Maos Chitim Campaign for Yesha communities - coordinated by Alan Hirsh
As many of you know Alan Hirsh of Brooklyn has done a phenomenal job raising funds for Maos Chitim in Yesha.
Supporting Maos Chitim in Yehudah and Shomron sends Obama and Netanyahu the message that we support Jewish settlement in ALL parts of Israel as per our Biblical entitlement and heritage. (perhaps if he gets this message he won't even start up in Jerusalem) For more information on contributing please call the number below or you can email me as well. Last year some of the monies that were necessary were borrowed and raised after the fact. Let's help Alan Hirsh make sure he can cover his costs. Thanks! Robin

Letter to the Prime Minister Netanyahu Regarding Temple Mount: on Temple Mount Awareness Day Rosh Chodesh Nisan
Prime Minister Netanyahyu:
Telephone number: 011-972-02-6705555
Fax number: 011-972-02-5664838
email address: bnetanyahu@knesset.gov.il
additional email address: PMO.HEB@it.pmo.gov.il
Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu, amv"sh Letovah
Please stand strong for Jerusalem and do not allow Obama administration to make you into a banana republic by forcing you retroactively stop approval of 1600 new building units in Jerusalem..
Hebron is intimately connected to the Temple so please stop the building freeze in Judea and Samaria,
Regarding Temple Mount:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the Temple Mount. As you know, the Temple Mount is the holiest site in the world for the Jewish people, yet the Muslim authorities, aided by Israel Police, systematically deny the right of religious expression on the Mount to all non-Moslems. On numerous occasions the High Court of Justice has upheld the Jewish people's right to pray at the site, yet the police continue to prevent this. Furthermore, Jewish visitors are harassed and degraded. This discrimination is a grave trampling of civil rights. Israeli law is not recognized by the Wakf authorities; illegal digging has destroyed priceless historical remnants of Jerusalem's Jewish history.
Please, end this travesty and allow Jewish freedom of expression at the Temple Mount. I urge you include the Temple Mount in your "Heritage Plan" of sites significant to the Jewish people.
Sincerely,
Robin Ticker

One of Izzy's last emails to me:: DANGERS OF THE FREEZE ORDER-CREEPING DISENGAGEMENT
From: Israel Kaplan <israelkaplan@yahoo.com>
Date: Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Subject: DANGERS OF THE FREEZE ORDER-CREEPING DISENGAGEMENT
To: Izzy Kaplan <israelkaplan@yahoo.com>
Dear List:
An email was sent out on this list yesterday, as to what we can and should be done to help those in Judea & Samaria who are facing serious hardships due to the Netanyahu building freeze. Since then however we are hearing voices of Knesset members that something more sinister than just a building freeze is being hatched. We alluded to the possibility of a disengagement of Yehuda & Shomron G-d forbid but it appears that these voices in the Knesset are viewing this as not so remote. The response to the freeze must be very severe in order to be effective, so please read over the information below and transmit to as many on your email lists as possible.
THANKS TO MOISHE KEMPINSKI FOR TRANSLATING THIS DOCUMENT
THE DANGERS OF THE FREEZE ORDER- CREEPING DISENGAGEMENT What began as a 10 month freeze in capitulation to the whims of the American President will become de-facto disengagement.That is the simple unequivocal truth.
In the words of Knesset memebers
1)"Whoever thinks that after ten months of a freeze, all of sudden they'll start building again, is mistaken. This is the salami method – first one slice, then another, etc." 2) "Innocent citizens who purchased apartments on paper, or land, and took out a mortgage to do so, now find themselves unable to proceed. 3) "The Defense Minister, who likes to speak about law enforcement, himself totally disregards the law. He causes the IDF Central Commander to sign an order in opposition to the Cabinet decision – which stated that it takes effect only after it is publicized – and this has yet to be done. 4) "The freeze orders were implemented in opposition to the manner stipulated by the Cabinet decision, and were not publicized beforehand as they were supposed to have been.
WHAT CAN BE DONE Suggested emergency program to be implemented immediately with the purpose of increasing the cost of such "freeze orders" and making clear to the Israeli Public its dangers.
1) Disrupting enforcement of the freeze orders by legal means – legal please, claims, and amending legislation
2) Revealing The Financial implications of such a move. Preparing significant compensation claims. Working opposite the Ministry of Finance to prepare a suitable budget.As it turns out the budget may involve many millions and possibly over one billion NIS .
3) Disrupting enforcement of the freeze by lobbying Knesset committees and opposite Knesset members and ministers. An initial position paper has already been distributed to MKs and Ministers.
4) Establishing a legal aid station at the Civil Administration for citizens who come for a hearing and don't have the necessary knowledge or ability to plead their case on their own. and establishing a Telephone hotline – gathering information on who has been hurt by the construction freeze orders and providing initial legal assistance
5) Enlisting lawyers to aid citizens and professionals (contractors, suppliers etc.) who are hurt financially by the freeze.
6) Photography – documentation. Photographing police tends to reduce the amount and level of violence. The Legal Forum has cameras spread out throughout Judea and Samaria , but we need many more in order to be on the spot and record any violence on the part of police and authorities, to be used, if necessary, as evidence against them in court. From our experience prior to the Gush Katif disengagement, we know that the government will try to (vilify the population) to portray the settlers as trying to benefit as much as possible from the public treasury. We must embark on a campaign to explain how great the damage and the injustice that is being caused to the individual citizen.
7) lobbying Knesset committees and opposite Knesset members and ministers. An initial position paper has already been distributed to MKs and Ministers.and is showing initial signs of pressure on the decision makers to change the scope of the freeze.
8) Engaging the Charedi sector – for the first time the Charedi residents of Judea and Samaria are finding themselves in the same situation as the rest of the Jewish population in the area. Pressure from their constituents on Shas and Agudat Israel coalition members may provide a significant push in the Cabinet decision making process.
IN ADDITION; 1)Publicize an information booklet on and citizen's rights in the present legal situation (1,000,000 copies).
2) Cooperation with activist organizations and providing legal aid to those actively involved in the struggle against the freeze.
)Information assemblies in the settlements
Estimated Projected expenses:
TOP PRIORITY: Hotline and the planned activity $50,000
Cameras (100) $700 each total: $70,000
Information campaign (minimal cost): $150,000
