Parking spots in Israel are normally indicated with blue and white curbside markings. Orange and white markings were painted last night near the Ramat Aviv shopping mall, accompanied by letters of explanation.
"Good morning, dear residents," the letters read. "We believe that as strong supporters of the disengagement plan (or perhaps not...), and as people who are essentially humanitarian, you will be happy to welcome in your homes the uprooted Jews of Gush Katif and northern Shomron. We are sure that you would be happy to take their place and live 'temporarily' in one of the 'luxurious caravilot' being prepared for them on the sands of Nitzanim."
Caravilot are the upgraded mobile homes without wheels into which the families are supposed to move this summer for an indefinite amount of time until their permanent housing is ready.
"As an advance move," the letter continues, "we have marked in orange and white the parking spaces that will be reserved for the uprooted Jews. Therefore, please do not park in these spots, thus showing the contribution that you are willing to make on behalf of the expulsion plan."
In another initiative, most of the cars in Maaleh Adumim were adorned with orange ribbons over the night. Orange ribbons tied to car antennas have become the most widespread symbol of opposition to the disengagement plan.
