The Heartbeat of Zionism
EYEWITNESS ON GIVAT HADAGAN: OUR CAUSE CATCHES FIRE
Everyone talks about a new feeling of hope. It comes with the
feeling of fighting back -- of making our claim for Jewish rights in
Judea. Literally thousands of people have gone up to empty hilltops
throughout Judea and Samaria in the past few weeks to support Jewish
claims to the Land of Israel. Thousands more have joined "sit-ins" at
major intersections. And it all started at Givat HaDagan in Efrat on 20
July with 30 women from the Etzion Bloc (including Judea Magazine co-
editor Yael Ami-El), who camped out on the hill as the nucleus of a new
Jewish neighborhood.
Givat HaDagan was an uninhabited hilltop within the city limts of
Efrat in the heart of the Etzion Bloc, the city that Rabbi Shlomo Riskin
of the Lincoln Square Synagoge in New York came to build, a growing city
of 4-5,000, about one-quarter English-speaking. Efrat has been planned
to cover seven hills, each named after one of the "seven species" found
naturally in Israel. Already built are the Teenah (Fig), Gefen (Grape),
Dekel (Palm Tree), and Rimon (Pomegranate) neighborhoods. The first
families have just moved onto Givat HaZayit (Olive). The development of
Givat HaTamar (Date) was frozen by the government six months ago after
tractors had begun clearing internal roads on the site. Givat HaDagan is
Grain Hill, the seventh hill of Efrat. It overlooks Solomon's Pools, the
Herodian-era reservoirs that provided water to Jerusalem.
Thursday, 20 July -
There we were, 30 women and 10 men as guards, with sleeping bags,
food, water, and warm clothes; some brought tents. We brought trees to
plant and wood for a fire. We drove up to Dagan and set up camp,
assuming that the army would remove us within a few hours. The press was
notified and the army came, but for 10 days we were allowed to stay. We
brought in chemical toilets and a generator for light, and erected
temporary shelters. The next day our whole family set up for Shabbat in
three tents.
A woman reporter was there during Shabbat who didn't share our
political views, but she really liked the idea that a group of women had
set the whole thing going and was running the show.
Here is her composite description of the women of the Etzion Bloc who are
leading the fight for Givat HaDagan:
"She wears jeans and a t-shirt and is not afraid of anyone. A
determined woman devoted to her goal. She's lived a few years in
Manhattan or Antwerp or Los Angeles. She's not cut off from the here and
now; she speaks my language and yours excellently. She wears a small
pistol on her hip. She speaks into a cellular phone while holding a 2-
month-old baby, whom she periodically nurses. She has a degree in
psychology, education, or Jewish history. She ferries children back and
forth from after-school classes and movies, orders pizza for dinner for
the kids, puts on black tights and runs to aerobics class, keeps track on
her calendar of the next target practice, and makes time to talk with her
husband. This is more or less the profile of the religious women from
the Etzion Bloc." (From "Nadia, Eve and Marilyn Conquer the Mountain,"
by Billy Moscone-Lerman, Maariv Weekend, 28 July 95)
Sunday, 30 July -
After 10 days of building, the government ordered the removal of the
Jews on Givat HaDagan. In response, Etzion Bloc residents began
streaming to the site with their kids and sleeping bags.
You could see the lights of a line of cars coming up the road from
Efrat. The crowd of people walking up into the generator-lit compound at
the top of Givat HaDagan kept growing as my friends and neighbors came
in. The scene felt like a county fair. The hilltop has been divided
into home lots. A mother of 5 designed and built a wooden house with an
A-frame roof, which was designated the neighborhood infirmary. Another
family had begun a stone house with a chest-high stone-and-cement wall
surrounding a cleaned out area with a tent pitched inside. A dozen
kippa-wearing young boys were feeding buckets of sand and gravel into two
small cement mixers to make the new floor of the dining hall. And all
around were a growing number of tents of families who had basically
picked up and moved out to the hill -- all motivated by the Zionist
impulse to "arise and build" (the motto of the Labor-party-affiliated
Zionist youth movement, Habonim). There are just too many people to
move.
