Expellees of Amona are planning to hold a press conference on Thursday, 4 Adar 5777, at which time they will be announcing a hunger strike. They explain it has been a month since Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu promised to relocate them within a month to their new community but today, they remain homeless.
On December 18, 2016, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu promised Amona residents that if they agree to evacuate without a struggle, the State of Israel would relocate them to a new community within a month. This was announced in private as well as publicly by PM Netanyahu.
The expellee residents explain they will maintain their hunger strike opposite the Prime Minister’s Residence until such time he fulfills his promise to them.

Hunger strikes only works for Arabs because of the government’s fear of outcry from the UN and other anti-Semitic countries out there. But for Jews to do this shtik is worthless. They’ll let you continue hunger striking until your death.
#2 You should have known better than trust Netanyahu’s “promises” which he almost never fulfills.
#3 Most of the 9,000 Jews expelled from Gaza 11.5 years ago are still homeless, jobless without financial income and haven’t received the “promised” compensation. Did you expect this expulsion to be any better?
This expulsion of Jews from OUR JEWISH LAND is a ridiculous injustice against the Jews all over the world.
The government is pathetic, grovelling to the evil forces of the world.
