A Women In Green (http://www.womeningreen.org/) update as grassroots activism gains increasing influence on the global scene.

 

 

Three years ago, after the expulsion from Gush Katif, most of the nationalist camp was exhausted and in despair

but Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover redoubled their efforts.

 

Born in Belgium, Nadia made aliyah at the age of 19.  In 1993, in response to the bombshell of Oslo, she

founded Women In Green with her mother-in-law Ruth Matar.

 

Women In Green became one of the most visible and active grassroots groups on the Israeli scene.

It spread its message about Jewish ownership of the Land of Israel and the danger of capitulation to

the Arab enemy via fraudulent “peace agreements” by numerous means.

 

Yehudit and her husband Tzvi were one of the founding families of Kiryat Arba and have taken a large

part in its growth and development.  Among other positions, Tzvi was mayor of Kiryat Arba for the past

 twenty years and Yehudit was vice-mayor from 1985 to 1990.

 

Yehudit was one of a group of women that opened Hebron to Jewish settlement despite an uncompromising

 governmental ban. In the early 80's Yehudit and her family moved to Yamit, to take part in the struggle against

 the abandonment of the Yamit region to Egypt. She led and participated in the different Land of Israel struggles

 like the struggle for the establishment of the Avraham Avinu synagogue in Hebron.

 

In 2005, she led the very active Kiryat Arba-Hebron struggle against the Expulsion from Gush Katif, and since

the Expulsion has worked with Nadia on a host of local and national struggles and projects:

 

At present, Yehudit and Nadia coordinate the struggle for a Jewish Shdema, the IDF army base, abandoned by

the government three years ago, located in area C under full Israeli control, 5 kilometers from

Har Choma (Jerusalem), overlooking the single artery connecting Eastern Gush Etzion with Jerusalem- in danger

 of being taken over  by the Palestinian Authority.

 

In order to circumvent the leftist media, Yehudit and Nadia distribute the LaMaas –For the Struggle over Eretz Israel publication.

 

Tireless, fervent, optimistic and devoted, Katzover and Matar work with Land of Israel activists from all over

Israel and from all parts of the populace- religious and non-religious, action committees, Women in Green,

public figures, Members of Knesset etc…