Monday, 31 July -
The first evacuation was the scariest because we did not know what
the police and soldiers would do to us. First they sent in bulldozers
and destroyed all the structures we had built. When they came for the
people we linked arms and sat down under the burning sun. At one point
we ran out of water and the police would not allow more to be brought in,
but then that order was rescinded. Finally hundreds of policemen and
soldiers gathered around us, along with police on horses. The Border
Police linked arms and began to march toward us led by three horses. I
got carted off to the waiting bus fairly early on. The women soldiers
who had me carried me a great distance and even pushed and pulled me on
to the bus for those officially arrested. Other demonstrators were
picked up, carried down the hill, dumped, and warned not to go back,
which of course they did. The evacuation began at approximately 1 pm and
continued until 8 at night. 213 of us were held at the Bethlehem police
station, every one of us proud to be fighting for the Jewish right to
live in the Land of Israel.
Wednesday, 2 August -
108 people were arrested this morning on Givat HaDagan. All were
later released except for Nadia Matar, the 29-year-old leader of the
Women in Green, and Rabbi Shlomo Riskin of Efrat, who continue to be held
on charges of insurrection and incitement to riot.
This evening a crowd has gathered outside the Russian Compound
Police Station in Jerusalem chanting "Nadia, Nadia." The police used
water cannon to break up the crowd that had spilled over and blocked
Jaffa Road, one of the main streets.
Givat HaDagan has set off a chain reaction. As the Etzion Bloc
activists head home after two weeks of intensive battle, the scene is
being repeated on hilltops near Kedumim and Beit El in Samaria.
Something has clicked. Fighting for Jewish rights to settle on empty
hilltops in Eretz Israel is striking a chord. The soldiers, and in
particular the women soldiers from the women officers course, are having
difficulty carrying away people who could be their mother or father.
There are widespread calls from the public that soldiers should not do
this work, but there are just not enough policewomen.
They've pulled five platoons of paratroopers out of training and
have brought policemen in from as far away as the Galilee. There are
also military police and border police, along with the notorious "Yasam"
unit created especially by this government to deal with Jewish political
demonstrations -- all assembled in to remove Jewish families camped out
in Eretz Israel.
_The Army vs. Jewish Mothers_
We put up a good fight with only passive resistance. Twice within
two days I was carried off the hill by women soldiers who begged me to
walk, but I told them that they should understand how important this land
is to me and that I would not leave it voluntarily. I suggested that
they refuse the order to evacuate us from our land. One said she would
be sent to jail for refusing to obey an order. I told her I would sit
with her in jail. Each time, four and sometimes five young women
soldiers carried me off and they were very worried about dropping me. I
told them I could be their mother; I think they realized that. One was
crying -- because of the trauma of having to carry a Jewish women off of
Jewish land.
God bless our youth -- those from about 12 and up. They were
willing to go to jail for their country too. How could they not? Their
parents are all involved in the struggle for Eretz Israel and their homes
are filled with talk and worry about our future in this land. At one
point the children were told by our leaders to leave the hill for fear of
the use of tear gas. Shulamit Aloni, a minister in the government of the
Jewish people, said that tear gas should be used against a peaceful sit-
in just like it was used against Arab rock-throwers.
_Learning about Civil Disobedience-
Israelis are learning about civil disobedience. They are learning
that when a group's basic rights are being threatened, then it is okay
and necessary to break some of the laws of the country. There was no
violence on the part of those sitting on Dagan and later other hilltops
in Judea and Samaria. There is only passive resistance. Dagan was the
match which lit the fire of civil disobedience in Israel. Passive
resistance of the Martin Luther King variety is happening all over. The
media talks about violence, but the only violence we have witnessed was
police violence and brutality toward non-violent demonstrators.
