Women for Israel's Tomorrow (Hebrew: נשים למען עתיד ישראל) more commonly known as Women in Green (Hebrew: נשים בירוק) is an Israel non profit organization established in 1993 by Ruth and Michael Matar in response to the Oslo Accords. The organization was headed by Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katsover. Not everyone knew that Ruth, an artist, was also a child Holocaust survivor, who at age eight had witnessed Nazi stormtroopers come to her home, knock down the door and beat her mother, who had turned back to get warm jackets for the children. 
From 1993 until 2005 the movement was led by Ruth Matar and her daughter-in-law Nadia Matar. It was on September 13, 1993, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and
Their solution to their own and to the world's peace was to have Arabs removed and relocated to other parts who didn't want to live peacefully, and give them the money to do so. Those who remained could become full citizens.
They were against the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif.
"In 2004 Nadia Matar compared the government's intention to remove Jews from Gaza to the involvement of the Judenrat ("Jewish Council") in Berlin in 1942, which, under orders from the German government expelled the Jewish community from that city."
Nadia Matar, chairman of the right-wing movement "Women in Green" who is standing trial for calling the outgoing Disengagement Authority Chairman Yonatan Bassi "a Judenrat" refuses to apologize.
"We can't be intimidated, we can't be silenced. I don't take back any word I wrote to Yonatan Bassi, on the contrary – only now we're witnessing how much grief this man, along with other expulsion criminals, has caused the Israeli people, especially to our expelled brethren," Matar said.
Matar, whose trial opened on Wednesday, is charged with insulting a public servant.
"With everything that is happening to Sderot and to all Israelis, the word 'Judenrat' is even too mild," Matar stated upon entering the Magistrate Court in Jerusalem. "No one has come up with the right word to describe the monstrosity of Jews who inflict so much damage on other Jews. Words like kapo, traitor, or collaborator are also too mild."
It's been 102 years since the San Remo Conference. The San Remo conference was an international meeting of the post-World War I Allied Supreme Council as an outgrowth of the Paris Peace Conference, held at Villa Devachan in Sanremo, Italy, from 19 to 26 April 1920l. This is where it was decided, among other things, to put under rule. At San Remo, the Allies confirmed the pledge contained in the concerning the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine. As shown by the , the original mandate was for all of Palestine;
However, in 1921, severed roughly 78 percent of Palestine to establish the Emirate of where Britain’s ally, (Abdullah I bin Al-Hussein (Arabic: عبد الله الأول بن الحسين, Abd Allāh al-Awwal bin al-Husayn), was installed as king. Julie Murray explained, “The division between the British and French territories was clarified in the Franco-British Convention on Certain Points Connected with the Mandates for Syria and the Lebanon, Palestine and Mesopotamia, signed in December of 1920, in which there is no mention of Transjordan, as it is presumed to be part of the British mandate of Palestine.”
Hot off the press is the new book by Prof. Abraham Sion, To Whom
Was the Promised Land Promised? In this book, he drilled down into the constitutional nucleus from which the State of Israel emerged in international law. after a close study of hundreds of documents, certificates, minutes and articles, he presents the reader with an unequivocal statement whereby there can be no doubt as to whether the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people according to international law. He points out that the whole world has ignored certain facts he's noticed. Interesting that it also points out that the recent Arabs who won the British friendship were rewarded-had nothing to do with an ancient population. This was actually against the British mandate. It does make you wonder.

With Professor Eugene Kontorovich, highly reputed international lawyer who defends Israel, we should have some convincing arguments that the world has had the wrong information and that Israel has every right to populate Judea and Samaria. He was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, a place we've become very familiar with in recent news of Ukraine.
Professor of Law Eugene Kontorovich is one of the world’s preeminent experts on universal jurisdiction and maritime piracy, as well as international law and the Israel-Arab conflict. He is also the Director of Scalia Law School's Center for the Middle East and International Law. Professor Kontorovich joined the Scalia Law School from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law where he was a Professor of Law from 2011 to 2018 and an Associate Professor from 2007 to 2011. Previously, he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago from 2005 to 2007 and an Assistant Professor at George Mason School of Law from 2003 to 2007.
