Settlers preparing Gush Katif protest camp for supporters

[Violet_Crumble]

The settlers' leaders have begun preparations for building protest camps in Gush Katif to accommodate tens of thousands of people who are expected to come to help them resist the evacuation.

The Yesha council and the Gush Katif council have ordered 1,200 tents, 1,000 chemical toilets, some 100 generators in case their power supply is cut off, thousands of meters of cables and thousands of light bulb sockets, Neveh Dekalim secretariat chairman Lior Kalfa told Haaretz Tuesday.

Preparations include a large protest camp near Neveh Dekalim, and other smaller ones in other settlements in the Gaza Strip.

We are preparing for the possibility that the state will try to evacuate us, and we must take care of tens of thousands of people who will arrive to support us in the struggle against the uprooting," Kalfa said.

1. Just to round out the cite

Notwithstanding the preparations, many Gush Katif residents and councils are refraining at this stage from taking in families and yeshivas wishing to move to Gush Katif and stay there in the coming months.

Several settlements, for example, refused to take in the Kotel Yeshiva, which finally set up a branch in Netzer Hazani.

A number of yeshivas that checked with the leaders of settlements were rejected, as were numerous families."

2. I guess we could get round the copyright restrictions doing this...

I'll post the first four, then you post the next four, and so on and so on. And it's the copyright restrictions that's the reason that I don't 'round out the cites'...
