Dear Fellow Activists, avm'sh
Bibi Netanyahu has been a disappointment! He has betrayed those that voted for him. Anyone that voted with Likud should now openly break with Netanyahu and with Likud. Netanyahu as leader of the Likud party has betrayed the Jewish Nation. He has many times publicly offered to give away our birthright for a pot of lentils (promises of peace). He is now establishing facts on the ground. A Freeze on Jewish Settlement in Judea and Samaria is a serious concrete step in actualizing his willingness to establish a Palestinian State and is a crime against the Jewish people. He has gone too far. He has overstepped his boundaries.
It's time to bring down this Likud government with Netanyahu at the head and bring in its place a government based on Torah!
Women in Green's reaction to the decision to Freeze the Settlements:
Bibi, today you have strengthened Ahemdinajad.
You have made the Iranian threat greater.
You caved in first; you showed great weakness.
We call upon the Likud to rise to the challenge to not follow Bibi.
Stand up and stay loyal to the Zionist principles!
Don't betray your voters! Don't betray the Land of Israel!
Am Israel is strong. Get your strength from the people.
The People of Israel will continue to build, settle and expand across the Land of Israel

Declaration of Sovereignty of the Jewish Nation on Judea and Samaria, Application of Torah Law
We hereby declare in this, in front of all the nations, the sovereignty of the Jewish Nation, and mainly of the Jewish residents actively living in the regions of Judea and Samaria, more than 120 communities amounting to more than 350,000 Jews, as sovereign regions of the Jewish State, and this is apart from the Jewish residents in Jerusalem neighborhoods and in the Golan, counting for about 250,000 additional Jews, may they increase. Sixty myriads of Jews, like the number of Jews in the Land of Israel at the time of the Declaration of the State of Israel in 5708 (1948), may it prosper and flourish.
The sovereignty declared here is reserved for the State of Israel, until it is established as the state of the Nation of G-d according to the Torah of G-d, within the regions of the Land of Israel's biblical borders.
The Torah is the foundation of the constitution of the nation of Israel as it was given at Sinai, which existed since before creation; it is the testimony of G-d's will, His actions, and His laws.
Therefore, the applicable and obligatory law in Judea and Samaria since earliest times and eternally, like in all of the Land of Israel is the law of Torah, even if foreign entities, or Jewish entities which do not recognize this law, and act according to foreign laws recognize this.
Application of the law does not require the agreement of any political or governmental authority.
The existing laws of the State of Israel in Judea and Samaria and in the Golan may remain in force as long as they do not contradict the laws of Torah.
In order to implement the laws of Torah in action, we call to all of the communities of Judea and Samaria and the Golan to set up Courts acting in accordance with Torah law. Each Court will comprise not less than three people, who keep Torah and fear G-d, despite profiteering, of public reknown, and also are representatives of the public, having been elected in electrions held for this purpose. Recommendations on the matter of management of the election process for the courts will appear in an appendix.
The government of Israel threatens that if the Arabs and the United Nations were to declare or recognize a Palestinian State, that the State of Israel may take actions steps towards annexing settlement blocks.
Such a declaration is an admission, in a roundabout manner, that Israel has the eternal residual right to impose and to implement its sovereignty in all of the Land of Israel, and it is only due to slavery to the process called the "peace process", and the misunderstanding of the State of Israel as being part of the family of nations, that Israel does not implement what is known to all, even in the core writings of Islam and Christianity, that the Land of Israel is the inheritance of the Nation of G-d, the Nation of Israel.
The cowardly policies of Israeli governments, at least since 5727 (1967), brought upon the Jewish Nation, and upon its sovereignty in the Land of Israel, the disaster, which continues to become more explicit after the Goldstone Report, whose essence is the founding of a foreign Arab state in regions of the Land of Israel which will be recognized by the nations of the world, organized in the United Nation. The Israeli governments, in their denial of the sovereign rights of the Jewish Nation on the Land of Israel, in opposition to the set covenants in the Torah between G-d and the forefathers of the nation, and the words of the prophets, and including international law decisions in the years 1920 and 1922, cause, as stated, disaster for the nation, in whose and for whose sake they pretend to speak.
Israeli governments have denied, due to political pressures, the sovereignty of the Nation of Israel on strips of land in the heart of its homeland, including Jerusalem, in that they did not actualize the Basic Law of Jerusalem. They preferred to refer to them as "occupied territories". This denial was made worse by the High Court, in their infamous decision that these strips of land are occupied territories are in a perpetual state of war until their evacuation. This perversion was used as justification for ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip by means of the expulsion and banishment of its Jewish residents, and destroying their means of livelihood. This despicable act is meant to be used as a president to permit the expulsion and banishment of Jews, and their ethnic cleansing from regions of their land, the Holy Land. These regions of land were liberated, with the help of the Creator, in war, which the Arabs initiated in the year 5727 (1967), and also in the defensive War of Independence in 5708 (1948).
