Gaza Evacuees Said Suffering Rampant Emotional Problem

Excerpts:

“Settlers evacuated during the disengagement are suffering from a variety of serious emotional problems, but are receiving little or no treatment, according to a report by the Legal Forum for the Land of Israel.”

“For instance, the report said, people with special needs who were assisted by social workers from the Gaza Coast Regional Council are currently not receiving any such help, in part because their case files are in storage and therefore inaccessible.” read more

Harassment By Mail – by Rachel Saperstein, Neve Dekalim / Jerusalem Gold Hotel

Excerpts:

“A letter arrived from the Bezek Telephone Company. We will have to pay a penalty of IS 280, the letter stated, for breaking our one-year contract for internet use.“The government through us out in August” we countered. ‘They destroyed our phone lines. Sue the government for breach of contract.’ We are awaiting their reply.”

“Twenty-three Neve Dekalim families received a letter from SELAH – The Expulsion Authority. ‘We don’t deny you lived in Neve Dekalim. But you rented privately rather than through the local council. So you are not entitled to housing in Nitzan, or compensation of any kind. You have six days to vacate your hotel!’” read more

Homeless in the Homeland

Excerpts:

“The government’s decision to work with evacuees as individuals rather than as communities has been widely criticized by several Israeli non-governmental organizations, including the Israel Legal Forum, the social service agency Lema’an Achai, and Jewish Family Services, Israel. According to a report compiled by Arlene Kushner for the Israel Resource News Agency, The Disengagement Authority, SELA, insisted on negotiating compensation only with individual families and refused requests from leaders of Gush Katif communities to allow the Israel Legal Forum to negotiate on their behalf as communities.” read more

New National Mission: Employment for Expellees

Excerpts:

“An article on Katif.net describes the sorry situation:

‘Today, three months after the terrible expulsion, many of those who were thrown out of their homes have no home, no work, and no income. People who were used to getting up early in the morning to go to work, now find themselves walking aimlessly around, ashamed to look into their children’s eyes and tell them they have no money because for three months they have been living in hotel rooms or in temporary homes supplied by the government without a place of work or income… ‘” read more

Knesset Rejects Sharon’s Appointments, Olmert Appointment Ratified, Sharon Vows Consequences Against Likud Rebels

Excerpts regarding “Compromise”;

“The Likud mediators, MKs Gideon Sa’ar and Michael Eitan, will present a proposal on Monday in the Likud Knesset faction that they hope will guarantee the party six months without disputes. But the proposal makes no mention of Monday’s vote, and Likud rebel MKs said that they would accept the proposal but oppose the appointments, almost guaranteeing the appointments’ failure.” read more

Bassi Touts Housing Plan for Evacuees

This short critique, including quotes from the linked article, assuredly doesn’t nick surface of all of the dis-information, mis-information, mal-feasance, non-feasance, graft and corruption of Bassi and his “authority.” MB

Bassi: “Some 450 families are still in hotels awaiting such homes”

What about all of the families in tent cities, Ir Emuna, Rented Apartments, etc.? There are many hundred families more than 450 awaiting viable, temporary, communal solutions. MB read more

Double Meaning of Sukkot For Expulsion Victims

The government of Israel is still deliberately foot-dragging and denying the Jewish refugee families (that they forcibly expelled at legalized gunpoint from Gush Katif and the Shomron) compensation and resettlement solutions. The government’s aim: to deliberately fight a war of attrition against the refugees in effort to force them to split up, to divide and conquer, thus destroying productive Torah communities. And many refugees are starting to draw parallels between their plight and the ongoing 20 plus year plight of Jonathan Pollard. read more

Police Dismiss Officers Recruited for Disengagement Duty

It seems that the overwhelming majority of refugee families from Gush Katif and the Shomron towns who have yet to receive shekel one of compensation are not the only ones being lied to by the Sharon regime. Now it seems that some of their evictors, 280 of the new Border Guard officers who had been hired with the promise that their employment would be long-term beyond the “disengagement,” are now being terminated. The terminations are under the guise of “severe financial constraints in the police department, under whose auspices the Border Guards fall.” read more

Update: According to the latest report, State of [Evicted] Gush Katif, Northern Gaza and Northern Shomron Communities Report #11, Minister of Science and Technology Matan Vilnai was contacted and the matter of the 30,000 NIS burial of Hezi Chazani was handled by Vilnai’s office. “Vilnai’s staff is eager to let the public know that if, G-d forbid, another evacuee dies, his family will not have to pay to have their loved one buried.”

One small little problem, the matter has not been handled as yet and if it is not handled by 25 October, there will be no tombstone on the grave. My sources express grave doubt that the Chazani family will ever see these funds from the government, and just as none but a very few number of evictees have seen any compensation from the government, the overwhelming majority of evictees face court fights for years in efforts to recover that which is due them, that which has been stolen from them. read more

The article Leave Lili Alone drives home the fact that a caste society exists in Israel; for Leftist effetes there is total democracy and for their opponents for which there is a police state. The current crop of corrupt, self-interested, agendized politicians have cast the Religious in total negative, sub-human terms. Why should Arik Sharon and his deceased wife be any more privileged than the 10,000 Jews he evicted at legalized gunpoint and now taunts and mistreats by withholding the compensation that they are entitled to? And why should his deceased wife be any more privileged than the deceased Gush Katif residents which he hard-heartedly uprooted from their graves? Leaders lead by example and the current prime minister is a poor example of a national leader! read more
