American Jews arrive in Israel to protest expulsion

A group of American Jews arrived in Israel early Monday to join the front line struggle against the expulsion of Jews from Gaza and northern Samaria.

The group arrived in Israel at 3 a.m. on Monday, traveled directly from Ben Gurion Airport to Jerusalem, where some immersed in a mikvah (ritual bath) before ascending the Jewish Temple Mount. From there, the group headed to Sa-Nur, one of the four northern Samarian towns threatened with destruction under the government's Disengagement Plan.

"We are here representing the majority of Americans who are incensed that we are giving a prize to terrorism," said the group's organizer Leib Schaeffer. "The average Joe on the street cannot understand why we are fighting a war against Arab terrorism in Iraq, but having the Jews give a prize to terrorism in Israel. We are also here to show American opposition to Jewish expulsion."