We are also witnessing a coming together, people finding a means of
expressing our (dare I say it) mystical connection to this land. The
government learned to ignore demonstrations at the Knesset. But this
business of going around looking for a mountaintop and settling the land
gets them very upset. Unfortunately for them, settling the land is
exactly what so many Western immigrants came here to do. A very high
portion of Western immigrants live in Gush Etzion and Jerusalem, people
willing to head out to the nearest hilltop to fight for their land.
The women of the Etzion Bloc have picked an issue that goes to the
heart of the matter. Regardless of whatever political agreement is being
made, it is going to be hard to put a lid on the Zionist impulse. The
leadership can't find the switch to turn it off, so Jews are going to
keep waking up with the bright idea of going off to resettle the vacant,
state-owned hilltops of Judea and Samaria. That very point is under
discussion right now between the government and the PLO. How much we
save for the Jewish people depends on how much we fight right now.
According to the latest polls, over 60 percent of the people of
Israel support our struggle to force the present government to go to the
people in new elections and let them decide whether or not to continue
with the Oslo Accords.
Thursday, 10 August -
300 people go up again to Givat HaDagan. The army has blocked the
road so we have to walk the 1.8 km. to the hill, but someone has gotten
through with equipment -- 20 temporary shelters (succot), a generator,
and jerrycans of water. Everyone helps carry it all up the hill.
Friday, 11 August -
The army has brought in five buses and many soldiers to remove the
Jews from Dagan, but hundreds of Etzion Bloc residents stream to the site
again and the army withdraws until Sunday because they don't have enough
forces to do the job.
Sunday, 13 August -
Givat HaDagan is evacuated for the third time. That evening, the
Women in Green demonstrate at the Hadassah convention in Jerusalem to
protest the award of a "peace" prize to Rabin and Peres. We brought in a
coffin draped in an Israeli flag and a banner with the message: "From
those murdered by Arab terrorists since Oslo -- Sorry we couldn't be
here." Some women went into the conference hall and spoke out against
Hadassah's award and the Israeli government. Outside, a woman burned her
Hadassah lifetime membership card. When people started singing "We Shall
Overcome," she spoke about her past in America in the 1960s when she
demonstrated for Black civil rights. Now she is demonstrating for Jewish
rights in the Land of Israel.
-- Y.A. and M.A.
*************************************************************************
SUSIE DEEM -- HEROINE OF ISRAEL
Susie Deem sat on the black asphalt in the center of the
intersection with a determined look on her face. Around her, small
battles still raged between her fellow demonstrators and a group of
police who had yet to digest their defeat, but they no longer controlled
the intersection. A half hour after Susie and her colleagues walked into
the center of the road, the police gave up, at least for a while. This
was at the height of the famous road-blocking action of the "This is Our
Land" (Zo Artzeinu) organization this week. The main highway from Rishon
Lezion to Nes Ziona and Rehovot was totally blocked.
Susie, 32, a patent attorney from Rehovot, had carefully planned for
this moment. She wore comfortable jeans and sandals, and carried a small
bag containing necessities for jail. She had left her four children in
the care of a babysitter with instructions for the next few days, in case
she was arrested. (From Nadav Haetzni, _Maariv_ Shabbat, 11 Aug 95.)

THEN DID SATAN SAY
Nathan Alterman, Israeli poet
Then did Satan say: "How will I conquer this beleagured one? He
possesses courage, ingenuity, resourcefulness and tolls of war." And
then he said: "I'll not rob his strength, not bridle him, nor rein him
in, nor enervate his hand. But, this I'll do -- blunt his mind, till he
forgets his cause is just." -- (Thanks to Dan Nimrod, Dawn Publishing,
Montreal, Canada).

