On the settlement of Sa-Nur. The settlement of Sa-Nur was situated in north of Samaria, in the area of Dotan valley. It was a quiet artist colony that was inhabited by artist from the former Soviet Union and also by young families of religious settlers. The settlement was quiet, pleasant and peaceful, with a wonderful view and clean air. Life their was pleasant and happy, despite occasional attempts by terror forces to attack the settlement or its settlers on the roads leading to the settlement. For the artists it was a place of inspiration for their art, and for the young families a spiritual place where thy can raise their children, learn Torah and work. One day, after the Israeli government headed by Ariel Sharon decided that for its narrow political needs the Jewish settlers of north Samaria and Aza must be expelled from their homes, in August 2005 policemen wearing black uniforms and caring clubs accompanied by Israeli army soldiers who's task is to protect the people of Israel, came and expelled all the settlers of Sa-Nur from their modest homes. They destroyed the whole settlement, including the Turkish fortress which was a historic sit at the center of the settlement, and left the hill of Sa-Nur ruined and bare. They did not do so in order to bring peace, nor in order to give the land to the Palestinian authorities, they just left it lonely and bare to this day because Sharon's government wanted some sort of political gain for itself. The settlers were expelled and like refugees scattered all over the country, were they suffer daily from financial and physical and mental hardships, as a result of their cruel expulsion, and the settlement of Sa-Nur remains ruined and bare somewhere in the heart of north Samaria. We will not forget and not forgive, the cruel act of the expulsion and pogrom done on to the settlers of Sa-Nur, we did not abandon it, and we still love it, the settlement of Sa-Nur, and all the holy land of Israel. We are certain that a day will come when we will rebuild and resettle it anew, and we await and look forward to this day, which we hope will be very soon. We will not waiver or forget and we will always be with you Sa-Nur.
Long live the king Messiah.
