The moonbat government of Ehud Olmert wants to evict Jewish families from a building they legally bought in Hebron:
Following the voluntary evacuation of the Hevron marketplace in February, three Jewish families have moved into a newly acquired building. Despite an impending IDF order, they vow not to back down.It is racist to say that Jews cannot live in Hebron, and the European Union and State Dept. are racist if they're trying to prevent Jews from living there, as they have over the years. Reading this article, I wondered if it's possible to get them some help from the US, and maybe even from Congress? Well here is the contact page for the community website, and if anyone in the US knows of a way to help them legally, that would be most wonderful thing for which even I would be in great debt.
Outgoing Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz has ordered the eviction of the families, despite the Jewish community’s assertion that the building was purchased under the full letter of the law. A Supreme Court hearing on the matter is scheduled for Thursday at 10:30 AM.
The newly purchased building, named Beit Shapira, is located along the route leading from Hevron's Avraham Avinu neighborhood to the Cave of the Patriarchs. The ancient tomb is above a cave containing the graves of the Biblical patriarchs and matriarchs - Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, and Leah, as well as the first man and woman, Adam and Eve.
From the roof, one can clearly see the ancient site, second in importance to Judaism only to the Temple Mount. The Bible recounts the purchase of the site for an exorbitant sum of money from Ephron the Hittite by Abraham, despite the fact that he had offered it to Abraham free of charge. Abraham, wary of future attempts to question the legality of the sale, insisted on purchasing it for above and beyond the asking price as the elders of the city witnessed the deal.
The three-story building was purchased from a local Arab who left the city. His life is now in danger from the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority due to the sale.
"We purchased two buildings in Hevron in recent years," explains Hevron spokesman David Wilder. "One was in Tel Rumeida. That purchase was actualized, with families moving in over a year ago. Nobody has been able to find any legal problems with it and the people continue to live there happily. The second building's purchase was concluded a few weeks ago and when we got the green light from our lawyers, it was populated."
During the course of a single night in April, three families moved into the building.