THE GUARDIANS OF EFRAT
Sharon Katz
I've heard that when you visit Israel, your tour guide spends most
of the time saying, "Look at this view. Look at that view. Isn't it
breathtaking?" Well, if you really want a view, come out to Efrat, the
most beautiful city in the Judean Hills. From our cobble-stoned streets,
as far as the eye can see, there are majestic hills and valleys, the
hills of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Here our patriarchs lived, and here
the roots of our nation began. In these hills David shepharded his
sheep, and here he established his kingdom.
Yes, here in Efrat you can get another view, a view of Jewish
families committed to filling these beautiful hills with children who
will continue to cherish our heritage and devote themselves to the Land
of Israel and the Jewish People. Here in Efrat, the crown of Gush Etzion
(the Etzion Bloc), you will get a view of an entire community that has
become stronger under pressure and has even surprised itself with its
tenacity and determination to survive in the face of growing dangers and
fears.
With the implementation of the Oslo Accords more than a year ago,
security within and outside Efrat's perimeter became more tenuous.
Instead of panicking, Efrat residents joined together to deal with the
situation., forming an organization called Shomrei Efrat (Guardians of
Efrat) to help strengthen the community both physically and spiritually.
In order to deal with the fear of stonings and even, G-d forbid,
stabbings, Shomrei Efrat has sponsored Emergency First Aid classes so
that its residents feel they can more calmly handle crisis situations.
To help strengthen their resolve to remain in Efrat, despite the current
difficulties, Shomrei Efrat sponsors classes about Efrat's role in the
past and future history of our people.
The deteriorating situation on the roads outside Efrat prompted
Shomrei Efrat to form an Emergency Road Service Squad, a group of men on
call at different times 24 hours a day, who will bring drivers of
disabled cars on Hebron Road back to their individual communities in Gush
Etzion. We are now trying to raise mmoney for a tow truck that will be
able to rescue the car along with the driver.
And because we are grateful to the Army for their watchfulness,
Shomrei Efrat sponsors bringing hot drinks and cake to soldiers on the
roads in our area late at night.
If you visit us (and we hope you will), you will immediately feel
the uniqueness of Efrat, a community comprised of new immigrants from all
over the world, scattered among native born-Israelis. Efratis love
tourists. Each one is welcomed like an old friend from home. It is a
city where neighbors are like family, each devoted to one another, and
where an honest smile is shared with everyone. It is a city of children,
where any time of day or night, children of all ages are on their way to
one activity or another. It is a city where everyone feels that his
simple existence contributes to a greater good for the Jewish People.
Shomrei Efrat is working to help the residents of Efrat remain in
safety in these beautiful hills. It is working to set up a mechanism of
safety to protect our children and families both inside Efrat and on the
roads. But it's not easy. We could use some help. You can be a partner
in Guarding the community of Efrat. Your tax deductible contribution to
The Central Fund of Israel, "Earmark for Shomrei Efrat," 1460 Broadway,
6th Floor, New York City, NY 10036, could bring us closer to our goal of
a tow truck with emergency rescue and medical supplies.
Get a new view of Israel. Visit Efrat. See our community and meet
our neighbors. For more information, or to subscribe to Shomrei Efrat's
new electronic magazine, please contact: shomrei-ef@jer1.co.il.

WHEN THEY BLOW UP A BUS IN YOUR CITY
On 21 August, over 100 people were wounded and 5 killed when Arab
terrorists blew up a bus in Jerusalem. It's the same scene every time --
in Afula, Hadera, Netanya, Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, or Jerusalem. Everyone
phones their friends and relations to see if they're okay (my cousin and
my son's good friend just missed taking that bus). The Magen David Adom
first-aid centers call for blood donors. There's a special bulletin on
TV showing the carnage. The emergency crews are praised for their speed
and efficiency. The report from the hospitals is punctuated by the
chilling screams of a mother just told to go identify her daughter at the
morgue. The scene switches to the religious men in black clothes from
the Burial Society performing holy work -- picking up stray human pieces
and blood for burial. The politicians call for restraint. The
protesters block the streets. And then everyone goes home to wait for
the next one. Because unlike Sadat and Jordan's King Hussain, Arafat is
still calling for jihad -- holy war -- and many Palestinians are still
teaching their children that bus bombers are heroes. This isn't the
peace we were promised. -- M.A.
