Can you explain to me what is going on? Why would the Israeli Gov destroy homes of its own Jewish citizens? Did I misunderstand something?
In follow-up to this story, the Mitzpeh Avihai-niks have today begun rebuilding their homes on Hill 18. Unfortunately, I couldn’t join them, having just returned from business in Efrat and having a couple of huge projects to complete if I’m to catch up on the rent and avoid eviction myself. But coming back to Kiryat Arba from Efrat by tramp (hitch hiking), I saw the procession of young people carrying lumber up the hill, and it brought a thrill to my heart along with regret that I didn’t have my digital handy.
