Chaim's announcement has created a great deal of premature euphoria on both the Hebrew and English forums. Our wonderful, well-meaning members are writing as if we have already won.
The truth is that it will be not be easy to get Chaim into Israel. G-d willing, we will succeed but it certainly will not be easy.
The Interior Minister Meir Shitreet will decide whether to reverse the decision to expel Chaim and prevent him from becoming an Israeli citizen. Shitreet is an extreme leftist. So convincing him will be no simple matter.
If Shitreet rejects our appeal, G-d forbid, then we must appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court, which is comprised of extreme leftwing, self-hating judges. Does anyone really think that it will be easy to win that appeal?
This does NOT mean that it is hopeless. The decision to expel and bar Chaim while inviting the Arab Hitler Arafat and 80,000 Fatah terrorist murderers into Israel is an extremely unpopular decision among most Israelis. Most Israelis who are made aware of this case do not at all agree with what was done to Chaim. So we do have a chance to reverse this evil decision if Shitreet the political opportunist believes that it will hurt him politically to continue to bar Chaim. Or if the Supreme Court judges believe that a decision against Chaim will cause the Israeli public to turn against them.
But let's be realistic here. G-d willing, we have a chance to win, but this will not be easy!