*************************************************************************
CLAIMING OUR JEWISH HOLY PLACES
There are only Jewish antiquities at Herodion National Park, King
Herod's palace and a twin to Masada, located just south of Jerusalem and
built in 23 BCE. Herodian also served as a Jewish fortress against the
Romans in the Great Revolt (66-70 AD) and the Bar Kochba revolt (132-135
AD), and was one of the last to fall.
On the evening of 22 August, Herodian was all lit up as over 500
people came to a concert sponsored by the Committee to Protect the Jewish
Holy Places in Judea and Samaria. Throughout this area is the largest
concentration of such places, which is why so many Jews choose to live
here.
The concert included shtetl ballads, a rock band with 3 electric
guitars (and all the performers men with _tzitzit_ [ritual fringed
garment]), a group from Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach's band from Moshav Modiin,
and Yitzhak Fuchs, a fine solo performer.
Throughout the summer there have been special events organized at
Herodion by Rabbi David Spector of El David and rebbetzin Hadassah Fruman
of Tekoa, including youth activities and treasure hunts, and Jewish
learning and prayer.
Herodion is a hollowed-out hill. You have to climb the 2,000-year-
old, marble steps to see the palace ruins and the secret passageways used
by the Jewish rebels. From the top of Herodion we can see the lights of
six Jewish-settled hills on the southeastern approach to Jerusalem -- the
communities of Maaleh Amos, Tekoa, Tekoa Bet, El David, Kfar Eldad (old
El David), and Herodion itself. Last spring the army removed its
presence at Herodion. Soon afterward, the office and generator were
burned and other equipment stolen, and the site turned into a training
ground for the local Arab militia. The army has now returned to Herodion
and a more permanent presence is under construction.

REMEMBERING DAVID ROSENFELD
On 2 July 1982, David Rosenfeld of Tekoa was brutally murdered by
terrorists of the Palestine Liberation Organization acting in the name of
Yasser Arafat. A few months before his murder and five years before the
"intifada," David sent the following letter to the _New York Times_, but
they refused to print it.
Despite having been written 13 years ago, the letter is especially
appropriate in the current situation faced by Israel.
David's murderers were caught, tried, sentenced, and then set free
in the exchange for Israeli POWs several years ago.
(signed) Family and Friends of David Rosenfeld - Tekoa, Israel
* * *
_From David's Letter_
"One feature of the landscape of Israel is an abundance of stones
and rocks in areas that have not been reforested. They say that each
stone has a history in this ancient land. There is certainly one salient
fact about these stones that has been overlooked in our technologically
oriented society -- they are potential weapons.
The American press has dwelled on the fact that during the recent
disturbances in Judea and Samaria the Arab rioters had only stones while
the Israeli army had guns. First of all, Arab rioters in the past - as
well as Arab armies - had and still have sophisticated weapons at their
disposal. What we should look at is the use of these weapons. When a
PLO terrorist murders a Jewish child in Israel, the Arabs praise this man
for killing an Israeli soldier. When the terrorists have guns or bombs
in Israel, their purpose is to use them to murder Jews -- civilians or
soldiers. On the other hand, the Israeli soldier never uses his gun on
civilians -- rioting or not -- except as a last resort in self-defense.
If an Arab is killed by an Israeli, an investigation is started to
ascertain if the Israeli's life was in danger. Most of the army's
bullets are fired into the air -- warning shots -- in an attempt to
control a riot. Arab bullets fired in Israel are aimed at the hearts of
innocent people. The purpose of the weapons in each side's hands are
different, one for attack, the other for defense.
The second point is that the stones being thrown by the rioters are
weapons. They can maim or kill -- and they have. If any of you don't
believe this, go to a park with your friends and ask them to start
throwing stones at you. But be fair. Ask them to use big stones and to
throw them as hard as they can. Later, in the hospital, you may perhaps
have a better understanding of what pressures the Israeli soldiers are
under, and in spite of this threat to their lives, how few incidents
occur in which they shoot back at their attackers.
Another situation occurs when an Israeli family is driving on a
road. Hurled stones start smashing the windows. Think of the fear and
pressure put on that family in the car. Would you defend the lives of
your wife and children? If you had a gun, would you use it? The laws
relating to the use of a gun by an Israeli are very strict -- as can be
seen by the fact that many civilian cars have been stoned but very few of
the attackers have been shot at and then only when they continued their
attacks and threatened the lives of the passengers.
I am not surprised that other peoples, who have not shared our
historical experience, are unable to comprehend what Israelis -- Jews --
feel about violence. We abhor it; we have been victims of violence for
centuries. We still are today."
Sincerely yours, David Rosenfeld
************************************************************************
SEEING BETHLEHEM FROM MY WINDOW
Looking out my front window I see Bethlehem. Under Stage Two of the
Oslo agreement, the IDF will withdraw from cities like Bethlehem in Judea
and Samaria but remain on the roads bypassing the cities, at least until
the proposed "Final Solution" -- the deportation of the Jews from Judea,
Samaria, Gaza and the Golan. So for now, the Jews of Tekoa will be able
to travel to Jerusalem without running into the Palestine Liberation Army
except for one road junction where there may be a joint Israel-PLO
patrol.
The only problem with this scenario is that Tekoa -- and Jerusalem
itself -- is very close to Bethlehem. When the IDF leaves Bethlehem, the
city is going to fill up with armed terrorists of the type now in Gaza,
with easy access to Jewish targets, and with a safe refuge right next
door. -- Y.A.
*************************************************************************
Woman of Valor:
TIRZA OLAMI OF OTNIEL
In December 1994, Rabbi Ami Olami became the 100th "victim of
peace," shot and killed by Arab murderers on his way home to the Jewish
village of Otniel in the south Hebron Hills in Judea, 50 minutes south of
Jerusalem. His widow, Tirza, 34, was left with five young children aged
2 to 10, and has since given birth to their sixth child. "The pregnancy
has given me much strength," Tirza told an interviewer before the birth.
"I am bringing another child of ours into the world, something from Ami."
When Israeli President Ezer Weizman and Mrs. Weizman came to pay
their condolences, they were especially moved by the poem written and
read by Talya Olami, age 9 1/2, which spoke about darkness in the world
and tears like water, but her father was in heaven where there was joy
and light. The poem ends with "so why is everyone crying? We all know
it's good for him there."
Tirza: "I believe that each person has their own destiny and mission
in the world, and it seems that Ami has a different task today. For me
it is God's test, just as when God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and
I have to accept it."
When asked about leaving Otniel for a safer place, Tirza replied,
"Unfortunately, no place in Israel is safe today. Things like this have
happened in downtown Tel Aviv. We chose to live here despite the dangers
and we need to continue to do so. Also, the daily support of the people
in the village cannot be compared. Women come in during the evening
because they know that keeping house is not so easy in your ninth month.
During the holidays, a family rented a van and took us with them on a
trip because they knew that with Ami we always travelled. Where else
could you find such support? How could I leave people like this?"
When asked about her political solution, Tirza replied, "I can
accept co-existence, but not leaving my village and letting the Arabs of
Dahariya come and live in my house."
Describing the day-to-day reality, nearly two years after the Oslo
"peace" agreement, "Arabs come into Otniel and work in construction.
They come into our homes and are received well, but if I go into Dahariya
they will kill me." Tirza Olami doesn't believe in a peace that exacts
such a high price in blood. (From "The Main Thing is Not to be Afraid,"
by Miri Rozovsky, _Maariv_ Weekend, 16 June 95)
