 Last Jew to leave Hebron after 1929 massacre to back settler claims
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent
By the time Yosef Ezra was four years old, his family was the only
Jewish family still in Hebron following the 1929 massacre. They left
only in 1947, a day after the UN voted to establish the state of
Israel. He still has clear memories of his 15 years in the city.
Today, Ezra is 75 and lives in Jerusalem. But he still has
registration documents for the Hebron lands and houses owned by both
his family and Magen Avot, an umbrella organization of Sephardi
yeshivas in the city. So this morning, he intends to publicly come to
the aid of today's Jewish residents of Hebron, at a High Court of
Justice hearing on whether those residents should be allowed to remain
in the so-called "Triangle Market."
A Civil Administration appeals committee decided a few months ago that
the families could continue living in the market, until a final
decision was made on the legality of their presence. It thereby
rejected the position of the custodian of government property in the
West Bank, who had wanted them evicted immediately. Peace Now then
petitioned the court against the committee's decision, and the State
Prosecutor's Office announced that it sided with Peace Now.

Permission to speak
When Ezra heard that, he decided to go to court today and request
permission to speak. The settlers have asked that he be added to the
petition as a respondent.
"I never waived my rights, and those of my family, in these
properties," he said. "But until we get this property back, I and
descendants of other families expelled from Hebron have allowed the
Hebron settlers to maintain them and use them."
Ezra claims that unlike other Jewish property in Hebron, his family's
property was never taken over by the Jordanian custodian of absentee
property.
"I personally traveled to Jordan and checked whether there was an
expropriation order for those stores in the Triangle Market," he said.
"There is no such thing. Thus the Israeli custodian is not the
successor of the Jordanian custodian. This belongs to my family, and
we want Jews to continue to live there; we want the Jewish community
of Hebron to continue to exist."
Property's owner
Ezra is furious at the state for not consulting him, the property's
owner - despite the fact that in his capacity as chairman of the
Hebron Refugees Committee, he conducted a voluminous correspondence
with the state for years in an effort to get Jewish properties
returned to their original owners.
Ezra's relationship with the Hebron settlers is a lengthy one, though
it has had ups and downs. More than 25 years ago, he participated in
the cornerstone-laying ceremony of a new Jewish neighborhood in the
compound of Hebron's Avraham Avinu Synagogue. Years earlier, he and
other former Hebron residents met with then defense minister Moshe
Dayan. "Dayan promised to return the Jewish property to us," Ezra
said. "He promised, but he didn't deliver."
When Menachem Begin was prime minister, the government offered the
Hebron refugees alternative land near Netanya, if they would waive
their claims to the Jewish property in Hebron, Ezra related. The
families refused.
In the years before 1947, Ezra's father used to pass intelligence to
David Raziel, commander of the pre-state underground Etzel (Irgun
Tzvai Leumi). If one of his Arab neighbors died, he would spend hours
in the mourning tent to assess the mood and to get wind of any plans
to attack or incite against Jews. Ezra believes that his father's
association with Raziel is why the state refused to compensate the
Hebron refugees, the way it did for people driven out of Gush Etzion
and other West Bank communities: Etzel was affiliated with the
political opposition to the ruling Mapai Party.
No symmetry
Ezra sees no symmetry between his demand that Jewish property in
Hebron be returned to its original owners, and Palestinians' desire to
regain their property in Jaffa, Acre, Ramle and Lod. "Every war has
consequences," he said. "That's the price the Arabs ought to pay for
the trouble they made."
He believes the Hebron settlers are "true pioneers, among the last who
are putting Zionism into practice."
Ezra says that his family came to Israel from Spain following the
Spanish expulsion of 1492. After nine months in Gaza, they moved to
Hebron, and remained there continuously for the next 450 years.
Once, he said, there were excellent relations between Jews and Arabs
in Hebron. But today, the Arabs, "like Peace Now and the prosecution,
simply want Hebron to be free of Jews. I will fight that with all my
strength.

 are putting Zionism into practice."
ovviamente  Nahum è d'accordo, perchè lui vuole che non ci sia nessuna
pace, come non ci sarà finchè rimarranno i coloni in Cisgiordania...

sempre a proposito dei veri pionieri che stano mettendo in pratica il
sionismo (il che la dice lunga sulla concezione del sionismo di
Nahum):
"Secondo un rapporto pubblicato dal gruppo israeliano di difesa dei
diritti umani B'Tselem, violenze e attacchi contro i palestinesi a
Hebron, ad opera di coloni e militari, sono in forte aumento negli
ultimi mesi. Tutto è cominciato a marzo, quando alcuni coloni
israeliani si sono installati in un edificio conteso, suscitando le
proteste della popolazione locale, secondo cui si tratterebbe di
un'occupazione abusiva. Da allora, accusa il rapporto di B'Tselem, si
sono verificate dozzine di aggressioni ai residenti palestinesi della
zona, anche in pieno giorno, senza che l'esercito si mai intervenuto
in loro difesa."

ma ovviamente solo chi sta in Israele può capire che i coloni hanno
ragione da vendere...o forse, solo chi è razzista può capire le
ragioni dei razzisti..

 the trouble they made."
Ezra e' un razzista.
Nuff said.

 ovviamente  Nahum è d'accordo,
anche questa te la sei inventata,

hai dimenticato di aggiungere che lui è ebreo e che la sua famiglia ha
visto da vicino di cosa sono capaci gli arabi (oops, certi arabi -
quelli alleati con i nazi)

mentre i palestinesi CONTINUANO A VEDERE tutti i giorni da vicino di
cosa sono capaci gli israeliani (oops, certi israeliani - quelli che
fanno parte dell'esercito dell'UDDMO)
