Dear Friends,
The bad news is known to all: Olmert and his gang have capitulated this week more than ever and this in order to please Condoleezza Rice. The list of concessions made to the Arab enemy is mind boggling. The Olmert government has approved the creation of two new Arab cities next to Ramallah. Jews are not allowed to build a patio in their homeland, but Arabs who should be expelled to Saudi Arabia for striving to destroy the State of Israel and supporting the massacre of Jews, they receive from Olmert the OK to build two new cities near the communities of Ofra and Migron (20 minutes away from Jerusalem)- thus endangering all the Jewish communities in Binyamin and Jerusalem even more.
If that were not enough, Olmert gave approval to take down 50 checkpoints, now enabling Arabs to commute unhindered from Ramallah to Jericho.
To read the entire list of concessions and capitulations you can click on the Arutz 7 news article:

The good news is that little by little the People are waking up to the fact that we do not need to take these decrees lying down.
A few events happened in the last few days that once again confirm the fact that there is a new spirit in the national camp. A spirit of Jewish pride and willingness to fight for our Homeland.
A couple days ago, the residents of Har Bracha in Samaria woke up to the news that tens of security cars, army and police jeeps and bulldozers were on their way to Har Bracha to come and destroy a few foundations for caravans. Condoleezza was in the country and Olmert needed to show her that in addition to concessions to the Arabs, that he was also making sure Jews should not be able to expand and build.
The Har Bracha residents understood that now is the time to fight for every brick and every foundation. They quickly made many phone calls and text messages, urging people to leave work, studies, yeshiva and come to protect the place. Hundreds of Jews arrived within a very short time and bodily surrounded the place. It was a success. Olmert’s destruction forces could not reach the place and withdrew.
Yesterday, ther was a similar story. This time it was next to Kedumim, at the outpost of Shvut Ami, created last Sukkot by Loyalists of the Land of Israel and the Youth for the Land of Israel and others, including Women in Green.
Army and police forces came in the morning to (once again) evacuate the youth living in the outpost. This kind of activity happens often. Security forces arrive, expel the Jews and the Jews come back a few hours later. But this time the story was different. After the army and police cleaned the outpost of its Jews, it allowed a large group of Arabs, leftists and international anarchists to take over the place, claiming that the place really belongs to Arabs! We could simply not believe it! To see the Israeli Army and police on the side of anti-semitic enemies was a most distressing scene.
Within minutes we sent emergency beepers, emails and phone calls to hundreds of youth who ran to the place. Not only youth but many adults, mainly from Kedumim, showed up too. A battle ensued. The army beat up the Jews and tried to help the leftists and the Arabs but in the end the Jews had the upper hand and managed to expel the Arabs, the leftists, the anarchists and the police and security forces. At the end of the day, the outpost of Shvut Ami returned to Jewish hands.
Those are just two stories of many more events that are taking place in the last few weeks in which we see a similar pattern: the Israeli Civil Administration, army forces and police forces join with the Arabs and encourage them to take over land that belongs to the Jews.
Yes, sadly we can say that the Israeli authorities are trying to help the Arabs to build a Palestinian State but, thank G–d, the people are waking up and are resisting. We need all the help of friends in Israel and abroad to support those active for the land of Israel to make it possible for us to increase our activities.
Below please find a list of upcoming activities. Women in Green call upon all to take part in them:
