The residents of the Machpelah House, who were evacuated on Wednesday by Israeli forces, today, 13 Nissan 5772, established a protest tent in that area.
Residents explain they purchased the building and the acquisition is legal beyond the shadow of a doubt, yet they were evicted by the defense ministry due to his political agenda.
After the eviction of the 15 families, security forces sealed the building, explaining once the judicial system has its say, the building will be reopened to the residents should the legal authorities rule in their favor.
Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to visit the city during Chol Hamoed Pesach and security forces will be out in force to ensure the yomtov passes without incident.

In seforim we Yidden are sometimes referred to as “sonayhem shel yisroel”. I wonder if this story is one of the reasons…………
no matter of political institutions had any say in the process from the lowest to the highest
instead israel is being given the stick up by a junta of about 2 people supposted by the muscle of israels supreme court verdict
the rest is all hobbies and fanfare
can you really at this juncture truly decide to set course?
