      Peace House Campaign Moves to Facebook


      Supports of the Jewish Peace Hose in Hevron are using the Facebook website operation to mobilize protests to the Israel embassy in the United States over the planned expulsion of the Jewish residents in the building. The court ordered the expulsion although it ruled that a civil court must decide who owns the building. Jews have presented filmed and recorded evidence of the purchase of the building last year form an Arab, who later denied having sold it.

      Organizers of the protest movement said that more than 700 people already have signed up without any widespread publicity. Those signing up on the site can leave messages, such as one written by a protester named Oded. He wrote that American citizens have a right to tell the Israeli government not to expel Jews from Hevron because taxpayers help fund billions of dollars in aid to the Jewish State.
