Israelis are forming a human chain from the Temple Mount to Gush Katif this Sunday. Americans are having local sympathy chain events. Gush Katif needs your help in persuading Congressmen to show their support.
Do not let Ariel Sharon singlehandedly drive Jews from their homes in Gaza. Do not let Ariel Sharon try to give away Biblical Israel.
This was sent by Zimra (Siegman) Shlezinger.
Dear Friends,
In less than one week from now, on Sunday, July 25th, at 5:00 pm (Israel time), supporters of Israel will join hands and create a human chain from Gush Katif to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Recently, our Prime Minister announced his “unilateral disengagement plan”, which calls for the forced expulsion and deportation of the 8,000 courageous Jewish men, women and children who live in Gush Katif.
We will stand together, linked in a human chain, on the eve of Tish’a B’Av, the day on which we commemorate the destruction of our First and Second Temples and the expulsion of the Jewish people from our land. Our human chain will be a living testament to the determination of the Jewish people to prevent the repetition of destruction and expulsion in our day and age.
Prime Minister Sharon claims that his plan was drawn up in response to demands from the United States. We know that the American people support the rights of the Jewish people in their Biblical Homeland. We need Senators/Representatives from the USA to join our chain and show support and solidarity with our struggle either in person or via a letter or video clip with a statement of solidarity. We will view/read it in a place that will be saved in our chain.
We need your help in contacting Senators and Representatives, who are generally supportive of Israel.
Please let us know you name and which Senators/ Representatives you sent faxes to. Write to: zimra1@netvision.net.il
Thank you.
Zimra (Siegman) Shlezinger
Representative, The Committee for the Preservation of Jewish Settlements

Dear
On Sunday, July 25th, at 5:00 pm, Jews and non-Jews, will join hands across Israel and create a human chain from Gush Katif to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
They will stand together, linked in a human chain, on the eve of Tish’a B’Av, the day which commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples and the expulsion of the Jewish people from their land. This human chain will be a living testament to the determination of the Jewish people to prevent the repetition of destruction and expulsion in our day and age.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon claims that his plan was drawn up in response to demands from the United States. You represent the people of the United States. The American people support the rights of the Jewish people in their Biblical Homeland.
We are asking you to show your support and solidarity and join this chain. If you cannot go to Israel at this time, please fax a letter or send a video clip with a statement of solidarity to:
