'A promise is a promise'
Shavua tov, a good week to everyone.The Yesha Council (Judea and Samaria Council) has taken out advertisements and purchased billboards with quotes from Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Likud cabinet ministers to remind them that a promise is a promise. The slogan relates to the commitment that was made that the 'settlement freeze' in Judea and Samaria would not be extended.
The “A Promise is a Promise” campaign has put up billboards quoting statements from Netanyahu and members of his cabinet which unequivocally confirm that the current Judea and Samaria building freeze will not be extended.I have not seen any billboards or advertisements. If anyone else has, please send pictures (*.jpg, *.gif or *.png format) and I will add them to this post.
"The things that the prime minister, and most of his ministers, said regarding the fact that the freeze will not be extended are very clear... This is a contract between elected officials and the public – they gave their word – their trustworthiness lies in the balance,” said Judea and Samaria council head Danny Dayan.
Netanyahu agreed to prohibit construction in Judea and Samaria for ten months in order to bring the Palestinian Authority to the negotiating table. The PA has refused to hold direct talks, demanding that Israel first freeze construction in much of Jerusalem, but has agreed to indirect “proximity talks” through American mediators.
Netanyahu has repeatedly said that the building freeze is a one-time, temporary measure, members of the Yesha council said. However they said, “These statements will shortly be put to the most decisive test, the American test.”
"Netanyahu is flying to Washington next week, and there he will apparently be pressured to continue the freeze,” they explained.

Last Thursday, the Likud Central Committee unanimously adopted a resolution supporting construction in Judea and Samaria when the 10-month freeze ends. On Monday, Members of Knesset, led by MK Yaakov Katz, held a conference on the damage caused by the freeze to date.

There was an ad in Friday's Makor Rishon - but since I'm scanner-less, I can't send you a jpeg...
The Yesha Council is a sham. It won't lift a finger to save the people of Yehuda and Shomron it's supposed to represent.
The Yesha Council is worse then a sham, it's part of the client regime. They, along with the gov't will betray the Jews of Judea and Samaria.
I don't expect the promise to be expect. Anti-Semites have been wrong about everything except one thing: the Jews excel in treachery towards their own people.
We can only pray Israel's government proves them wrong!
What could go wrong indeed
