"Jews don’t expel Jews," read stickers plastered over the locks, and notices posted on the doors stated, "If government offices continue to cooperate with the corrupt regime, their chapters all around the country will be paralyzed. If roads to Gush Katif are closed, so will be other roads across the country... If the residents of Israel don't wake up, the entire country will be closed down and locked up!"
Dozens of locks were sealed up on doors of offices of the Interior Ministry, the Postal Authority, National Insurance, Income Tax and others. The offices are located in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Givatayim, Ramat Gan, Bnei Brak, Herzliya, Holon, Bat Yam and elsewhere. One cell of activists was arrested - in Jerusalem - but the others completed their "mission" without encountering a single policeman.
The protestors sealed the locks by squirting contact glue into them. The locks were opened by locksmiths and maintenance people who were called to the scene this morning.
A statement issued by the organizers reads, "The dictatorial regime has pushed us into a corner, and is acting without restraint against all security forecasts, in an undemocratic and unethical manner." Many leading army officers and analysts say that a terrorism upswing is expected if the withdrawal from Gaza is implemented.
"The bulldozers who are turning a blind eye to all the customary methods of protests," continues the statement, "leave us no choice but to take actions of this nature, until this terrible expulsion decree is canceled."
On the other hand, some anti-disengagement protests are not as "innocent" as they appear. Organizers of the Bayit Leumi (National Home) protest organization say that some of the recent road-blockings, and talk of a second "Massive Road Blocking Test," are the work of provocateurs, and not genuine anti-disengagement protestors.
National Home sources say that road-blockings have begun to cause animosity in the public, and that no further such events are planned until the government declares Gush Katif "closed."
Official anti-disengagement protest groups say that road-blockings should be coordinated with them, so as not to allow police or GSS provocateurs to sabotage the effort.
Protestors from Kfar Chabad say that the police attempted to intimidate them, filming them and writing down their names as they conducted a legal and peaceful protest. The incident occurred this past Thursday, when some 30 of them stood at the Beit Dagon junction near Tel Aviv giving out anti-expulsion literature.
"A police officer came over and told us where exactly to stand," one participant said, "and soon afterwards a large group of policemen came over and told us to leave. We refused, explaining that we were standing where an officer had told us to stand, and that we were not violating any law. One of the officers then began filming each of us individually. At the same time, other policemen asked our names and wrote them down. Some of us said that we refuse to give our names when we are doing nothing wrong. We know that they are trying to scare us and to break us."
