We are happy to present you with our 21th Sovereignty bulletin, sent to members and supporters of our Sovereignty Movement. You are invited to read, get updated and join:
Dear Friends,
Once more, a Jews has been murdered in a terror attack, by a terrorist, an emissary of those who believe that the pressure of terrorism will result in Israeli surrender and will lead to the establishment of an enemy state, Heaven forbid, on the ruins of Israel.
Our hearts are with the family of the murder victim, Rabbi Shay Ohayon, Hy”d. The entire family of the Jewish People is his family.
The Israeli response must be resolute and a return to the most basic values of Zionism: an iron fist to strike the enemy, settlement to strengthen the hold on our only Land and sovereignty, which will make clear to the entire world, the essence of the courageous connection between the People of Israel and its Land.
The application of sovereignty is an ethical and historic Zionist obligation and is not intended to punish the enemy that seeks to destroy us, nevertheless, it has the added value of erasing the Arab aspirations to establish another state in the heart of our Land. The government of Israel must act according to Zionist-Jewish interests and only according to them, to apply the State of Israel’s sovereignty in Judea and Samaria and cut off the hope that provides a tailwind to fill the sails of Arab terror.
Watch the video that was filmed by Ezri Tubi from the funeral of Rav Ohayon, Hy”d:
Enough destruction, it is time for Sovereignty !
Once again the High Court publishes an outrageous and inconceivable decision, once again the High Court judges seek to uproot , demolish and expel an entire Jewish community, and this time it is Mitzpe Kramim in Binyamin.
We pray that the political and legal system will recover and find the solution that will change the decision, but past experience is very worrying. It is difficult to assume that the High Court that ordered the demolition of Jewish communities and neighborhoods throughout Judea and Samaria and has not cancelled any such decision so far, will do so now, but we are commanded not to despair and continue to fight in all sectors, with lawyers, politicians, public figures, activists and supporters from everywhere.
Once again, we reiterate our call for the one step that will equalize the parts of the Land of Israel, which will prevent discrimination that screams to heaven and entails such angled and difficult decisions, this is the step of sovereignty.
The application of the sovereignty of the State of Israel in Judea and Samaria will equate the existing law in all other parts of the State of Israel with what is happening in the heart of our country, in Judea and Samaria. In this way not only will the Zionist vision be implemented after two thousand years of expectation, but it will also put an end to the distorted use of Ottoman laws, Mandatory laws and military governance laws. By doing so the principle that rules in the rest of the country will finally also be applied to Judea and Samaria that when it has been proved that some land belongs to some person, that person will be properly and lawfully compensated but there will be no destruction and displacement. This is such a simple, logical and desirable law and all that prevents its application is the lack of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.
We have had enough with small and local solutions. It is time for a comprehensive and just response to the entire settlement enterprise - the application of sovereignty of Israel over Judea and Samaria!
Our expectations from a Rightwing Leader
“…from a right-wing prime minister, we expect to increase Israel’s power with courageous acts of leadership, that do not depend even on the president of our great friend, the U.S. Israel has her own considerations and interests and she should act only according to those. A declaration of sovereignty could have been such a dramatic step, a step that could have resulted in the entire world hearing and being exposed to the historic truth and justice that the People of Israel carries. Such a step would have also made clear to the Arabs of Judea and Samaria who the Land really belongs to, could have erased their longing to establish a state on our ruins, and would ultimately have yielded stability, security and calm”. (An excerpt from an article that we published in the newspaper Besheva titled “The People demand a Right wing Prime Minister” and appears in the Sovereignty website)

Do not weaken, there will be sovereignty
In a special interview for the Sovereignty website, the head of Binyamin Council, Yisrael Gantz, states that there is no reason to stop the public pressure on the Israeli government and its leader, with the demand to apply sovereignty.
Political interests in Israel change from hour to hour and if it is clear that sovereignty is what will lead the right camp to victory, it will happen, even during Netanyahu’s term. For this reason, Ganz says, the matter of sovereignty must be the main topic on the daily agenda, continuously.
In the interview, he tells about things that he himself said to Netanyahu, just before the announcement of the Trump plan, and shortly thereafter, they came true and became a political reality.

To me, sovereignty is…
And this time, our guest is Member of Knesset Keren Barak of the Likud:
“For me, sovereignty is a natural, simple and necessary step for the homeland of the Jewish People.
Especially these days, days of crisis, the application of sovereignty is the answer and the solution. There is a critical significance to the preservation of the border and for the security of the citizens of Israel and I will not compromise on this. I will continue to act toward the application of sovereignty. I believe that the application of sovereignty will unite us as a people toward a common goal!”
We are continuing at full power
The Sovereignty Youth is continuing to mobilize to spread the vision, as usual, but especially these days.
On Thursday, dozens of members of Sovereignty Youth held a large-scale hasbara campaign in all parts of the Land. The youths set out to the general public, to explain the importance of the vision of sovereignty, to enlist supporters and also try to raise donations.
The teens tell of an impressive success. Talia Ram-On, one of the leaders of the operation, tells of many activists who came with a sense of mission and a desire to spread the idea of sovereignty and its importance and expand the circles of activity and support of the movement. "We received many encouraging responses, there were also arguments and the youth had conversations, answered questions and explained. It was a good and happy feeling to find out that the public has heard about us, knows what the sovereignty movement is, that people wear bracelets. There is much more awareness in the Israeli street of the idea of sovereignty than there was in the past, "says Ram-On.
Parting, but with a sense of mission
In an article that we published in The Jewish Press, we parted from Helen Freedman, obm, director of AFSI, with great pain but also with a sense of obligation to continue to move the vision of sovereignty forward until its implementation.
Helen was a living and fresh wind in the sails of the sovereignty ship. We spoke of the twinkle in her eye when she heard about our movement and the vision of sovereignty, of her determination and full mobilization for the idea in an article that we also published in the Sovereignty website.
