You don't know how strong you are, that it is impossible to defeat you. You think that you are just a few, facing a tremendous, well-oiled, evil machine that cannot be stopped.
But things that you see from there look totally different from the direction of the evil people who wish to evict you from your homes.
In this case the evil people see things far more clearly.
They see how they haven't really succeeded in uprooting isolated outposts on the hills of Judea and Samaria, and they don't have a clue how to destroy entire settlements. They know that if there is a mass movement in your direction, as occurred on Independence Day, and during the Human Chain, they will be powerless to stop it.
So they have adopted a different approach. They hope that you will evacuate yourselves, and do the job for them. They are therefore trying to make you despair, to entice you to give in, to frighten you. This latest nonsense about three years imprisonment for those who oppose the eviction is solely intended to advance one step further. The first stage is the generation of despair. The appearance is given that everything is happening rapidly, that all the arrangements have been made, and that there's no point in continuing the struggle.
This is followed by the stage of enticement. Take money, lots of money. It will be difficult to receive the money later, but now they're bringing it to your doorstep. Their representative has a kippa on his head and he writes you poisonous letters tasting of honey. You only have to taste it ? and you're caught in the net.
Now comes the stage of frightening you: Three years in prison, or five years for someone possessing a weapon.
You should realize that this behavior on their part strongly indicates the tremendous fear that has overcome these evil people. They look at you and see your great moral strength. They know that if this continues they don't stand a chance, and they are feeling the pressure. People who threaten a women with three years' imprisonment for opposing the eviction of her children from her home admit that they are feeling pressure, a great deal of pressure.
You are probably asking yourselves, what can you do? You should know that you are doing exactly the right thing in the best possible way. With your clarity of thinking, your great belief, your unceasing devotion ? just ignore them. Don't let the media spin make you give up hope! Don't be tempted by their offers of money!
Don't let the threats of imprisonment frighten you! Simply continue your normal lives and don't give in.
You're not alone in the battle. The Jewish people stands behind you, supports you and, even more important, is supported by you. The Likud also stands behind you.
The person doing it to you no longer has a party or public support. He is backed only by the media.
In the end, someone will re-commence the struggle initiated by Zo Artzeinu at the time of Oslo, a struggle that will transfer its focus from you to the center of the country, but we won't discuss this now. Now you simply have to hold on.
The evil people are already sweating because they know that you won't give in.
