Six years after the expulsion from Gush Katif, veteran journalist Rino Tzror went back on Monday to the documentary he filmed about the expulsion, “The Girls’ Prayer.” Considered one of the most prominent and emotional documentaries filmed during the expulsion, “The Girls’ Prayer” documents the final hours of the great synagogue in Neve Dekalim, where about a thousand girls had entered just prior to the expulsion and prayed to the heavens for a cancellation of the expulsion decree. Tzror, who began following and documenting the residents of Gush Katif a year before the expulsion, abandoned his post as a journalist...

Hundreds of residents of Gush Katif marked on Wednesday the sixth anniversary of their expulsion from their homes, during the Sharon government’s 2005 disengagement plan from Gaza. The annual event marking the anniversary of the expulsion from Gush Katif took place, as it does each year, near the Kissufim crossing, which is the closest point to what was formerly the Jewish communities of Gush Katif. Video “Kissufim, which is right next to where we are, in English means yearning,” said Dror Vanunu, International Director of the Gush Katif Committee. “And the feeling is that all of us are yearning for...

Every now and then, a treasure is unearthed not by archaeologists digging in the ground, but by historians and others seeking information among the stacks of books in a library. Writer and analyst Lenny Ben David was doing exactly that when he came across a massive Library of Congress photo archive of life in Palestine, circa early 1900s. Prior to its rebirth as a commonwealth, the lands of the State of Israel were all referred to as Palestine by the British. Ben David, a former diplomat and lobbyist, writes on his blog, “As I skimmed through the pictures, one theme...

Roma rights activists during a protest in front of the French embassy in Bucharest, Romania, 06 Sep 2010 The European Parliament has criticized the move by the French government to expel its Roma migrants. Since August, France has deported about 1,000 ethnic Roma to Romania and Bulgaria. In a resolution passed Thursday, the European Union called for France to bring it to a stop. European Parliament member for London Jean Lambert says France's Roma policy is discriminatory. "It is not saying you have committed a crime and therefore you as an individual should be expelled from this country," Lampert. "It...

Saturday morning. The sound of the gypsy music is moving closer. They have a bear on a chain-leash. Kids throw coins from the balcony and the gypsy man makes the bear dance. Ah, the sweet memories of my childhood. Today the dancing bears are ‘liberated’. After the fall of communism the French actress Brigitte Bardot made a worldwide campaign against the cruelty involved in training the dancing bears. Bulgarian government had to buy the bears from the gypsies. The animals were expensive – one could cost as much as a fancy German car. Special reservation areas were designated for...

Five years ago August 16th-22nd of 2005, television screens all across America and thworld, were filled with the horrible images of thousands of Israelis forcibly uprooted and expelled from their homes and land in Gaza and northern Samaria.In part because of Ariel Sharon's betrayal of the principles of his own Likud Party, but mainly due to American pressure on Israel under the infamous "Roadmap".Seven days to the day later, on August 29th 2005, tens of thousands of Americans were forcibly uprooted and expelled from their homes and land by an act of God called "Katrina"."Mother nature" does not exist.God is boss...

Israel's president has accused the English of being anti-semitic and claimed that MPs pander to Muslim voters. Shimon Peres said England was "deeply pro-Arab ... and anti-Israeli", adding: "They always worked against us." He added: "There is in England a saying that an anti-Semite is someone who hates the Jews more than is necessary." His remarks, made in an interview on a Jewish website, provoked anger from senior MPs and Jewish leaders who said the 87-year-old president had "got it wrong". But other groups backed the former Israeli prime minister and said the number of anti-semitic incidents had risen dramatically...

Reporting from Moscow -- Two and a half years ago, a young Orthodox rabbi from New York set down in the port city of Vladivostok, family in tow. Yisroel Silberstein came with a mission, and he expected to stay for good. Out on Russia's rough and tumble eastern frontier, Silberstein set out to revive a Jewish life that, he says, had almost disappeared. He reached out to several thousand local Jews, organizing services, holiday parties and a summer camp where children learned about Judaism and swam in the Sea of Japan.

