Ze’ev Haver Photo: Gil Yohanan Amana investigated for illegal construction in West BankJudea and Samaria district police investigate settler movement for illegal construction of outposts following request by Peace Now Efrat Weiss Published: 07.30.07, 22:41 / Israel News The Amana movement, headed by Ze’ev Haver, has been under investigation by the Judea and Samaria district police under suspicion of illegal construction of outposts. In November 2005, the Peace Now movement sent a letter to Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, asking him to investigate the actions of Amana regarding the continued building and marketing of homes in illegal outposts throughout the West Bank. The letter claimed that Amana’s website was advertising a lot of information indicating intensive activity in illegal outposts. According to a report by Attorney Talia Sason, Amana continues to market permanent homes and temporary dwellings to a large number of illegal outposts. Advertisement Peace Now only recently received a response to its letter. The response was signed by Deputy State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan, and said, “I would like to inform you that on 19 February, 2006, a criminal investigation was launched regarding the involvement of the Amana movement in illegal construction in the Judea and Samaria area.” talkback Print Send to friend Bookmark to del.icio.us See More Army warns Hebron settlers to evacuate market willingly Israeli tourists may enter US without visa
Army warns Hebron settlers to evacuate market willingly Military Advocate General’s office says Jewish families residing in West Bank city’s market will be held financially responsible should IDF be instructed to forcefully evacuate them from the site Efrat Weiss Published: 07.30.07, 21:43 / Israel News The Military Advocate General’s office on Monday warned Jewish families residing in Hebron’s old market that should the IDF be instructed to forcefully evacuate them from the site, they would be held financially responsible.Previous Agreement Hebron settlers to evacuate market willingly / Efrat Weiss Hebron settlers agree to evacuate cluster of homes in city’s old market after reaching compromise with security forces Full Story “The deadline for a voluntary evacuation (from the market) has passed, and the authorities in the area plan to work toward removing you from the property with the use of reasonable force,” the office said in a letter addressed to the families. The council of the Jewish settlement in Hebron said, “The chutzpah and obstinacy have reached a new high. The IDF should be ashamed for arbitrarily annulling the agreement regarding the market and refrain from issuing threats aimed at preventing the settlers from exercising their legitimate right to protest.” 'Prevent a violent confrontation'A few months ago two families settled in the West Bank city’s market without authorization. Israel Police and the IDF defined the act as “squatting” and ordered the families to clear the area. The families’ appeal was rejected, and the deadline for their voluntary evacuation expired last Friday. The settlers claimed the market was built on Jewish land, adding that a year-and-a-half ago families that settled there willingly evacuated the site after reaching an agreement with the IDF and after the State told the High Court that it would take all the necessary legal measures to allow Jews to settle there. However, the settler leaders claimed, Attorney General Menachem Mazuz reneged on the agreement in what was they called a “scandalous, one-sided and politically-motivated move”. Advertisement “Attorney Yaakov Neeman, who represents the settlers, informed the prime minister (Ehud Olmert) and the defense minister (Ehud Barak) that there was a legal way to return the Jews to the market,” said Noam Arnon, a member of the Jewish settlement’s council. Several faction heads in the Knesset have also turned to Barak and asked that he work toward resolving the issue and preventing a violent confrontation with the settlers.
Olmert Government Destroys Synagogue Next to Joseph's Tomb by Hana Levi Julian(IsraelNN.com) The Civil Lands Administration destroyed a one-year-old synagogue built on Mount Gerizim near the Samarian city of Shechem on Monday afternoon. The structure was built not far from one of the holiest sites in the Jewish world. Government officials maintained that the building was erected without a permit, and was not a synagogue.Dozens of Breslov Chassidim and other rabbis and students worshipped there daily, learning Torah between the services. The rabbinical students vowed not to give up the site without opposition. “If the synagogue is destroyed, it will be re-built,” vowed one student before the house of worship was razed to the ground.The structure was built by the students in order to study as close as possible to the burial place in Shechem of the biblical Joseph, son of the Jewish matriarch Rachel and Jewish patriarch Jacob, following its capture and destruction by Palestinian Authority Arab hordes in October 2000. There have been many clandestine pilgrimages by Jews – and some not so clandestine – to the tomb since then. Echoes of the past reverberate in the hills around the grave of the biblical Joseph, whose bones were brought to rest in Samaria by the Children of Israel when they escaped from Egyptian slavery thousands of years ago."The bones of Joseph which the Children of Israel brought up from Egypt were buried in Shechem in the portion of the field that had been purchased by Jacob." (Joshua 24.32)The Tomb of Joseph, whose sons headed two of the twelve tribes of Israel, was to remain accessible to Jews under the terms of the Oslo Accords signed by Israel with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which represented the PA. The area around it, including the city of Shechem, was handed over to the PA, then an administrative body whose leaders had promised to protect the site.But Jewish access to the tomb was blasted away by PLO terrorists in October 2000 a scant few days after the start of the second intifada, which many refer to as the Oslo War. Israel Border Police officers spent days fending off terrorist attempts to capture and destroy the tomb. Within a week, the government of then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak, currently Israel’s Defense Minister, caved in and ordered IDF troops to abandon the site. Another Joseph was also abandoned that day in 2000 - a Druze Border Policeman named Madhat Yusuf (Joseph, in Arabic) who was left to bleed to death as soldiers waited for the order to rescue him. It took five precious hours for then IDF Chief of Staff Shaul Mofaz to negotiate with the PLO for his evacuation to safety, but by then it was too late. The government later told journalists the talks were necessary in order to avoid the risk of killing PA civilians.The PA promise to preserve Joseph’s Tomb and allow Jewish access was violated within two hours after Yusuf’s body was carried away. A flood of PA Arabs entered the compound and razed the synagogue to the ground, burning furniture and holy books as the PA policemen who had vowed to protect the site stood idly by.Two days later, the dome of the tomb itself was painted “evil eye green” as some people refer to the color, which in Arabic tradition wards off the evil eye. Bulldozers cleared away the remnants of the orgy of violence that had taken place there, transforming the holy Jewish monument into a Muslim religious site.
Just when you think the Israeli gov't can't get any more evil.............
The Arabs say that there is a Muslim sheikh called Yusuf burried there and even they neglected it after they painted it Arab Muslim Nazi green.
Muslim claims to any part of Eretz Yisrael are all bogus, arab b@stardry. If senior Rabbis went to a garbage dump in Anchorage, Alaska and said it was a Jewish holy place, the muslims would be claiming likewise in five minutes flat.
