That also through them The האור Light, רפואה The Healing and The ואהבה Love of ישועת יהוה Yeshuath YHWH may come back to הארץ The Land of Israel?  

Kafka at Netzer - How Right You Are, Kalman Libskind!

Friday, April 1, 2011, at Netzer in Gush Etzion, six Arabs attacked
two Jews - our friends Ori Plasse, from Sdeh Yaakov, and Yigal Devere,
from Efrat, as the two Jews were engaged in plantings on state lands,
after tens of trees had been uprooted by the Arabs last week.

For two years the Women in Green movement has been redeeming the state

lands on the hills of Netzer, between Elazar and Alon Shvut. We have

planted hundreds of olive trees, pomegranate, and fig trees. Women in

Green movement committed itself not to claim ownership of the land

that it works, nor of the trees that are planted - all this is being

done solely for the guarding of state lands.

For two years the Arabs, in addition to their massive illegal

construction of houses, have been engaging in a "planting intifada",

with their intensive plantings, building of greenhouses and

infrastructures. They are answering the call of Salam Fayyad to plant

a million trees, specifically in Area C. Aided by international

organizations, the Arab are planting in quantities the likes of which

have not been seen in the region. The Arab planting drive points to

their intent to establish facts on the ground, in order to break the

Jewish settlement continuity in Judea and Samaria as a whole, and

particularly in Gush Etzion. Simply put, they are building a state.

Against Jews, in contrast, there is 100 per cent law enforcement and

building freeze.

And so, this past Friday, two Jews were attacked while planting.

An Arab attacked them with a hoe, and Yigal simply saved Ori's life

by, at the last moment, preventing the Arab from striking Ori. Ori was

wounded but thank G-d only lightly. The security forces were alerted,

and the army and the police came.

So far, this is a common scenario of an Arab attack against Jews. But

here the Kafkaesque reality begins:

When the two Jews entered the police station in Kiryat Arba to file a

complaint against the Arab for the assault - the police officer told

the two Jews that THEY are suspected of attacking the Arab!!! You

see.... not only did the Arab assault them, he filed a complaint

against them, and now they are suspects!

This is simply a Kafkaesque play! The Arabs assaulted and caused

injuries, and then complained to the police. The complaint by the Arab

was accepted, just like that by the victims of the assault.

Kalman Libskind was right in his article last week: "Arabs attacked

you? Don't go to the police!"

And so, our friends were interrogated, they were fingerprinted, and

they received a restraining order for fifteen days, not to approach

within 500 meters of the location of the incident.

This event will obviously not deter us. At the contrary, it just

reinforces our understanding that we must be in the field and on the

ground, especially on Fridays and Shabbatot, because the Arabs know

that on those days the IDF, the police, and the Civil Administration

hardly work and the area is open to all.

Thank G-d, in the past two years, the Jewish residents of the area

have become increasingly aware of the need to observe and report any

harm to the plantings of Jews, on Shabbat as well.

And thus, we will increase our presence on the ground to cause the

authorities to guard the state lands. We will not rest or relax our

vigilance until the governmental systems will realize that they must

represent the Jews and the Zionist vision.

We call upon the residents of Gush Etzion to increase the Jewish

presence on the ground, by walks on Netiv ha-Avot, bicycle trips,

running, walking, shepherding, and picnics. Additionally, we have

installed benches for those who want to rest and enjoy the Erets

Israel landscape.

This coming Tuesday, Rosh Hodesh Nissan, April 5, at 4:30 p.m., we

will, please G-d, return to plant in the plot where the incident

occurred. Let the Arabs know that we will not give up our lands. After

the planting we will hear a lesson by Rebbetzin Shani Taragin. We will

meet at the entrance to Netzer, by the Biar.

Shavua Tov,

With love for Israel,
