Amona Residents Tortured by Government Decisions, Agreements, and Violations
Amona(This is what the world is complaining about?)The community of Amona in the Shomron has not been much in the news these past few weeks, but the quiet is ending, and ending fast:1. Arabs in the Shomron have petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court to cancel the agreement agreed to by the government and residents of Amona to relocate the residents to property adjacent to Amona. Arabs petition High Court against Amona zoningTo the great dismay of many, the court agreed and issued an injunction this past Monday temporarily freezing the construction of new homes for the residents of Amona, and forbidding the State from carrying out any work on the plots set aside for the construction. Supreme Court freezes Amona outline2. Naturally, the residents of Amona protested this ruling:The leaders of the town of Amona in Samaria penned a letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Education Minister Nafatli Bennett Sunday, protesting the fact that the government did not abide by the agreement with the residents to provide alternate housing on the same hill in return for their pledge to be evacuated peacefully.The residents wrote that they will initiate a new campaign against the impending demolition of their homes, which according to the agreement reached last month and which was approved by the Supreme Court must take place by February 8. They wrote that the only solution which would prevent the destruction of their homes would be to enact the Regulation Law to retroactively legalize the construction.Amona residents: Government violated agreementAmona's Chief Rabbi also protested the ruling and issued warnings if the Amona residents are not relocated as per the agreement:Last night, residents of Amona held an emergency meeting during which they announced the renewal of their public battle to prevent their eviction from their homes, after the agreement with the government to prevent the eviction hit a snag.Amona Council Head Avichai Boaron stated, "We have no choice but to renew our fight to prevent the destruction of Amona."3. In light of the government's failure to provide alternative housing for the Amona residents, Education Minister Naftali Bennett called for the government to finally approve the Regulation Law before the expected expulsion of the residents in two weeks.So, this is where we currently stand. Will the government abide by its agreement to relocate the residents of Amona to an adjacent area, or will they renege, and G-d forbid be responsible for potentially violent protests as was seen in Amona in February, 2006? Time is running short.

This explains why friends forward jokes. When it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. Beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. Wall along one side of the road. That glowed in the sunlight. Gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl and The street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. "Excuse me, where are we?" The man asked. Some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open. "Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveller asked. Back toward the road and continued the way He had been going with his dog. Long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a Farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. "Do you have any water?" Come on in." Gestured to the dog. Was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. Drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. Toward the man who was standing by the tree. Gates? Nope. That's Hell." Keep forwarding stuff to us without writing a word. Guess what you do? You forward email's! You forward jokes! And don't know how . . . . You forward stuff! . . . You are still remembered, . . . You are still important, . . . You are still loved, . . . You are still cared for. Don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, But that you've been thought of today And your friend on the other end of your computer Even if it means only forwarding on an email !
----------------------------- Silly French Authorities
Paris rejected Israeli software which could have stopped attack A groundbreaking Israeli security system could have helped French authorities prevent the Paris massacre last November - but authorities balked at the deal under pressure from the anti-Israel boycott movement. "The discussion just stopped." The technology enables intelligence agencies to "connect the dots", by aggregating and analyzing fragmented intelligence from multiple sources to provide a clear, comprehensive assessment. It has already been shared with the US and other Israeli allies, and helps to pinpoint terror suspects and other persons of interest to investigators. The source claimed it could well have helped stop the Paris attacks, and potentially the more recent Brussels attacks as well, which were carried out by the same ISIS terror network".more -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973 |