This behavior presents the Jewish Nation as burglars, and its land, state, and government as war criminals.
The High Court, the Attorney General, and the haters of Israel within, aroused the recognition and courage of, what is known as the Palestinian entity, to declare statehood. Therefore the High Court, the Attorney General, and all those associated with them carry the consequences for the results and damages in life and property and removing Israel from its land, and will give accounting if and when the hand of Israel will become strengthened, with the grace of G-d.
We declare that any foreign political entity, in the regions of the Land of Israel, which is not Jewish is an illegal and temporary entity, and is destined to be uprooted.
Activities of the Israel Defense Forces against Jewish communities, their uprooting, and the exile of Jews from them, in part or whole; these actions are expressly illegal. It is easy to show that in the circumstances which have been created, according to which swaths of the Land, including the "settlement" of Gilo, are under dispute and threat of Arab and international capture.
Therefore, whomever acts towards the destruction of Jewish communities acts for the sake of foreign interests, and undermines the existence of the nation of Israel in its land, and acts against the laws of Torah, and will in the future be punished for this by the hands of Heaven.
Destruction of Jewish communities is the actualization of the call of the American government not to build in the neighborhood of Gilo. The destiny for the settlement Negohot is like that of the neighborhood of Gilo, and the destiny of the neighborhood of Rechavia and every other place in Jerusalem. Every person who is employed in the evacuation and exile and destruction is excommunicated by Heaven and excommunicated by man, and will not be designated in the community.
About this, David, King of Israel said:
Psalms 119:158 – I saw traitors, and I quarreled, for they did not observe Your word.
We are convinced that the heads of yeshivas will not be frightened from threats, and will find ways to sustain their institutions and to strengthen the trust of the yeshiva students in their chosen path, the way of Torah.
We pray that the eyes of the government, like the eyes of all people, will open up to see the difficult situation in which the nation of Israel and its state is in, and therefore it will cease any process of evacuation and plans of expulsion, and instead of this will work to spread out the flocks on the mountains of Israel, and worry for all that it is lacking.
The Jewish Nation, under its present regime, sits on the fence. It cannot, in its current state, receive any legitimacy from the nations of the world, but only earn their disdain, for it doesn't act according to divine laws, promises and covenants, which cause, G-d forbid, the punishments and curses written in the Torah.
The Iran affair is the result of the removal of the divine image from the shepherds of Israel for many years, who withheld the Nation of Israel from recognition, study, and education that the name of G-d is called upon it, and therefore the nations of the world fear it.
As long Nation of Israel does not act according to its ways, from amidst a divine spiritual identity, in holiness and purity, expressing the national spirit, the State of Israel will not be able to overcome its enemies, and G-d forbid, the curses will be fulfilled.
Deuteronomy 28 (43) The stranger in your midst will rise up high and higher, and you will go down lower and lower… (47) Because you have not served Hashem your G-d in happiness and goodness of heart from abundance… (52) And he will trouble you in all of your gates until your fortified high walls, that you trust, come down in all your land, and he will trouble you in all the gates in all the land that Hashem your G-d gave you.
We call to all Jews and all people, and all the nations and countries of the world to repent, to avoid theft, bloodshed, and sexual sins, and to accept the yoke of Torah and commandments, every nation according to what is proper for him, and to help the Nation of Israel to cherish the dust of its land, and to erect its Temple on the Temple Mount and to call together to the G-d of Israel, G-d of the world, and to announce the abandonment of perverted ideas to establish a foreign state in the Land of Israel.

My connection to this story began when I visited this hilltop of Mavo Dotan about a year ago and met David Botzer, who I knew from some of his earlier involvements as a nationalist and building Eretz Yisrael. David & Shayna Botzer have a new born baby and they are, I believe, in their late 20's, early 30's. They live on this remote green hilltop, Mavo Doatan, with only one other neighbor, an elderly man who I also had the pleasure to meet (very interesting man). On this particular day David showed us what he had built and discussed why he felt that it was important to have a presence, strategically. His plan was to bring Jewish youth from troubled homes to this facility and provide them with farm-therapy, tending to sheep, horses and some light agriculture. As one who visited him, I was humbled by his dedication to this project and the vision that he had to see it through. I left him my business card, with email and phone numbers to call if he ever needed our help, financial or otherwise.