A Russian court on Wednesday upheld the deportation of Chabad's Rabbi Yisroel Silberstein, Rabbi of the Primorye region in Russia's far east. According to the Vladivostok District Court's initial ruling on February 12, Silberstein, an American working in Russia for the last two years, listed "cultural activities," in his visa application, inconsistent with the religious work he was actually carrying out. According to the Federal Migration Service, Silberstein should have listed "religious activities." Silberstein told Lubavitch.com that he would be flying to New York on Wednesday night. In a statement, director of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Russia, Alexander...

Whenever I talk about the Jewish One-State solution, many Jews, especially Israelis, will have none of it because they don't want another milllion plus Arabs in Israel, even if it is extended to the Jordan. They prefer either to get rid of them, either by compensation or war (refugee flight) or they prefer the Two-State solution as bad as that would be. Either way the Israelis want less Arabs in their midst. Why this antipathy? Could it be that so many Israelis are refugees, or their descendants, from dhimmi treatment in Arab countries or is there something more. Jewish Virtual...

ISTANBUL, January 29 (Compass Direct News) – Jordan has increased pressure on foreign Christians living in the kingdom, expelling many long-time residents over the past 13 months in what local churches see as an attack on their legitimacy. Authorities deported or refused residence permits to at least 27 expatriate Christian families and individuals in 2007, a number of them working with local churches or studying at a Christian seminary, Compass has confirmed. In all but one case, officials refused to provide written explanations for the decisions. But many of those expelled told Compass that they had been questioned by intelligence...

Will at least 18 Senate Democrats support a motion to expel Sen. Larry Craig? The spontaneous answer would be Democrats would want him expelled and Republicans would hold out. I would contend, however, that the opposite would occur. 1. Unlike most controversies, frivolous or legitimate, involving Republicans, Democrats do not need to get out in front to spin the severity of the incident. In fact, this incident differs even from the Mark Foley scandal in that Mark Foley was never arrested. (BtW, I don't believe the Foley scandal affected but two seats, Foley's and Reynolds'.) 2. Furthermore, unlike Mark Foley's...

(IsraelNN.com) Families are going about their daily affairs. Children play outside their homes, with crayons and coloring books, in what was for centuries a graceful Jewish Quarter in the holy city of Hevron. A long-skirted woman, hair covered with a scarf, is washing the floor of her home. You’d never know that 3,000 police officers, soldiers and Yassam SWAT teams are waiting for the word to pour into the area in hundreds of buses – to evict two families, and an undetermined number of supporters who plan to stand together with them. The plan is reminiscent of the 2005 Disengagement...

Russia vows response to UK expulsions By STEVE GUTTERMAN, Associated Press Writer 18 minutes ago Russia on Tuesday vowed a "targeted and appropriate" response to Britain's expulsion of four diplomats in a mounting confrontation over the probe into the radiation poisoning death of a former KGB officer. Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko criticized Britain for demanding the extradition of the key suspect in the killing of Alexander Litvinenko, emphasizing that Russia's constitituion forbids it, and urged other European nations not to gang up against the Kremlin. The dispute could derail recent American efforts to ease increasing tension between Russia and...

Former Gaza farmers rallied on Sunday to demand that the government fully reimburse them for the land and money that they lost when they were evacuated from their homes two years ago. Saying the government has failed to keep promises to fully compensating them for the loss of their farms, hundreds of protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office in Jerusalem. Olmert, they said, should wake up and focus on his own people instead of the Palestinian terrorists. Some demanded his resignation. They called on the government to help them rebuild their homes and livelihoods. According to the May...

In 1945 there were up to one million Jews living in the Middle East and North Africa outside the Palestine Mandate - many living in communities dating back more than three millennia. Today, there are several thousand. Who are these Jews? What precipitated their mass-exodus in the 20th century? Where did they go? And why don't we know their stories?

