Received this email today with an appeal for help for Moshe and Rachel Saperstein, former residents of Neve Dekalim, Gush Katif.

Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2006 11:09:43 +0200
Subject: Please act on this for a Gush Katif couple

Many of you know the Sapersteins. Rachel has served as a spokesperson for fellow former-Neve Dekalim residents since the expulsion and has been collecting money to help them. (Before the expulsion she was a spokesperson inside Gush Katif.) Moshe is disabled because of a terrorist attack. They are very special people and deserve a lot better than they’re getting. It takes just a short time to send an e-mail or fax. And please send this to everyone you know, and put it on your lists. Of course, draft your own message as fits you and is appropriate. read more

O’ Precious Key

Excerpts;

“We are still in the hotel room that we call home. Little by little families are moving out to join their friends and neighbors from Neve Dekalim already living in the Nitzan trailer camp. We watch the hotel trolley carrying out the last of the valises, the plastic drawers on wheels, the children’s clothing thrown into supermarket bags, the Shabbat dresses still on hangars. The contents of the ship container have already been unpacked and placed, a bit askew, into the small trailers. Larger pieces are stored in a backyard shed. The cars are loaded, the children pile in, and we wave goodbye.” read more

From Hotels To Nitzan – by Rachel Saperstein, Neve Dekalim/Nitzan

Excerpts;

“The cartons and suitcases had been trucked in a week earlier. Family, friends, teenage volunteers, two granddaughters and my eighty-nine year old mother in law arrived to begin the process of moving into the notorious ‘caravilla’ that we will call home for the next two to three years. The Expulsion Authority had sent us our final warning: leave the hotel or we will cease payment for your stay. We took a few extra days to put our caravan into order so that we would move into a livable home.” read more

Parsha Va’etchanan 5770 — Consolation: After Expulsion of Jews by Israeli Governance?

moshe

by Moshe Burt

The Haftorah for our Parsha begins, “Nachamu, Nachamu Ami yomar Elokeichem” — “Comfort, comfort my people — says your G’d.” (Yishaiya, 40:1) This sentiment seems to be silent, but yet a theme of Parsha Va’etchanan.

In the beginning of Parsha, Moshe Rabbeinu recalls for the B’nai Yisrael how he entreated Hashem for permission to cross the Jordan River but that his request was denied. Instead, he was consoled by viewing the Land from Mount Pisgah. (L’lmod Ul’Lamed – Parsha Va’etchanan, page 161) read more

Regime/SELA Authority Libel: “87% of Gaza Evacuees Have Housing Solutions”

moshe

.
Commentary:

On Wednesday, the Regime and its SELA Disengagement Authority was cited by the Jerusalem Post beat reporter Tova Lazaroff as reporting:

Some 87 percent of the Gaza evacuee families have housing solutions and the other 13 percent are in the process of concluding agreements with the Disengagement Authority for their permanent homes, the Authority said on Wednesday.

It made the statement as it released 250 new housing lots in Nitzanim, located between Ashkelon and Ashdod.

However, Katifund.org’s Dror Vanunu, as well as former residents like Anita Tucker or Moshe and Rachel Saperstein would undoubtedly respond: read more

Kadima/Labor Political Rhetoric of de-Legitimizing, de-Humanizing of Jews

.
Commentary:

Amidst his mourning over the loss of his son and daughter-in-law in last week’s Mumbai Chabad House terror attack, Rabbi Nachman Holtzberg issued an urgent plea to outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to stop plans to expel the Jewish residents of the Hevron Peace House.

In his plea, Rabbi Holtzberg beseeched Olmert;

“At the same time we are mourning for our dear children…who merited in their lives and in their deaths to bring wonderful unity to the People of Israel and to bring everyone closer in love and truth, and who were sacrificed on the holy altar of the Almighty before the eyes of every nation, …we plead in every way possible that you not carry out any action that will polarize and cause a schism to the People of Israel, that would cause in the time of mourning of all the People of Israel.” read more

Barak, Mofaz vs Livni: Welcome to the WWF, Israel-Style

moshe

.

Commentary;

This author is no fan of either Ehud Barak or Shaul “One Foot Out the Door” Mofaz. But Mofaz is totally right regarding Livni, the Mossad House-sitter. She’s a lightweight contesting for a job way over her head and way over her intellectual and moral capability to perform.

Consider these comments by Mofaz, Barak and Livni in Gil Hoffman’s JPost report;

“Security does not mean just being a military man,” Livni told the Web site. “It’s looking beyond and evaluating a situation while taking into account regional, socioeconomic, and military processes, preparing systems and using good sense and judgment that is not based on familiarity with just one field. It means asking the right questions and finding solutions to problems. That’s what is required in a leader.” read more

A Day in the Refugee Camp by Rachel Saperstein, Neve Dekalim/Nitzan

Excerpts;

A year and three months have passed since our expulsion from Gush Katif. We live in the refugee camp of Nitzan between Ashdod and Ashkelon. This plywood “caravilla” is not our home. In two or more years Moshe and I will once again receive our notice of eviction. As of today not one person has received permission to build permanent housing. Work is in progress on infrastructure in the upper heights of Nitzan but lots have yet to be allocated. Settlement in the Lachish area has been stalled. The hill called “Egoz” has been declared a ‘green’ area, a ‘military’ area, an ‘electrical pylon’ area. We must look for another hill. When we visit the Lachish area we see in the distance hundreds of Arab homes that have been built willy-nilly on every hill and dale. There is barely a Jewish presence in the area. Meanwhile we continue to live in the refugee camp. read more
