Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz has given orders to uproot and dismantle the
"outpost" of Migron - including all 42 of its families....
Migron was officially established almost two years ago on a hilltop overlooking the Shomron's central artery Highway 60, which leads from Jerusalem to Binyamin and Shomron towns such as Ofrah, Beit El, Shilo, and Eli. The tall buildings of Jerusalem can be clearly seen to the south, thus that Migron is part of Jerusalem's defense belt.
A... recent Central Commander, Yitzchak Eitan, who was not a great friend of the Jewish settlement enterprise in Yesha... insisted that the site remain Jewish. He even told then-Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer that if Jewish civilians were not permitted to remain, he would build an army outpost there. "This point must not be abandoned," he said.

We have decided to do two things: 1. The residents of Migron have asked for a world-wide faxing campaign to accompany their struggle to continue to exist. We are going to do our part! Please fax a simple letter of protest in English, or any other non-Hebrew language, in order to show the Prime Minister and Defense Minister that this is not a localized issue, but one that affects all of World Jewry. The Prime Minister's fax is: 011-972-2-566-4838 The Defense Minister's fax is: 011-972-3-697-6218 2. Please e-mail a simple letter of support that we will present to the people in Migron. Please include your City where you are e-mailing from, so that we can make them feel like they have the international support that they so deserve! |