AN accused Iraqi spy awaiting expulsion says he will fight Australian troops if they join a US-led war on his country. Helal Ibrahim Aaref, who has been told to leave Australia by Wednesday, told the Herald Sun he would have no option but take up arms. "I hope Australians don't go to Iraq," Mr Aaref said. "But anyone, from all the world, who attacks Iraq, enters my cities, enters my country, I fight him. "You know, Iraq has a long history, from about 8000 years, and all that time we are fighting enemies because Iraq has oil and resources." Mr...

Sex scandal past haunts new envoy Israeli Amir Laty was told to leave Australia last month, but just why is hard to pin down, reports Cynthia Banham. At first blush the secretive expulsion of an Israeli diplomat from Canberra a month ago had all the makings of a James Bond movie - there were claims of espionage, liaisons with women, and plenty of intrigue. But as the real story behind the banishment of Amir Laty slowly unfolds, it is unclear whether what took place was an audacious attempt by a foreign agent to breach high-level Australian intelligence, or more a...

Donation part of over USD 200,000 campaign aimed at assisting children of Jewish families evacuated from Gush Katif during summer of 2005; 'They really deserve a special place for them just to be kids again,' ICEJ director says Ynetnews Published: 02.01.07, 16:06 The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) on Thursday dedicated a new playground in Nitzan as part of its campaign to assist children of Jewish families evacuated from the Gaza Strip during the summer of 2005. Following the Gaza disengagement, the Christian Embassy launched a drive to assist evicted Israeli families, with a special emphasis on helping children adjust...

A Year After: No Consensus on the Expulsion 13:24 Aug 17, '06 / 23 Av 5766 by Hillel Fendel Exactly a year has passed since the expulsion from Gush Katif, and despite the suffering of the expelled and the Hizbullah War, there is still no national consensus on the matter. One year ago today, on August 17, 2005, tens of thousands of Israeli soldiers and policemen descended upon the residents of Gush Katif (- the northern Shomron was targeted a week later) and began forcibly removing them from their homes. An article in on the Ynet Hebrew news site depicting...

The open wound of Gush Katif By Nadav Shragai Last Friday when Makor Rishon's photographer, Miri Tzahi, saw the photo of First Lieutenant Amihai Merhavia, who was killed in the battle of Bint Jbail, it jogged something in her journalist's memory. She thought she had seen this face before. Tzahi, who is about publish the album, "Katif - Nine days in Av," featuring hundreds of photos of the "days of the expulsion," searched through her computer archive and found a series of photos from around four years ago, showing Merhavia during the violent evacuation of Havat Gilad (Gilad Farm) in...

Nine Months after Expulsion: Status Report 14:09 May 17, '06 / 19 Iyar 5766 by Hillel Fendel The Gush Katif Committee's report shows that 80% of the expelled families remain united in their communities, but that 98% have yet to find permanent housing. The report was written by Dror Vanunu, a former resident of N'vei Dekalim and the International Coordinator of the Gush Katif Committee. This body coordinates all relief efforts, from both private and public sources, for the former Gush Katif communities. It has helped build a social welfare infrastructure to fill the gap left by government cuts, as...

Attorneys for California Lutheran High School in Wildomar have asked a judge to drop a high-profile discrimination lawsuit against the school, saying school officials were well within their legal rights to expel two students for allegedly being lesbians. In asking Riverside County Superior Court Judge Gloria Connor Trask to dismiss the case, attorneys for the school argue that the case is a religious rights issue, not one for the courts to decide. Trask is expected to rule on the motion as early as next week but there is no set timetable. "This is a freedom of religion issue," said John...

Kadima's expulsion plan unmasked Olmert says Road Map dead, Israel must retreat By Ryan Jones March 5th, 2006 Israeli acting-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sees Hamas' recent take over of the Palestinian Authority as the final nail in the coffin of the United States-backed Road Map peace plan, and believes as a result Israel must run for the hills (or in its case, for the indefensible coastal plain). If, as current polls predict, Olmert is installed as Israel's official leader following this month's general election, he will immediately seek international (American) backing for a sweeping unilateral withdrawal from Judea and Samaria...

