Dear Knesset Members and Roshei Yeshivot, amv"'sh
Yasher Koach!
Thank you for your letters to Netanyanu to build up Judea and Samaria.
Let me suggest a novel approach which initially might be met with resistance but upon reflection makes a lot of sense.
I am referring to a public debate about establishing a legitimate new Yesha Autonomy, a prototype government in Judea and Samaria based on Torah. Surely such a novel idea can not be implemented on a large scale initially. That is why, in this writers opinion, it is not practical or advisable to implement the dream of Jews for generations on the entire State when there are many afraid of this concept who will sabotage any efforts in this direction. Many roadblocks will be encountered and it takes a motivated population to work out the bugs.
Anavim Anavim Higea Hazman Legeulascham, Veim Ein Atem Maaminim, Reu ki Ohr Zoreach.
Whether or not the State of Israel chooses to abandon the residents of Judea and Samaria and especially when it does choose to abandon them and chooses not to protect them it appears that the time has come to speak about an independent Yesha Authority that is a sister to the State of Israel. This public debate takes on an added urgency when Fayyad's plan is embraced by the State Dept. and several European governments to unilaterally declare Palestinian independence in Judea, Samaria and Gaza and Jerusalem in 2 years (as reported by Caroline Glick).
It would be our hope and dream that this Yesha Autonomy will govern using Torah as it's guide and will have Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches as well as a militia to defend itself against all aggression be it Kassam and Yassam. That is the the basic idea and the details will need to be brainstormed and worked out by Torah Scholars, Political Theorists, Economists and those that are well researched in Hebraic Law and Mishpat Ivri.
Surely this Yesha autonomy will be a much friendlier neighbor to the State of Israel than an autonomous Palestinian Authority who wishes the destruction of the Jewish State and glorifies suicide bombers by naming their schools after Shahids. Surely they won't make murderers of innocent Jews who happen to be Torah teachers of little children into heroes and martyrs and surely they won't condemn Israel's right to self defense. Surely they won't create a War Zone to bombard Israel as what happened when we gave away Gush Katif. They will simply continue to be model communities living in Judea and Samaria that live their lives based on the observance of Torah and Mitzvoth
The residents of Judea and Samaria have suffered from intolerable acts long enough! Either they receive their full rights and entitlements as members of the Jewish faith who rightfully are living in their homeland or they separate from those that have taken measures to take away their property, their communities and their freedom to live and grow and practice their religion in peace and security.
As Knesset members, and as Rabbinic Leaders, together with Jews from around the world we must unite to legitimize Jewish entitlement to Judea and Samaria at any cost. This is for the benefit of not only the Jewish people and the Jewish State but also to the entire world. This must happen even if it means separating from the State of Israel especially as long as the State of Israel is acting as a puppet to foreign forces and acting in a self destructive manner.
More ideas regarding this novel approach are forthcoming and all those that wish to contribute are most welcome.
This will be posted on shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com
Shabbat Shalom to those of us in Chutz LeAretz and Shavua Tov to those of us in Eretz Yisroel.
Sincerely, Robin Ticker as per discussion with Shmuel Koenig

THESE GOOD ISRAELI MK'S DESERVE TO GET A NICE NOTE FROM YOU…
Mattot Arim has learned that 29 Knesset Members from 6 factions (i.e. essentially everybody except ministers, Labor, Meretz and Arabs) just wrote a joint ideological letter to the Prime Minister about the importance of building up Judea and Samaria. It is very important to write and thank these upstanding, Zionist MKs. The full list of signatories has been obtained by Mattot Arim and it is as follows:
Haim Katz, Zion Pinian, Yariv Levin, Ofir Akunis, Miri Regev, Zeev Elkin, Dany Danon, Ayoub Kara, Motz, Anastasia, Lia ShemTov, Dudu Rotem, Hamed Amar, Orly Levi-Abekasis, Faina Kirshenbaum, Alex Miller, David Azulay, Avraham Michaeli, Yizhak Vaknin, Haim Amsalem, Nissim Zeev, Ketzaleh, Uri Orbach, Zevulun Orlev, Aryeh Eldad, Uri Ariel, Michael Ben-Ary, Uri Maklev, Zipi Hotovely
The email addresses of all these MKs are above (scroll up to the Hebrew). All are asked to write to them and congratulate them on their positive action. You can say you heard about it from Mattot Arim.
