Encouraged by Women in Green, a wonderful new generation is growing.
At a time when many teens are busy looking for their own private identity , a serious group of youth has sprung up that continues the great tradition of Zionism seeking to establish unequivocally that the Land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel and that we have to establish our basic right to this Land by applying Israeli Sovereignty.
Dear Eretz Youth: May you be succesful!

Activists of the ERETZ (Youth Sovereignty Organization) movement are “painting” the area of houses where MKs and ministers of the national camp live with signs and advocacy materials expressing the demand to apply Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.
The activists went to the communities and neighborhoods of MKs Shuli Mualem, Deputy Minister Rav Ben Dahan, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Minister of Jerusalem Affairs, Environment and Diaspora Affairs Zeev Elkin, Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel as well as other communities.
The organization explains that “the goal of the operation was to bring to the attention of the MKs the need and the demand arising from the nationalist people and the public for the MKs, who are representatives of the nationalist public, to take courageous and effective action toward the application of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria and the promotion of the Israeli Right’s diplomatic solution”.
The activists say that the responses from the field were warm and even enthusiastic. Yohai Sarel, the movement’s coordinator for Samaria, relates: “At first, we were uneasy and expected to see some raised eyebrows, but when the residents understood what it was all about they fortified and encouraged us. Some even said that there had never been such activity in the field toward a change of government policy on the subject of Judea and Samaria. These responses encouraged us and still encourage us to continue to act”.
Daniel Gabai, the general manager of the organization, explains that “this was not a one-time activity”: the reactions from the last operation are amazing. The warm responses spur us on to act even more assertively, but this process, in which, for the first time, the solution of sovereignty is embedded in the public discourse and public opinion, cannot end with one or two activities. Our goal is that the nationalist public will enthusiastically adopt the plan for sovereignty as an alternative political solution. We demand for the MKs will act in accordance with the will of their constituents and back up all of their talk with deeds. They have a great deal of power”.
Gabai also said that “We are preparing the field with operations and events, and little by little, we are seeing results. ‘The time has come for sovereignty’ is the byword that we have been using for more than a year and thank G-d ‘it caught on in the effective campaign in Ma’ale Adumim. We are acting in every dimension under the slogan ‘One Land for One People’ and we believe that with G-d’s help we will succeed to bring about a positive change in reality and an increase in Jewish settlement in all areas of our Land.”