A 16-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday after postings on the popular Web site MySpace.com allegedly showed him holding handguns, authorities said. The teen was being held at a juvenile detention center facing three misdemeanor charges of juvenile possession of a handgun, said district attorney spokeswoman Pam Russell. He is due in court Feb. 27. Police searched the boy's home after receiving a tip from Evergreen High School on Feb. 10, the same day he was suspended, officials said. School spokesman Rick Kaufman said parents were calling with concerns and some kept their children home after photographs posted on the boy's...

(IsraelNN.com) In a Tuesday evening address to a forum of the Presidents Conference of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem, Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke of his support for a Gaza withdrawal from its earliest stages, adding he was also aware of the level of difficulty involved, but still supported the move. “Their opposition prevented us from assisting them,” added Mr. Olmert.

Despite the forced removal of 10,000 residents, the construction of the Partition Wall and ongoing terror attacks, the number of Jews living in Yesha (Judea and Samaria) increased in 2005. According to figures released by the Peace Now group and confirmed by the Central Bureau of Statistics, 12,000 new residents moved into Judea and Samaria, resulting in a net population growth following the expulsion of close to 10,000 people from communities in Gaza and northern Samaria. The number of Jews living in Judea and Samaria, not counting eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods, is 250,000. The report also says that the natural growth...

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Hamas has apparently won the Palestinian parliamentary election, a senior official of President Mahmoud Abbas's long-dominant Fatah faction said on Thursday. A Hamas victory, if confirmed by official results, would put it in position to dominate a new Palestinian cabinet, which would dramatically shake up the Palestinian Authority and likely put peacemaking with Israel in a deep freeze. "It seems that Hamas will form the next government," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, after a Hamas leader claimed victory in Wednesday's vote. Fatah and Hamas had both said earlier that a coalition...

Hevron Jews Refuse Expulsion Orders 11:34 Jan 03, '06 / 3 Tevet 5766 By Hillel Fendel Dozens of Yassam policemen and soldiers arrived in the Jewish Quarter in Hevron, but failed in their mission of distributing expulsion orders to 11 Jewish families. Kol Rina News Agency reports that the police employed strong violence against civilians, including women and children, who came to protest the expulsion of the Jews from the Jewish-owned land. The police say they were pelted with eggs and paint. The area in question was emptied of its Jews during the Hevron massacre of 1929, when Arab mobs...

IsraelNN.com) Knesset Member Uzi Landau, contender for Likud party chairman, said Wednesday he hopes Likud voters will remember that Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu voted several times for the expulsion law. Landau told Arutz 7 radio that despite polls which show he is in last place in the race, which Netanyahu is leading, voters will think twice and remember that Netanyahu did not act to stop the expulsion plan. He voted for it several times and opposed it in the last vote, when his vote was not significant.

Sacramento, CA (LifeNews.com) -- Earlier this month, a Catholic school in California won praise from pro-life advocates for firing a teacher who volunteered at a Planned Parenthood abortion business. Now, the student whose mother exposed the teacher's activities has been expelled from the school. Katelyn Sills, a sophomore at Loretto High School in southern California, says she has been expelled from the Catholic school because she and her mother exposed the pro-abortion activities of the school's drama teacher. Sills, who is 15, says she received an express mail letter on Saturday detailing her expulsion."As of Saturday, October 29th, I...

More than 40 Catholic colleges were represented on Saturday at a conference that was billed as the nation's first on how gays and lesbians fit in at universities guided by a faith that says their sexual orientation is wrong. But rather than lamenting the Catholic Church's stand on homosexuality, the two-day "Out There" conference at Santa Clara University showed that plenty of gay-related scholarship and student affairs planning is going on in Catholic higher education, said co-organizer Linda Garber. "It's important and interesting to know there are Catholic universities that have offices and staff people specifically geared toward LGBT concerns,"...

