Roads in Judea and Samaria for Palestinians Only
Excerpts;
“Makor Rishon newspaper Correspondent Chagai Segel reports today that the Ministry of Defense is planning to close off many roads to Israeli traffic in Judea and Samaria under a plan to separate Israeli and Palestinian road networks called ‘Everything Flows’“.
“While the plan has yet to be presented to the Council of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria [YESHA Council], they have learned, for example, that the plan includes closing sections of Route 60 to Israeli traffic so that a Jew living in Shilo or Alon Moreh desiring to reach Jerusalem would first have to drive to the Jordan Valley.”

“Tensions ran high as settlers geared up to resist the forcible evacuation of Jewish families living in Palestinian homes located in a former wholesale market in the city.”
“Sunday was the last day the eight Jewish families could leave the Mitspe Shalhevet outpost of their own accord; if they failed to do so, they would have to be forcibly removed by security forces.”
“While a definite date for the evacuation has yet to be set, settlers in Hebron’s Jewish community quarter assessed that the evacuation was imminent. In recent days, dozens of Israeli supporters have arrived in the city in an attempt to prevent the evacuation from occurring.”
“Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert responded to the recent violence in the West Bank during the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday. He … instructed the heads of the security establishment to act assertively in preventing the continuation of such phenomena. ‘The state of Israel is a state of law and whoever raises his hand will be severely punished …'”

Olmert Chooses Again to Blast Jews of Judea and Samaria
Excerpts;
“Opening today’s Cabinet meeting, Acting PM Ehud Olmert made a militant statement against the Jews of Hevron, instructing the security forces to take ‘all necessary measures’ against them.”
“At today’s Cabinet meeting, Olmert related to yesterday’s violence in Hevron, threatening an iron hand against the Jews living there. Hevron’s Jews say they refuse to accept the army’s plans to evict 11 families from Jewish-owned land outside the Avraham Avinu neighborhood. A Hevron spokesman said that Olmert is causing a provocation, sending the forces to fight against the Jews and throwing them out of their homes, and then condemning and threatening the Jews for resisting.”

Hevron Police: Use All Means to Expel Jews from Their Homes
Excerpts;
“The spokesman for the Israeli police in Judea and Samaria told Israel’s Channel 2 television station that police will use all the means at their disposal to expel Jews living in the Hevron market.”
“Though the Supreme Court has ruled that the property is in fact owned by Jews, the court ordered the government to evict the Jewish residents because they entered the property without government authorization.”
“The threat of eviction has provoked disturbances among Hevron’s Jewish residents, many of whom are still traumatized by the forced expulsion of 10,000 Jewish residents from their homes in Gaza and northern Samaria last August.”
“Meir Indor, Yesha (Judea and Samaria) activist and head of Almagor, an organization that assists victims of Arab terror, said that he was shocked by the police’s willingness to use all means to expel Jews from their homes.”
“Indor said the police’s willingness to evict Jews stands in sharp contrast to the recent statement by IDF Chief-of-Staff, Dan Halutz, that Israel cannot use all the means at its disposal to prevent the firing of Kassam rockets on Jewish communities bordering the Gaza district.”

“‘In recent days we see radical elements assaulting IDF and defense establishment personnel,’ Olmert said. ‘I ordered security forces to act decisively to prevent the continuation of this phenomenon.'”
Commentary;
To Acting PM Olmert, what kind of ‘unthinkable deeds’? Defending one’s Jewish right to Jewish Land? This author has seen more than enough vindictive invective from you villifing and discrediting and dehumanizing my heroic brethren, the JEWS of Chevron, particularly those of the Mitzpe Shalehevet neighborhoood. But then, that’s always been the strategy against the JEWS. Hitler employed this strategy, thus legitimizing his “final solution.”
Rabin told the JEWS to “spin like propellers” before he and Peres handed Jewish Land to the “p.a.(sic)” in the Oslo Agreements and Sharon and Olmert villified the JEWS of Gush Katif who were until 15 August, 2005, a highly spiritual and productive segment of the Nation of Israel, a huge economic asset which Sharon and Olmert irresponsibly frittered away.
And now Olmert villifies and dehumanizes the JEWS who have held tightly to the front lines on behalf on kol Klal Yisrael against Arab terror, even as their own government has harrassed and persecuted them for years.
Ehud Olmert and his Kadima spinners; totally empty, totally without shame, without any Jewish dignity, hearts or souls. And their talk of “Israel’s Democracy” — bogus Regime propaganda.
JEWS, remember this in light of the new attempts at expulsion. And JEWS hold these feelings, your Jewishness, Jewish pride and self-esteem when you vote on 28 March. This man and this party must go down to abject political defeat! MB
