TELL GEORGE W. BUSH AND THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER OUR HOMELAND!
Dear Friends of Israel,
We cannot allow the Israeli government to maintain the illusion that it is acting in the interests of the Jewish People. The Olmert government no longer even feels obliged to safeguard the lives and property of its own Jewish citizens.
The population of Sderot and the Western Negev remains under constant missile attack, and the Jews expelled from Gush Katif continue to languish in refugee camps. How does the government respond?
It releases from prison Arab terrorists to continue their ‘War against the Jews’. It arms them and grants them international legitimacy! In addition, the government plans to abandon to the Arab enemy large parts of Biblical Israel, i.e. Judea and Samaria and parts of Jerusalem. Most unbelievably, it persecutes those Jews who try to oppose these policies.
Following the crime of the Gush Katif expulsion and its aftermath, an array of extra-parliamentary groups have joined together with the understanding that the focus of the struggle must be the Land of Israel and our G-d given right to our Homeland.
It is clear to us that if the government succeeds in its strategic goal of breaking the settlement enterprise, both its spirit and its physical hold on the land, it will succeed in all its goals: in creating a ‘Palestinian’ state and in turning Israel into ‘a state of all its citizens’ plans that will spell the destruction of Israel. For the last two years we have been acting ceaselessly to thwart the government’s plans by creating new settlements and strengthening existing ones. In the process, we are empowering the youth and a new generation of leadership and fostering a spirit of determined opposition in Israel, that will not be cowed by government threats or violence.
With George W. Bush’s planned visit to Israel in January, in which he will pressure the Olmert government to stop building the Land of Israel and even to divide it, it is essential that we broadcast to the entire world the message of Jewish steadfastness and loyalty to the entire Land of Israel.
We must disregard any pressures that are brought upon us, whether from abroad or from our own government.
YOUR HELP IS ESSENTIAL FOR US TO SUCCEED. TUESDAY, JANUARY 8th, 2008, IS PROBABLY THE DAY OF PRESIDENT BUSH’S VISIT TO JERUSALEM. ON THAT DAY WE WILL START A MASS PUBLIC BUILDING CAMPAIGN FOCUSING ON JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
WE WILL MEET AT THE ENTRANCE TO HAR CHOMA, IN JERUSALEM, at 5:00 p.m.
(By the way, for your information,the real name of Har Choma is Chomat Shmuel).
At this strategic and currently in the news location, public figures, rabbis and activists will declare that “THERE IS NO LAND OF ISRAEL WITHOUT JERUSALEM AND THERE IS NO JERUSALEM WITHOUT THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL ARE SOVEREIGN IN THEIR LAND AND THEIR CAPITAL - WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD, SETTLE AND EXPAND.”
At the end of the short speeches, trucks filled with building materials will lead the convoy of supporters to destinations all over Judea and Samaria to continue building and strengthening the Jewish presence there.
HELP US SAVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL BY SPONSORING A TRUCK FILLED WITH BUILDING MATERIALS!
(We currently have families and individuals manning the new hilltop settlements we have set up this past Hanukka living in very harsh conditions. We also have more families ready to settle additional hilltops.
The cinder blocks, cement mixers, generators, tools, mixing troughs, sacks of sand, gravel, cement, tin
sheeting for roofing, sewage pipes, chemical toilets, water pipes, doors, windows, wood planks, iron netting for pouring cement, buckets, and other building materials that will be on the trucks, will enable us to build them all proper shelter.)
THE TOTAL COST PER TRUCK IS $5,000.
If we can raise the funds for 10 trucks, it will make an impression. IF WE CAN FUND EVEN MORE TRUCKS, IT WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO BROADCAST TO THE WORLD OUR MESSAGE THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE WILL NEVER ABANDON ZION.
The trucks will be decorated with signs announcing the name of the supporters both here in Israel and abroad who are sponsoring the building campaign, emphasizing that the Jews living in Israel’s Biblical heartland have the support of friends from all over the world.