THE deportation of US activist Scott Parkin has taken place, with the Department of Immigration confirming he was put on a plane out of the country this morning. Peace protesters had gathered at Melbourne Airport early today in anticipation that he was about to be kicked out. Waving signs saying "Thanks for your non-violence, Scott" and "Peace is the Word", the protesters had hoped to get access to Mr Parkin before he was forced to leave. A supporter, Iain Murray, said it was ludicrous that Mr Parkin, a 36-year-old history teacher, was considered a threat to Australia. "The only threat...

Following the deportation of 8,500 Jews from Gush Katif and northern Shomron, next to be targeted are 11 families living in the marketplace of Hevron, adjacent to the Avraham Avinu neighborhood. The area in question is Jewish-owned, but was emptied of its Jews during the Hevron massacre of 1929 when 67 Jews were slaughtered in their homes and synagogues. Hevron is considered Judaism's second-holiest city because of the presence of the Machpelah Cave in which are buried Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob and Leah. It is located near Kiryat Arba, south of Jerusalem. From the year 1540 until 1929, Jews...

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - In a few long days, Israeli forces have buried any idea that giving up settlements on land Palestinians want for a state would be impossibly traumatic. Some had predicted before Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza pullout that it could be so drawn out, painful and even violent that it might put off for years any removal of more West Bank enclaves seen by Palestinians as a prime obstacle to peace. There was certainly deep personal grief for the Jewish settlers forced from their homes of decades in Gaza and four of the 120 settlements in the occupied...

(IsraelNN.com) Several residents of Gush Katif said Thursday night they will set up a refugee camp in two weeks after learning that the government has not provided them with suitable housing. Rabbi Shimon Cohen, who lived in N'vei Dekalim 22 years, said the residents want to make sure that "Gush Katif will not leave the hearts of the people of Israel," who also must remember the acts of an "evil government." Expulsion victims said they were forced to wait for several hours at the Kisufim crossing before being transferred to a hotel in Be'er Sheva, where they were told they...

Following hours of waiting, the army/police have nearly completed the violent expulsion of over 1,000 youths from N'vei Dekalim's main synagogue. At 3:20 PM, the local police commander announced by megaphone, "Your stay here is illegal. In ten minutes, we will enter and remove you. Buses will take you to Merkaz Shapira and Jerusalem." The large forces began to enter from two, possibly three, different sides some 15 minutes later. The intense prayers continued inside all the while. In the boys' synagogue - the Sephardic one - several of them linked arms and legs in a last attempt to make...

CAIRO, Egypt – The U.S. Embassy has warned Americans not to travel to the Sinai Peninsula following a roadside bombing that lightly wounded two Canadian women attached to a peacekeeping force. Monday's blast, caused by a natural gas canister packed with explosives, targeted a vehicle belonging to the Multinational Force and Observers, an 1,800-member force helping monitor the 1979 Egypt-Israeli peace deal. The embassy statement said the attack followed the reported discovery by Egyptian authorities of one ton of explosives in the north Sinai city of El Arish on Sunday and the reported shooting a day earlier at an intercity...

Neve Dekalim Settlement, Gaza Strip - A group of nine elderly women was dragged away, kicking and screaming, onto a bus by around 50 police and soldiers at Gaza's largest settlement on Wednesday, an AFP correspondent said. "He (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon) has destroyed our lives and it's just one big party for you," screeched one of the women. Another cried out: "You are bringing destruction on Israel." The eviction of the women, who were all in their 60s, came after troops and soldiers moved into the Neve Dekalim settlement with orders to forcibly remove all residents who had...

Israel's Military Intelligence chief, Maj.-Gen. Aharon Ze'evi-Farkash, warned Tuesday that the Palestinian Arabs were preparing to unleash a fresh wave of terrorism on Israelis following Palestinian Authority elections scheduled for late January. Farkash told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that “Palestinian” terror groups were currently transferring manpower, arms and technical know-how to Judea and Samaria, expecting to repeat their perceived victory in Gaza. “We see the West Bank build-up as a ticking time-bomb,” he stated. Farkash said he believed groups such as Hamas would more or less hold to the current terrorist ceasefire until after the elections, but...

