A Personal Message to You, Dear Friend of Israel!

In the Bible, the Almighty G-d promised the Jewish people the entire Land of Israel. Jews have always lived in the Promised Land throughout history, and at the end of the 19th century, a large wave of Jews began returning to the Land of Israel.

In 1917, towards the end of the First World War, the British Government, upon receiving the Mandate over the Land of Israel, decided to issue The Balfour Declaration, which assured the establishment of a Jewish State in all of the Land of Israel. This decision was reinforced at the San Remo Conference, which confirmed the Jewish people’s right to reconstruct a Jewish entity throughout all areas of the Land of Israel – a Jewish kingdom in its homeland after 2,000 years of exile.

After the Holocaust, the Divine promise came to fruition and in 1948, the Jewish State was established – the State of Israel. We grew rapidly – from a population of 600,000 in 1948, we are now almost 10 million, of whom close to 80% are Jews.

In 1967, during the Six-Day War, the areas of Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley (as well as Gaza and the Golan Heights) were liberated from the Arabs and we gradually began to repopulate the heart of the Eretz Israel.

We returned to Hebron, to Shechem, to Bethlehem, to Shilo, to Jericho and to all our holy sites. With God’s mercy, we also returned to the Temple Mount and to all of our eternal capital, the Holy City of Jerusalem.

Step by step, gaining momentum, group after group of young zionists began to repopulate Judea, Samaria, the Jerusalem Hills and the Jordan Valley. The difficulties were almost insurmountable and Israeli governments did not always give their full blessing. But the Land cried out to us and with monumental dedication and effort, we grew – from zero Jews to over 500,000 Jews living in dozens upon dozens of vibrant communities – in cities, villages, and rural neighborhoods.

Again, it was never easy. There always were and are many obstacles along the way. Nevertheless, our determination and persistence were always strong and our unshakeable faith in this being our country dictated our continued and consistent action.

Throughout all those years, we were also engaged in redeeming lands for the purposes of resettlement. We purchased land from local Arabs – just like our forefather Abraham and other ancestors did for generations. 

The majority of land in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley are State lands. In 1993, after the Oslo Accords, these areas were divided into three sections:

A – Under the full control of the so-called “Palestinian” enemy.

B – Under Israel’s military control and the enemy’s civil control.

C – Approximately 60% of the area, under Israel’s full control. All the Jewish communities are in this area.

As always, Israel has abided by all its commitments. It relinquished A areas and gave the enemy civil autonomy in B areas.

And as always, the so-called “Palestinians” did not abide by their commitments. They continued to pursue terror all over the Land of Israel. Furthermore, since this three-way division, they are constantly and systematically eating away at much of the C areas.

Unfortunately, successive Israeli governments have not done enough to prevent this invasive robbery and so we – Israeli citizens passionate about protecting our own Land – have to act!

Admata is an NGO set up for this purpose and dealing with two main issues:

• Protecting C areas

• Land Redemption

We establish agricultural farms that protect C areas (see film clips on this site). The farmer, with a flock of sheep or a herd of cattle, guards vast expanses of land, thus preventing enemy intrusion. We are planning on establishing many more such farms. 

Land redemption finally releases lands into Jewish hands. We identify potential land and purchase them quietly and intelligently, either for agricultural or population purposes.

Of course, this is very hard and challenging work, but our successes give us the strength to continue and do what God expects from us – to return the Land He promised us to its rightful owners.
