the expellees HAS NOT EVEN BEGUN!
Please write to Howard Rieger, Joseph Kanfer, Malcolm Hoenlein, June Walker, John Ruskay, Russell Robinson and Ronald Lauder.
howard.rieger@ujc.org,joseph.kanfer@ujc.org,malcolm@conferenceofpresidents.org,
jwalker@hadassah.org,ruskayj@ujafedny.org,rrobinson@jnf.org,rlauder@jnf.org,vegibud@gmail.com
Ask them what they have done LATELY to address the ongoing tragedy of the expellees from Gush Katif.
Ask them what would happen to the up to 250,000 Jews who would be expelled from their homes should Olmert agree to "Palestinian" demands.
Demand immediate, SIGNIFICANT ASSISTANCE TO THE EXPELLEES.
Demand that they publicly say "NO" TO THE TWO-STATE "SOLUTION."
Thank you so much.
Buddy Macy - 973-785-0057
Shalom, שלום
There will be a march from Yad Mordechai Junction to Erez Roadblock this coming Sunday (Isru-Chag Pesach - 22 Nissan [27 April]) starting at 4pm - the former residents of Gush Katif will scream "Until When Will We Be Without a House?" ... "1000 days after the uprooting, most of us haven't even started building the new house".

How to write an effective letter to the Editor - a must read for activists.
| tbs"d bs"d Dear Friends, amv"sh Thank you Aliza for sending me these links on tips on how to write an effective letter to the editor so that it will be published. I urge all fellow activists to take the time to read these very important suggestions straight from the experts at Honest Reporting and Camera. Aliza Karp writes: below i have pasted links to valuable instructions for writing to the editor with publication as your goal. i will add that giving Tzedaka before hand will also add to success.
writing letters to the media is something that anyone can do. once you get printed - you make a very big impact! and yet it is something you can do by yourself or together with people you know. you do not have to tell the heads of organizations how to do their job - because when it comes to writing to the editor - anyone can do it and anyone can make an impact... but as i said before, it takes time, training and concentration to write a letter that will get printed.
studying the information on the links below is the first step.
Kol Tuv, aliza
