The expulsion of Jews from Gaza and northern Samaria is a colossal abuse of human rights. But as far as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are concerned, these forced removals are simply not taking place. The renowned human rights champions have been deafeningly quiet about the plight of thousands of people being made to […]

Hundreds of youths are streaming towards the direction of Sa-Nur and Chomesh in the Shomron, the two communities where the expulsion forces will next concentrate. Sa-Nur, Chomesh, Kadim and Ganim are the four northern Shomron communities to be emptied of Jews and razed under PM Sharon’s disengagement/expulsion plan. The latter two are already empty, as […]
