The Sovereignty Youth continues its hasbara campaign with a large-scale operation that reached about fifty junctions throughout the country, for discussion and distribution of information materials
With the onset of summer vacation, the Youth for Sovereignty Movement is continuing its publicity campaign which it launched in recent weeks.
Tuesday, July 3 (20 Tammuz), members of the Sovereignty Youth Movement went out to intersections throughout Israel, where they held an additional publicity and distribution campaign to promote the political initiative for the application of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.
The youth set up stands and distributed publicity material, flyers and stickers containing the essence of the political philosophy upon which the sovereignty initiative is based, also calling to Knesset members and Ministers who have already pledged allegiance to the idea of sovereignty, to move from the declarative stage to the action stage and to promote sovereignty legislation in the Knesset and in the government.
Hallel Suissa, Coordinator of the Sovereignty Youth, relates about the extraordinary vigilance and organization among the youth to reach some 50 intersections throughout Israel to distribute publicity material and to engage in discussions with passers-by in order to implant the concept of sovereignty in all segments of Israeli society.
Suissa notes that the date of the publicity campaign was chosen precisely because it is the beginning of the Three Weeks of mourning for the destruction of the Holy Temple between the 17th of Tammuz and Tisha B’Av.
“It is specifically during these days that we pray that the sorrow will be transformed into joy and the mourning will be transformed into celebration. May we be privileged to witness the rebuilding of Jerusalem and of the entire Land of Israel. The path to that objective passes on the track of application of sovereignty by the nation of Israel on their land.”
“The youth plans to render the summer vacation more meaningful with the impetus of publicity to promote the vision of sovereignty,” says Suissa who calls upon additional youth from all over the country to join. She notes that this is one in a series of events, which began some two months ago with the establishment of publicity stands, hanging billboards and distributing publicity materials throughout the country, along with the first Youth for Sovereignty conference in Jerusalem, which attracted more than 1,200 young people from throughout Israel. This series of events will continue with the upcoming “Sovereignty in the Living Room” event and “Sovereignty Shabbat”, and later with a special conference of activists that will take place at Oz VeGaon in Gush Etzion.
The heads of the Sovereignty Movement, Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar, congratulate the youth for taking the initiative and for assuming responsibility. “Just as we were filled with admiration to see the beginning of the publicity campaign initiated by the youth, we are moved to see the youth continue with the initiative, and not let up. Indeed, the youth of Israel possesses profound, significant historic consciousness. The youth understands the enormity of the moment and the window of political opportunity that has opened before the leadership in Israel with a supportive American government and Arab countries that are occupied with their own challenges. The youth sees all this and does not intend to enable the Israeli leadership to again “miss the train” on the road to sovereignty. The youth demands of its leaders immediate action toward the application of sovereignty and to guarantee a better political, security, economic and social future.”
Katsover and Matar emphasize that declarations of the majority of government ministers and coalition members regarding their support for the vision of sovereignty are put to the test of action at this time. “The youth, and not only the youth, is waiting for leadership that will lead and fulfill its commitment and take practical steps to promote the vision.”
