BS"D
Dear Rabbanim and Media, amv"sh
Another Gush Katif? Another Amona? Let us do what we can to prevent the expulsion of hundreds of families rather than merely express our concern and share their pain after the fact! I cc: rather than bcc Rabbonim and Media people, who in the past have shown their support and solidarity with the settlers of Judea and Samaria since you are individuals of influence that shape public opinion and you have an added achraius, obligation and responsibility, to stop evil decrees using your pulpit or media to report, publicize and lend support to those who act to stop these evil decrees.
Public Relations shapes policy as Caroline Glick points out in her post entitled Marketing of Gilad Schalit. The Rabbanim and Media are officers in the PR War against terror. There is an ongoing PR War that is attacking our entitlement of Judea and Samaria. It is being fought in the United Nations and on College Campuses and in the Media. The Torah perspective is the most powerful weapon we have that can win this war.
The battle is raging and we have yet to effectively fight back using our strongest weapon.
Public prayers for the hundreds of families whose homes are in danger
PM Netanyahu and his ministers have yet to shelve the destruction ordersagainst at least 3 communities - Givat Asaf, Ulpana at Bet-El, and Migron.
Public prayers at Givat Assaf (near Bet-El) tomorrow Thu 27 Sept 3 pm - 5 pm.
PM Netanyahu and his ministers are cordially invited to come and announce the annulling of the settler-bashing orders. Please pass this invitation along to Mr. Netanyahu via his Likud colleagues -- email addresses above in the Hebrew section

Dear Friends
Below is information sent to us by the Givat Asaf Action committee,
concerning the struggle to prevent the destruction of the community of
Givat Asaf and other communities. Please forward this email to all.
You will find:
1) a call to come and participate in the mass prayer in Givat Asaf
this coming Thurday October 27th at 3:00pm, at Givat Asaf
2) a text explaining the background of what is happening
3) a list of all cellphones of ministers and members of Knesset.
Don't be shy! Call them and tell them that it is their obligation to
prevent the destruction of Givat Asaf. Every call has an influence. If
they don't answer, send them a text message. For those calling from
abroad, dial international-972-and then the cellphone number without
the first zero.
4) For Hebrew speakers: register to receive updates from the Givat
Assaf action committee: send an email to mate.g.asaf@gmail.com and
send a text message to cellphone 052-3274026 with your name and phone
number so that if G-d forbid, the troops will come to destroy Givat
Assaf, we will all be able to receive calls, day or night, and we will
come en masse, bypassing the roadblocks, to protect Givat Assaf.
With love for Israel,
Yehudit Katsover 050-7161818 Nadia Matar 050-5500834
--------------------------------------------
1) THURSDAY OCTOBER 27th at 3:00pm in GIVAT ASSAF: MASS PRAYER
sponsored by tens of Rabbis
2) Givat Asaf A Primer
1. Givat Asaf was established just over ten years ago following
numerous terrorist attacks in the area, culminating with the murder of
Asaf Chaim Hershkovitz (may G-d avenge his blood) on the 8th of Iyar
5761.
2. There are currently 25 families residing here, including
almost one hundred children.
3. A few months ago, the Israeli government made a commitment to
the Israel Supreme Court to expel us from our community and to destroy
our dwellings by the end of 2011 i.e. in approximately two months.
The Court also demanded the destruction of nearby Migron by March
2012, and the destruction of Givat HaUlpana in Beit El by April 2012.
All in all, 160 families.
4. The deportation and destruction are grounded in a "legal"
argument that we are "land thieves" sitting on private Arab property
-- a claim that is baseless and untrue.
a) The Land of Israel was given to the People of Israel by G-d.
b) The properties in question were never bought by any Arab; they
were distributed arbitrarily by King Hussein of Jordan during the
early sixties, in an attempt to consolidate his rule.
c) This distribution of land has no standing under international
law, nor even under Jordanian law. In fact, the only court system that
gives any weight to Hussein's gifts is the Israel court system.
d) No Arab has ever made a demand for the land upon which Givat
Asaf is built.
e) Moreover, even if there were such a demand, legal precedents
abound for an equitable solution that does not involve deportation and
destruction. Namely, financial compensation to the land owner.
5. Three months ago, the Israel Supreme Court instructed the
government to include in its plans for destruction and deportation all
homes built on land that is not registered as state-owned land. In
practice, this means that approximately 3500 families resident
throughout Judea and Samaria are affected.
6. We in Givat Asaf are not deterred and do not intend to play
along. We are working in a variety of ways to defend our community,
and we understand well that if G-d forbid, Givat Asaf falls, the
appetites of those who want to destroy all Jewish settlement will be
inflated.
7. The first and foremost area of activity is in the spiritual
domain, and we implore the entire public to wake up and pray for the
success of our struggle, upon which the future of all the settlements
hangs.
8. Secondly, we call on all lovers of Eretz Yisrael: If we are
attacked, please see to it that you come to Givat Asaf in any possible
mannner. The presence of masses of people at the moment of truth is
critical both for the morale of the community and to hinder and
prevent the destruction and deportation.
