The Tuesday protest, to be held at 6 PM outside the Prime Minister's Residence near the Sheraton Plaza and Kings Hotels, is entitled, "Have you both expelled and thrown to the trash?" It was initiated by residents of the community of Talmon in the southern Shomron.
"Our brothers from Gush Katif and northern Shomron were thrown to the garbage by the government," the promotional literature states. "Their situation is deteriorating, and we are silent!"
The purpose of the protest is three-fold:
• to place the issue of the expellees' plight on the national agenda
• to create pressure on the government to speed up the solutions
• to show solidarity with our brothers the expellees
Those who wish to participate have been asked to spread the message to their acquaintances and relatives, to prepare signs and posters, and to bring laundry clips as well; the purpose was not explained.
On Wednesday at the Binyanei HaUmah Convention Center in the capital, various "orange" [anti-disengagement] groups will hold an event entitled, "We will not forget and we will not forgive." In the course of the event, the organizers will declare the establishment of a museum called "The Destruction of Ariel," which will memorialize the expulsion of the Jews of Gush Katif and northern Shomron.
The event is planned as the "opening shot" for the continued campaign to preserve Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty. Soldiers who refused disengagement orders and some of those who were imprisoned for their anti-expulsion efforts will receive certificates of honor. Rabbis and public figures will address the audience.
The organizers say that the gathering will be a "penetrating reckoning of what happened, and a way of learning lessons in anticipation of the future, in order to do all we can to stop the continued destruction and withdrawals." A very large response has already been registered for attendance, the organizers report.