One month later, my daughter Tamara called to tell that she spent a shabbat, with her chatan, in Mavo Dotan, on a hill, with her future brother in law David and sister in law Shayna. They were sitting in the kitchen erev shabbat and Tamara noticed my business card on the fridge in their kitchen. She was shocked when she saw it and could not figure out how it was possible that it landed on this remote hill. How this story connects to me my daughter and the Botzers is mystical. How the destruction of their farm should connect to those of us who must find the inner strength to respond to the indignity when the Israeli police send goons to destroy the property of David & Shayna Botzer is yet another question.
I spoke to David yesterday morning after I received a call from my daughter about what had happened. David is very strong and has begun to rebuild a make shift shelter so that the sheep have a small covering to protect them from today's rains.
While this story has become typical of how the authorities handle young people like the Botzers, the fact that the Israeli authorities use such extra-judicial measures and then hide in silence, is even more excruciating. No authority is finding this problematic, the army, the police, don't see this kind of lawlessness as wrong.
The way I left it with David Botzer was that he would call me in the next few days on what financial assistance he may need to begin the rebuilding process. I will be searching out in the next few days where the order originated and hope to make some noise which will arouse the attention needed for a reaction from government officials.
Now what can be done for David & Shayna Botzer. Firstly, I would recommend that all of those who are reading about this for the first time should put through a long distance call to the Botzers and express your utter shock at what was done. Next to offer them whatever support you can afford financial or other. The very least that we can do is show your concern for your fellow Jew when it is needed the most.

comments from Paul Rotenberg (Toronto)
If you have been to Israel and visited farms like this one you will understand what an outrageous and pointless act the military did in Israel today. It IS about the farm, the family, the youth who go to work on the farm (often youth in trouble in the city, and the effect is incredible) and the rights of Israelis to live in Israel . It is about the fact that the military ignored the legal process, it is about some politicians enacting their own political agendas at the expense of specific (expendable) citizens and so many more issues. But this time it is about something else as well. Read this article, and don't miss what is being said: the military came to destroy and they invited the local Arabs to do the destruction. Can you imagine the army standing around preventing crying children and their shocked mother from protecting their home while the father is away serving in the reserves, and protecting who? Protecting Arabs who were invited to have a great time dismantling a Jewish home. Can you imagine the precedent this sets? This is so perverse it makes my head spin. Meanwhile the media in Israel is making a fuss about some soldiers, at their swearing in, who put it clearly on the table that they would not take part in this kind of action. This is so twisted it is becoming unrecognizable. There is no conclusion that I could draw that adequately describes the horrific nature of what went on today and the future ramifications of it.

'A Life's Work' Destroyed in Samaria
Kislev 6, 5770, 23 November 09 08:26
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
(Israelnationalnews.com) The Botzer family, whose farm was demolished Monday morning by the military, described for Arutz Sheva Radio the loss they have suffered, saying it is far more than financial.
The Botzer farm, located adjacent to Mevo Dotan in the Shomron (Samaria) region, was destroyed Monday morning as part of the government crackdown on what have been defined as "unauthorized outposts" in lands liberated by Israel prior to the Six Day War. David and Shaina Botzer told Arutz Sheva that their farm is actually on state land within the municipal territory of Mevo Dotan , although west of the town's current residential area.
"My husband is a Navy commando and while he was planning to go to do his reserve duty, they came and dismantled his life's work. This was an animal pen worth tens of thousands of shekels. There were 50 heads of sheep there as part of an educational agricultural project that involves the area youth," Shaina said. The animal pen itself was subject to a demolition order, she said, but the order was in appeal before the proper authorities. In addition to the animal pen, the security forces also destroyed a stable that was not subject to the existing demolition order, Botzer added.
'Like a stab in the back'
"The Navy commando unit is in my husband's blood," Shaina told Arutz Sheva. "The unit is part of him and now it is hard for him to go to reserve duty. He feels like he was stabbed in the back."
Shaina was further surprised to see that the workers brought in to carry out the physical destruction of their property were Arabs from a neighboring village. "I am stunned. It is a total shock when Arabs come and dismantle a Jewish farm when so many of their homes in the village below [our farm] are illegal," she explained.
When the workers were taking down the pen, they tried to chase away the sheep, but the animals tried with all their might to remain in the enclosure. "Even after the pen was dismantled [the sheep] ran back to the area where it had stood, but they came upon a pile of rubble," Shaina Botzer said. "It is so symbolic that they tried to return home."
The Shomron Liaison Office informed Israel National News on Monday that the Botzer ranch is "an educational farm which is located in a very difficult and strategic area and is an inspiration to the region's development."
"We will continue and support the efforts of the Botzer family and those who help them secure a Jewish presence in the Northern Shomron ," the Liaison Office said. "We are now launching an emergency campaign to raise funds to rebuild the building that was destroyed."
"We are essentially protecting state land here," Shaina Botzer said, "and they took everything of ours apart. With G-d's help, we will start over again."
