Nationalist activists in Hevron have asked the public Monday to give them information regarding the government’s intention to expel the residents of Hevron's Peace House, known in Hebrew as "Beit HaShalom." The Movement for the Struggle Against the Expulsion of Beit HaShalom also asked for help from the soldiers themselves to alert them if there is any army preparation for an expulsion.
An announcement issued by the group appealed: “Transfer to us all information about troop concentration, troop movement, and training. Also [transfer information regarding] logistical planning such as: transportation, food, and medical preparation. Be alert to suspicious traffic when you are traveling on the roads. Ask your children and neighbors in the army to be alert. Do not hesitate to contact us. We will filter and check the information.”
The activists announced that they fear the government is planning secretly for the expulsion. They are worried that Minister of Defense Ehud Barak is planning a midnight expulsion at Peace House similar to that which was conducted at the nearby homestead of Noam Federman. Since activists had not known about the impending expulsion there were only a few residents of the farm present and they were able to offer little resistance.
The Movement for the Struggle Against the Expulsion of Beit HaShalom also asked for activists to come to the Peace House building, starting Monday. “Come prepared for at least a 48 hour stay,” said the statement.
