Olmert Plans to Evict Hevron Jews, Community Defiant
by Ezra HaLevi
(IsraelNN.com) Senior PA officials say they have been guaranteed by PM Ehud Olmert that Jews will be evicted from Hevrons Beit HaShalom. Residents and supporters are defiant.
WorldNetDailys Aaron Klein reported Thursday that a senior PA negotiator says he was told by Olmert's office that Beit HaShalom is on the top of the list of pending evictions to be approved at the upcoming Annapolis summit, along with several hilltop communities classified as outposts.
However, leaders and supporters of Hevrons Jewish Community declared last Sunday at a fundraising dinner in New York City that they are not only refusing to leave the legally-purchased and refurbished property, but also are in the process of preparing it for winter, despite the governments refusal to authorize the work.
Ruth Simon, an octogenarian honoree at the Manhattan dinner, disregarded the upcoming Annapolis Conference and promised to push forward with plans to expand a child-care center being built and expanded in the City of the Patriarchs. Simon said that although she never had children of her own, she is heartened that the children of Hevron will enjoy the centers in memory of her husband.
We live in Hevron not only because our ancestors are buried there, said Hevron Mayor Avraham Ben-Yosef, but because they lived there Peace plans have brought nothing but misery and grief. The real peace plan is G-ds plan.
Yossi Baumol, Director of the Hevron Fund, admitted it has been a very difficult time for Hevron these past few years. But we know that though sometimes we stand alone against the many so did our father Abraham called an Ivri (Hebrew) because he stood on one side while the whole world stood on the other.
Moshe Wertenteil, a Jewish activist honored with his wife Ilana at the dinner, hinted at future plans for the city even as plans for Annapolis were being concretized. We look forward to the purchase and population of more properties like Beit HaShalom all over the city, he said, answered by applause.
Yep, Olmert (a lawyer), will just keep giving land away until only Olmert is left. He is giving away land that was promised by GOD to Israel.
As a lawyer, his first instinct is to compromise (plea bargain) to avoid conflict.
Annapolis... a summit of "peace", alright. Why don't they just call it what it is, a summit of evil.
House of Peace?
Visit Israel and when you’re there, be sure to visit Hebron’s wonderful Jewish community.
