Dear Friends,
Almost a week has passed since the outrageous decision by the Supreme Court to allow the eviction of the Jews from Bet Hashalom in Hevron.
It is interesting to clarify though that the Supreme Court did not "order" the eviction but rather wrote that the Jewish occupants "may" be removed. The media and the Kadima government members then misled the public into thinking that the Supreme Court "ordered" the evacuation of the Jews.
This important nuance was explained by Yaakov Turkel, a former Supreme Court justice in an interview to Arutz 7. For more info on what he said please click on: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/128512
In light of these clarifications, it appears that Public Security Minister Avi Dichter of Kadima did not read the ruling when he said: "The ruling is not a recommendation, and we will implement it exactly as it is written", promising that "within 30 days, no Jew would be living in the disputed building". "We have no intention of straying from the Supreme Court ruling which is the law".
This is the time to once and for all burst the bubble of the "law-abiding government". As outgoing Kiryat Arba mayor Zvi Katzover said last week at the emergency assembly to save Bet Hashalom:
The intention of the government to expel the Jews from Bet Hashalom has nothing to do with the law. If this government really cared about "the law", then thousands of illegal Arab buildings, houses, fields etc.. would not exist. The government would have prevented them from being built. Arabs build illegally all over Judea and Samaria, the Negev and the Galil and this government does nothing to stop them. On the other hand, Jews who legally purchased a house, paying over a million dollars, are meant to be expelled. This has nothing to do with the rule of the law. This has to do with the fact that we have a extreme left, anti-Zionist Kadima government who hates the proud Jewish pioneers in Judea and Samaria and will do all they can to crush and persecute them in the hope that this will give them some votes in the upcoming elections.
Women in Green are actively taking part in the Action Committee to save Bet Hashalom. We urge you to take part in the activities described below, the Tuesday events and the Wednesday Women in Green chizuk trip to Bet Hashalom.
Women in Green are also the driving force behind another important struggle: the struggle for a Jewish Shdema. See details below and join us on Fridays in Shdema.
Lastly but most importantly, see below more details about a new toll free number to call the White House and demand Jonathan Pollards release.
Many people ask us: what can we do to help when we live abroad and or when we cannot actively come to Bet Hashalom or Shdema or the hilltops. The answer is simple: Be a partner in the struggle for the Land of Israel by helping us financially. All those struggles and hasbara efforts cost lots and lots of monies.

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES:
1) TUESDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 25th, 2008 (tommorrow)- MARCHING TO BET HASHALOM
Marches from around the country to Bet Hashalom in Hevron organized by the Youth for the Land of Israel
The marches will leave at 11:00am from Teddy Stadium in Malcha, Jerusalem and from the Masmiya intersection.
For more details please call: 052-3115596 or 052-3114627 or 054-6308480
2) TUESDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 25th (also tommorrow)- DEMONSTRATION FOR JEWISH PRISONERS
At a time when President Shimon Peres continues to release hundreds of Arab terrorists as a "sign of goodwill" to the Arab enemy, we cannot stay silent. We must demand to release the 17 political Jewish prisoners in jail. Those 17 prisoners have sat in jail enough and even in jail are being harassed. They cannot receive visits from their families. They do not get time out of jail like all other prisoners receive. They should at least receive the basic human rights that any prisoner deserve and usually gets.
The public is asked to come to a demonstration on TUESDAY NOVEMBER 25th (Tommorrow) at 6:00pm in front of the PRESIDENT’S HOUSE IN JERUSALEM (Jabotinsky street) and strengthen the families of the 17 prisoners.
Rabbis and public figures will take part.
For details and transportation please call 052-6051165

3) WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 26th,2008- WOMEN IN GREEN CHIZUK TRIP TO BET HASHALOM
One of the ways to prevent the expulsion is to do all we can to have as many people as possible in and around Bet Hashalom at any time of the day or night. All yeshivot, ulpanot, synagogues, organizations must organize themselves to come, in groups and stay at Bet Hashalom as long as they can.
Women in Green will go to Bet Hashalom as a group this coming Wednesday and we urge you to join us for a special morning. We will leave the Inbal Hotel in Jerusalem at 9:00am and spend the morning in Bet Hashalom.
We will enjoy a lecture by Prof. Esther Bet Halachmi and meet with the residents of the house.
Please call Anita ASAP to reserve seats on the bus 050-5777254
4) FRIDAY, ROSH CHODESH KISLEV, NOVEMBER 28,2008- in SHDEMA
This past Friday, Atty Elyakim Haetzni gave a lecture in the ERETZ YISRAEL CULTURAL CENTER OF SHDEMA
Some 15 people attended his fascinating lecture on the dangers and meaning of the creation of a Palestinian State in Judea and Samaria.
In addition, two groups of supporters from the USA also joined us, at the same time in Shdema.
Both groups were going to Hevron for Shabbat Chaye Sara, had heard about our struggle for a Jewish Shdema and decided to come and show support.
One group was from AFSI (some 20 people) and the other group (some 40 people) was led by Yossi Baumol representative for the Hebron Jewish Community. If anyone on this email list belongs to that group we want to say: Thank you for coming. it gave us a lot of chizuk and it proved to the authorities that the struggle for a Jewish Shdema is spreading. Any other groups planning to come to Israel please have Shdema on your itinerary.
This coming Friday Rosh Chodesh Kislev, at 9:30am in SHDEMA, we will please G-d have a shiur on Parashat shavua by Rabbi Yaron Durani, Rabbi of El David Nokdim.

We would like to remind all how important those weekly events are at Shdema. As you know, different international groups are trying to help the Arabs to take away Shdema from Israel. One of those groups is a group of architects who spend their time planning the destruction of the entire settlement enterprise (they call it "decolonizing"). They draw plans as to how they wish they could destroy our homes and communities. One of the places they focus on is Shdema (which they call Oush Grab).
Just click on the following link and you will see how annoyed they are at our activities in Shdema, which should give us strength and even more determination to continue the struggle for a Jewish Shdema.
