Planting – uprooting – replanting in Netzer today
Friday September 31rd, 2011

At a time when each news item talks about the question “to whom does the Land of Israel belong?”, we decided to increase the Jewish presence in Netzer and watch the tens of dunams planted there in the past two years by Women in Green together with residents of Judea.

We went to Netzer this Friday morning to strengthen our hold onto the Land by planting olive trees. Afterwards we heard a shiur by Steve Rodan and then returned home happy and uplifted.

That did not last long though….a resident of the area called us that he saw a suspicious car close to our field. We immediately arrived and saw that Arabs had uprooted all of our morning plantings plus trees from a nearby field of ours too.

We got organized- called some friends and replanted all of the trees plus additional ones. The Arabs who uprooted our trees had of course disappeared, as did their plantings.

It is clear that it is not enough to plant and build, we must also apply Israeli sovereignty over all of the Land of Israel in order to, once and for all, make clear that the Land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel.

When Israeli sovereignty will be applied over Judea and Samaria, things will calm down. The situation will be clear. The hopes that the Arabs have built up with the help of internal brothers and external enemies, these hopes will finally vanish and disappear.

The Land of Israel is the key to the existence of the Jewish People. On the eve of Rosh Hashana we must all ask ourselves, on an individual and national level, if we have done enough for the sake of the Land of Israel. There are no better days for teshuva (repentence ) than the days preceding Rosh Hashana.
