Police early Thursday morning evicted five families from the new community (“outpost”) of Yissa Beracha, a new neighborhood of the town of Mitspe Yericho, located between Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley. Police violently removed the families and beat protesters who had come to demonstrate against the eviction. Nine protesters were injured in the police violence.

The operation, for all practical purposes, constituted a classic “invasion” of the neighborhood, with police sealing off the neighborhood for three hours before the eviction, while others blocked off access roads, preventing protesters from reaching the site, and beating with with clubs and sticks when they tried to reach the site. Police said that three officers were injured, after they fell off a roof they had climbed on in order to remove a resident.

Three of the protesters sustained injuries to the head, and were taken to Hadassah Ein-Kerem Hospital for treatment. Protesters said that one woman was injured when she was run down by a security vehicle; another protester who was hit on the head by police was refused medical treatment, witnesses said, with police preventing doctors from treating him until the evictions and demolition of the structures in the neighborhood were finished. Protesters said that, as has been the case in recent outpost demolitions, police used Arab contractors who gleefully ripped down the structures, cursing and laughing at the Jews while they did their work.

MK Michael Ben-Ari said that “the time has come for the national religious public to understand that the government of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is bad for the Jews. The obsessive and ongoing demolition of Jewish homes has reached the levels of the eviction of Jews from their homes in Gush Katif and northern Samaria. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are persecuting residents...”

I've discovered from my Mitzpeh Avihai evictee friends that they used Druze to carry out the dirty work. No doubt they did the same thing at Yisa Bracha and Givat Assaf. Whenever there's a Chassidic demonstration to beat down and disperse, they call in the Druze, too. Anything that requires an utter lack of mercy, there they are.

If they use the Druze then why don’t these families shoot them? Frankly, it is well past time to shoot at anyone trying to remove Jews from Jewish land. It is an act of treason.

Jail. To career criminals, it comes with the territory. For regular people, it’s unthinkable. On the other hand, so is being persecuted in a Jewish state by a Jewish government for being Jewish and building a house.
