Israeli political classes suffer from a severe case of cognitive dissonance. They seem to understand that mistreating Arabs will cause a backlash. Yet, they fail to comprehend that the same holds true for mistreating Jews. Abused Religious-Zionists are destined to rule Israel in the near future, as their percentage of the population continues to grow rapidly. Once in power they will for certain be kinder to the opposition than the militant secularist were when they were in power.
Neriah Ofan is a hero of biblical proportions. He did his military service in the IDF’s elite undercover Duvdevan unit and was highly decorated for bravery. He lives with his wife and five children in the Lehavah outpost (Yitzhar) with nine other families. A true warrior, he has dedicated his life to defending the right of Jews to live anywhere in the land that God gave to their ancestors. Unfortunately, he is currently in exile, put there by an administrative restraining order from his own government.
One of the Jewish residents of Samaria to be barred from his home by IDF order is Neriah Ofan, formerly a decorated soldier from the elite undercover Duvdevan unit. In recent years, Ofan has restored an ancient tradition by organizing marches around the walls of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on the eve of every Jewish calendar month.
Ofan received the order banning him from his home in Yitzhar after midnight last night.
“The establishment is pursuing those who threaten to replace it. I will continue to spread the word and wake people up in an effort to replace the regime with an authentic Jewish establishment,” Ofan said.
The IDF banned Ofan from his home, along with 19 others, in 2006, again without any charges being placed and no due process. Prior to the 2005 Disengagement, Ofan was jailed without trial via administrative detention order due to fears by the government that his logistical skills in organizing the monthly encirclement of the Temple Mount were being used to organize opposition to the expulsion.
