Supreme Court: Expellees Must be Paid

Excerpt;

The High Court ruled today (Thursday) in favor of the homeless residents on a petition brought by Atty. Yossi Fuchs of the Land of Israel Legal Forum and several residents. They had maintained that though their requests for an advance compensation payment had been approved by the relevant committee, the Disengagement Authority suddenly added another condition that most of the former residents cannot meet: The Authority demanded that they sign a form stating they had left their former homes within 48 hours of having been ordered to do so. read more

“Preparations are underway for a massive sit-in strike in Jerusalem to protest the government apathy towards the expellees. It will be run under the banner of “All Israel are Guarantors for One Another,” and the organizers say it is not designed for youths – who should be in school – nor for Knesset Members, who have other ways of waging the struggle. Registrants are asked to specify if they can remain for only three days, or for longer. For details, call 09-7921290.” read more
