Gov't Forces to Destroy Ramat Gilad, 4 Others Overnight
Arutz Sheva ^ | 12/12/11

Posted on 12/15/2011 12:34:01 AM PST by Eleutheria5

Government forces set out after dark Monday night to destroy five budding Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Residents of the central Samaria outpost of Ramat Gilad received a message late in the evening that Israel Police officers and IDF soldiers were "on the way" to their location first.

The residents told Arutz Sheva they believed "the army will attempt to throw us out of our homes and demolish them."

Residents of nearby Karnei Shomron and other towns in the area were alerted to the situation and reportedly began to make their way towards the site.

Michal Shoham of Ramat Gilad called on the public earlier in the day to come to the western Samarian Jewish outpost community to help its residents, amid the growing reports that the police and the military had planned to carry out evictions and demolitions at the site.

Interviewed on Arutz Sheva's Hebrew program, Shoham said there was no truth to reports that an agreement had been signed, under which two caravan mobile homes would be relocated and eight buildings would be permitted to stand. Shoham, whose father, Moshe Zar owns the land, said there had been dialogue aimed at avoiding the demolitions -- but no agreement had been reached.

Ramat Gilad is one of two outposts named for her brother, Gilad Zar, a security officer who was killed by terrorists.

Four other outposts are reportedly also slated for demolition overnight, according to the report. Although no specific details were available, sources said the targets were likely located in the area of the Judean city of Hevron as well as in the Samaria region.

If they're targeting Mitzpeh Avihai, it's now personal. They're not just friends, but also customers of mine for mezuzot. I'll stand in front of a bulldozer for them.

I'm so glad the government is trying to avoid further riots/sarc

WTF is going on over there!?

Has insanity ravaged the government at all levels?

I’m starting to question why anyone would want to make aliyah with all this going on.

All this to kowtow to an invented people :-(

In the dark of the night, huh? Sounds shameful.

"Rather unpleasantly."

For some, yeah... it'll be pretty tough sledding. Best not to stick around for the rough stuff.

My Ninjutsu teacher/brother-in-law taught me that very often the safest direction to go is at danger, rather than away from it. We have huge problems here, but I feel more secure and better off than I would had I stayed in the US, and certainly safer than in London or Paris. But more important, this is where it’s all happening. This is where all the valves and levers are. I wouldn’t leave for anything.

I won’t be alone. We’re getting organized here to counter these damned demolitions. What those kids did was bad judgment on their part, and very wrong in many ways, but there are highly effective tactics that can be used. Ultimately, the governing coalition must be dissolved. Three or more parties should walk out of the cabinet ASAP, and put an end to Bibi the human accordian’s and Ehud Barak the offense minister’s reign of error. There are some truly right wing elements in Likud, but Bibi is not part of it, so he should step aside.

The US is heading for a bad tail spin, unfortunately. I don’t think it will be able to twist any arms for a while. Best of luck over there.

The Chinese curse has come true. We are all living in interesting times.

Well, buy gold. Not gold futures, gold certificates, or any of that paper garbage. Get yourself some bullion, jewelry or coins, and keep it handy. That’s the best advice I can offer.

The rest of the world ought to learn how to fend for itself without the friendly giant at our backs. We managed here in ‘48, ‘56 and ‘67 (which would have been unnecessary if we hadn’t trusted those damned UN peacekeepers to keep the Sinai demilitarized and withdrawn in ‘56). But (sob) I love the friendly giant, and hope he gets better soon.