A Palestinian woman tried to sneak into Israel with explosives strapped to her body. The dramatic incident was caught by Israeli security cameras at the Erez border crossing in the Gaza Strip. The 21-year-old woman, Wafa al-Biss, aroused the suspicion of soldiers, who demanded that she take off her traditional black robe. Then, they discovered a 10-kilo (22-pound) bomb sown into her underwear. That gesture meant little to the bitter young woman, who told interrogators that she intended to blow herself up in a “noisy, crowded place” and kill as many people as possible. Al-Biss said she was recruited...

Hundreds of thousands of opponents of Israel's pullout from Gaza and part of the West Bank gathered in downtown Tel Aviv Thursday evening for their last large-scale demonstration before the withdrawal is to begin. Police estimated at least 200,000 attended, according to state-run Channel One television. Pro-settler media claimed there were 300,000 present. The demonstrators filled Rabin square in front of Tel Aviv city hall, carrying signs criticizing Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, architect of the pullout, which is planned to begin next week. The theme of the demonstration was "Gush Katif and Samaria, I swear (allegiance)," a slogan painted in...

"Expulsion Dress Rehearsal" halted due to excessive violence by border cops By israelinsider staff and partners August 10, 2005 AP The multi-service division-level training exercise for the security forces which are assigned to evict Jews from Gaza and northern Samaria had to be halted this afternoon by commanders due to excessive violence by trainees. The commanders of the Caracal Battalion halted the exercise, being held in Kerem Shalom in southern Gaza, after soldiers of the Border Guard units taking part were overly violent in their handling of the mock evacuees. Soldiers ordered to play the role of Gush Katif and...

A senior Palestinian religious leader has issued an edict banning shooting attacks against Israeli security forces and settlements, out of concern they might lead to a postponement of the pullout from the Gaza Strip and part of northern Samaria. "Anyone who causes the delay of the withdrawal of the occupation, or prolongs its existence on Islamic soil, is committing a crime according to Islamic law," Sheikh Jamal al-Bawatna, the mufti of the Ramallah district, says in a fatwa issued in the past few days. He was responding to a question from Fatah institutions in the region, asking what should be...

After the actions of the last two days, first approving and then retracting permits to hold the mass rally in Netivot, and then finally giving illegal orders to the police and army to prevent protesters from arriving, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, Chief of Police Moshe Karadi, and Internal Security Minister Gidon Ezra should resign in shame. Their jobs are to serve this country and its people, all its citizens and not just those who agree with government policy. Of fundamental importance is the fact that we live in a democracy. It is the government we have chosen and, if we...

"...What becomes more and more clear each day, however, is that Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan is neither a disengagement nor a plan. Sharon will not disengage the populations. His only plan involves destroying the lives and livelihoods of 9000 Jews. Beyond this, he has no real goal for separating from the Palestinians. No new hospitals will be built in the Gaza Strip to enable Palestinians to have all their medical needs met there. They will continue to come to Israel, even if they do occasionally try to come to our hospitals to blow them up, as 21-year-old Wafa al-Biri planned...

From the very day Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced his policy of disengagement from Gaza and portions of northern Samaria, Israelis have been asked to buy into a set of lies. First off, the media swallowed the phony "disengagement" term hook, line and sinker. Sharon's plan does not disengage anything or anyone. It plainly and simply calls for dismantling Jewish communities and the eviction of Jews from their houses. "Disengagement" is no less of a loaded term than "expulsion." The claim that the plan gets us out of Gaza is also nonsense. Some Israeli communities over the Green Line are...

Clashes Feared Over MacArthur Statue in Incheon Fears of a violent clash mounted Friday after progressive civic groups wanting a statue of U.S. General Douglas MacArthur in Incheon pulled down and conservative groups determined to protect it to the very end announced simultaneous Sunday demonstrations in the city’s Freedom Park. One pro-unification civic group told police it will hold a rally in front of the MacArthur statue from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. The gathering, which it expects to attract 100 people, will call for the expulsion of the U.S. military and the toppling of the statue....
