Ulpana families being expelled
Sixteen families are being expelled from their homes in Beit El's Ulpana neighborhood on Tuesday morning in accordance with the Supreme Court's diktat that they be expelled. Most of the families are expected to leave peacefully. The government will build them new homes... eventually.... Immediately after the prayer service, 16 families from the Ulpana outpost on the outskirts of the community will relocate to modular housing in Beit El, in keeping with the High Court of Justice mandate that their homes must be relocated by July 1.It is time to end the dictatorship of Israel's self-perpetuating leftist 'Supreme Court.' It is time for the representatives of the people of Israel to take control of the judicial selection process and to end the tyranny of the unelected court.
On Thursday, another 17 families will leave.
The court has ordered the state to act against five apartment buildings and three caravans in Ulpana, which were built without permits on private Palestinian property. The state plans to move the structures onto an authorized tract of land in Beit El, in a process that will take a year.
Residents agreed to peacefully leave their homes in an agreement reached with the state last week. They did so in exchange for assurances from the government that it would build 300 new homes in Beit El and that the state would no longer support the demolition of Jewish homes in the West Bank in its responses to High Court petitions.
Ulpana residents objected to the term “voluntary evacuation,” since theirs was a forced and painful removal even if they were leaving peacefully.
They promised to continue to build and develop Judea and Samaria with the same determination which had brought them to Ulpana.
