1,700 personalized letters were sent out this week by the Disengagement Authority to the homes of residents slated for expulsion as part of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s Disengagement Plan. The letters were also sent inadvertently to residents who had been murdered in terrorist attacks over the past years.



“Only one who conspires to uproot people from their homes is capable of offering compensation and relocation to those murdered defending their homes, in the dying hope that the land they lived on would be acquired through their blood,” Miriam Eldar, a resident of Sa-Nur, told Arutz 7. “The Prime Minister’s Office and his messenger Yonatan Bassi display their treachery, insensitivity and just how out of touch they are with the reality in Israel. Bassi’s letter will be thrown in the trash and Sharon’s expulsion plan will also fall into the dustbin of history.”



Signed by Disengagement Authority head Yonatan Bassi, the letters deal with the rights of residents to receive compensation from the government for their property. The letters promise full confidentiality and invite residents to begin receiving advanced compensation.



“We are well aware of the many personal, societal and economic ramifications of this program,” conclude the letters. “We will do all we can to help you in the most sensitive, fair and professional manner that we can.”
