Violent Eviction Executed

This past week the government of Israel violently executed the eviction of the families living at Beit HaShalom.  The families living in the house have been defending the legitimate right of Jews to live in peace in the city of the Jewish Patriarchs.  With stun grenades and riot gear the Defense Minister decided to intervene in a civil matter in a manner similar to the way he recently evicted Noam Federman’s family by bulldozing their home at one-thirty in the morning. 

Daniella Weiss, among others, came together to attempt to negotiate with the government to avoid an eviction and allow the residents to remain in their home.  Since days before the action and still today, the government has waged an incessant campaign to demonize Daniella Weiss and the youth that came to support the residents of the Peace House.  One story after another has been published in the liberal news organs painting a warped picture of Daniella Weiss as being out of any sensible control and making her out to be public enemy number one.  Of course, this kind of reporting has caught on throughout the world media since they primarily regurgitate what their colleagues in Israel print.

Having met with Daniella just prior to and the day of the court decision allowing the expulsion I can tell you, she is a level headed patriot who knows a love and respect for the land and people of Israel that Ehud Barak and Prime minister Olmert have long ago rejected in their own lives.

The Jewish owner of Beit HaShalom purchased the building a couple of years ago for more than $700,000.00 (US dollars) from an Arab seller.  The seller, fearing pLO retribution for having sold his property to a Jew, filed a bogus law suit stating that he never finalized the sale of the property to the new Jewish owners.  Because of the Arab’s law suit the status of the property has been tied up in the Israeli courts. On November 16th a politically motivated judge issued a decision stating that the government could evict the residents until such time that the final verdict on the ownership is issued.  The court’s decision did not order the eviction, it merely allowed for it if the government chose to do so. 

For twenty months the residents of Beit HaShalom have lived peacefully in the house.  The Jewish community in Hebron referred to the home as the Peace House to stress the point that they intended to live there in peace.  Just as any where else in the world these families wanted to live their lives, make a living and rearing their children in peace.  There should be no reason why any Jewish family would not be permitted to live any where in the city that was home and burial place for Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebecca, Leah, and Jacob, Caleb’s inheritance, a Levitical city of refuge and King David’s capitol for seven years.  

Modern day Israel is torn by political corruption and despotic rulers pursuing their own gain above and in place of the good of the citizens of the State, all while Islamic insurrection threatens their very existence as a nation.  Leaders with limited faith, having no Biblical or moral connection to the Land, are eager to trade the soil they stand on in exchange for false hopes of peace with the Islamic enemies living in their midst.  To maintain their rule, in spite of poor governance, the leftist leaders demonize anyone that dares to oppose them politically and turn the national security forces against their own citizens as a form of control.  All the while, their pLO enemies stand on the sidelines mocking G-d’s People as they struggle with each other.

It is against this backdrop of confused values and corruption on behalf of the political leaders that the residents of a Jewish home in Israel were violently evicted.  For more two weeks the government, with the help of the liberal media, worked to assassinate the reputation of the leaders of those resisting the expulsion.  Daily, reports came forth reporting that the youth were causing riots in Hebron and instigating attacks on the so-called “palestinian” neighbors.  These reports were fabricated and designed to provide the Defense Minister a means to legitimize his decision to throw out the “radical” “settlers” who were supposedly defying the State and rebelling against the rule of law.  The smear campaign by the government toward the leaders of those peacefully gathering at the house to support the families of Beit HaShalom has been relentless and without bounds.

The families living in Beit HaShalom are to be commended.  Ehud Barak has made living in the house as difficult as possible by not allowing the electrical power to be connected or windows to be installed.  The residents bore under a very cold winter last year with sheet plastic covering the openings.  The people who came from all around Israel in support of Beit HaShalom are to be commended for standing with the residents knowing that Barak was set on removing them by any means required.

If Jews can be thrown out of a home where the ownership has been clearly demonstrated with documentation and video taped transactions, then where can a family safely invest their savings to set down their roots and rear their families.  Whose home and what community will be next?

The Maccabean Resistance supports the efforts of those throughout Israel in Judea and Samaria, the Biblical Heartland of the Jewish people, to live and prosper on every hilltop and in every valley of the Jewish Nation.  May those who stand in opposition to G-d’s Holy Purpose of reestablishing Jewish life and livelihood throughout The Land sworn on oath to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be brought to an end of themselves.  May the Faithful in The Land prosper and be multiplied.