There is very little time left to organize this big event. We call upon all of you to donate generously. Please forward this email to family members, friends, community email lists, and whoever else might be willing to help.
It is of utmost importance that a large crowd join the gathering in Chomat Shmuel (Har Choma). We trust you to help this important endeavor by spreading the word.

AND WE THOUGHT YOU WERE OUR FRIEND!?
Letter from Ruth and Nadia Matar (Women in Green) Jerusalem
Wednesday, December 26, 2007
Dear Friends,
Yesterday we sent you an important e-mail on the following subject: TELL GEORGE W. BUSH AND THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER OUR HOME LAND!
Please read yesterday’s e-mail carefully.
Baruch Hashem, we have already received a pledge for one truck. This is a wonderful start, but in addition we need money for more trucks and also for advertising in the local papers, for buses to bring people to the event, for lighting and a sound system at the site, etc. If you can help us financially to make this event a success, you will help save the Land of Israel. We must avert the tragedy of a United States president dividing the Holy Land and giving Judea and Samaria, the biblical heartland of the Jewish people, to the Arab enemy for his own strategic interests.
Today, one of the many replies that I received said as follows: ”Just remember, you told everyone to vote for the mamzer”. (The Hebrew English dictionary and the Internet dictionary translate this Hebrew word as ‘bastard’). Since the elections of 2004 when I asked people to vote for Bush, rather than Kerry, I have received many letters with this message, although not in such crude language.
This message is unfortunately justified. I am guilty as charged! It turned out that my advice was wrong and downright harmful. George W. Bush has shown himself not to be a friend of the Jewish people, and most definitely not a friend of the Jewish State of Israel. He is the first and only U.S. president who has wanted to divide the Jewish State, and to create a Muslim terrorist state in the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria.
I really should have paid more attention to the Bush family’s background. Although many sources deny that this family was actually anti-Semitic, Bush’s father was definitely anti-Israeli and pro Arab, a bias that colored American oil and arms policy in the Middle East to the great detriment of Israel.
Bush’s opponent in the presidential race, John Kerry, was very open about his antagonism toward Israel and his views on the Arab-Israeli conflict. In his January 26, 2004, speech in New Hampshire, Kerry blamed Israel for all the problems in the Middle East and condemned the very existence of Jewish communities in the biblical lands of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip.
George W. Bush, on the other hand, did not express his anti-Israel or pro-Arab bias. That is exactly the reason, why, despite his family’s background, I voted for Bush in 2004 and encouraged others to do the same.
It is incredible and sad, that Kerry’s ideas are the exact ideas adopted by President George W. Bush today, in the year 2007.
It is exactly to strongly discourage him of these ideas that we have planned the start of a mass public building campaign focusing on Judea and Samaria upon his arrival. We plan to bring a convoy of trucks loaded with building materials to the young courageous pioneers in Judea and Samaria. This event is meant to strongly convey our message to George W. Bush and the entire world.
WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER OUR HOME LAND!
With Blessings and Love for Israel,
Ruth and Nadia Matar
Post Script
CLARIFICATION of the ‘welcome’ we prepare for George Bush:
Yesterday we gave you the details about our plans for Bush’s visit in Jerusalem. We told you the gathering at Har Choma will be on Tuesday, January 8th, 2008. We will accompany the trucks filled with building materials to different locations in Judea and Samaria.
A few of you responded that according to their information, Bush was coming on Wednesday, the 9th, and asked us whether we should not change the date of our gathering.
The truth is that we got conflicting reports as to when exactly Bush would arrive and therefore decided to play it safe and have the event on Tuesday evening. We are not changing the date.
If Tuesday is the day Bush will be in Jerusalem that is good. If he will only arrive on Wednesday then it will be even better. On Wednesday morning Bush and Co. will hopefully read in the newspapers about our activities that took place the evening before, and that please G-d will continue to take place on Wednesday all over Judea and Samaria.
The only little change we made is that we are calling for the people to arrive at Har Choma at 6:00pm and not at 5:00pm as mentioned yesterday.