He immigrated to Israel in 2013 with his wife and four children, and lived in the Alon Shvut settlement. Alon Shvut (Hebrew: אַלּוֹן שְׁבוּת) is an Israeli village referred to as a settlement, located southwest of Jerusalem, one kilometer northeast of Kfar Etzion, in Judea-Samaria, referred to as the West Bank. Established in June 1970 in the heart of the Etzion bloc, Alon Shvut became the prototype for Jewish communities in the region. It is administered by the Gush Etzion Regional Council, and neighbors the communities of Kfar Etzion, Rosh Tzurim, Neve Daniel, Elazar, Bat Ayin, Midgal Oz, and Efrat. In 2019, its population was 3,098. He's a lawyer who put his foot where his mouth was. He's my favorite defender of Israel.

The ladies in Green blamed Yonatan Bassi of Israel's government who was in charge of leaving Gush Katif and northern Samaria. Bassi had assume the role of Evacuation authority director which was a demographic problem. Yonatan Bassi, head of the government administration in charge of Israel's planned withdrawal, listens during a news conference outlining the government's plans in Jerusalem, . Bassi said Sunday a total of 20 families from the southern Gaza Strip Jewish settlement of Peat Sadeh have finalized agreements with the government to move and the community will be the first dismantled under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan.
He had been told by others that there need not be a territorial continuity of Jewish settlements in order to maintain democracy. For example: "the United Kingdom is spread over the mainland, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, and many other places, including British Honduras and various islands in the ocean - all of which do not share territorial continuity. They all vote for the same parliament in London. It is all arbitrary; it is as good logic to join Northern Ireland to the Irish republic as to the UK. In the event, it is the non-territorial continuity alternative that history selected - i.e., Northern Ireland is joined across the water to the UK, as a result of its history. Similarly, Gush Katif is not within Gaza, it is next to it; like the relationship of many other Jewish areas to many other Arab areas. According to your principle of separating the populations, you will soon have no Israel at all - since there are Arabs everywhere."
.
We all know what happened when Israel left all of Gaza for the Palestinians. They turned it into a staging platform to shoot rockets into Israel. They have kept this up to the present day. Israel learned a huge lesson by doing this. Being nice and civilized only made Israel weak in the Palestinian eye, sadly.
More religious Zionist women are leading the way. The Moskowitz Prize for Zionism was awarded for the 12th time in a moving ceremony in Jerusalem last Tuesday. The prize, also known as the 'Lion of Zion' Prize, is awarded annually to three people as recognition for their life's work and for their contribution to the State of Israel and the Jewish People. Since 2013, the ceremony has also included the awarding of a further prize – the 'Spirit of Zion' Prize – to two young Israelis with a promising social initiative.
In 2005, Yehudit Katsover from Kiryat Arba-Hebron, a veteran activist for the Land of Israel, principal of the Teachers’ College in Kiryat Arba-Hevron, a branch of Efrata College, joined the group. Since then she has been leading Women in Green together with Nadia Matar.
The group added an element of practical activism, believing that this addition was necessary to strengthen the hold on all of the territories of the Land of Israel. Katsover and Matar focused the activities on parts of Area C (West Bank), where, according to their claim, the Palestinian Authority is attempting, with foreign funding, to seize lands belonging to the State of Israel.
The movement and its activists fought for the opening of the Walaja bypass road to allow access from the west to Gush Etzion, they restored the Jewish presence to the Shdema military camp between Har Homa and Tekoa and to Adurayim, which is south of Mount Hebron; they planted trees on state land in Netzer, which is between Alon Shvut and Elazar in order to prevent Arab take-over of these lands, and they organized activities to strengthen the Jewish presence on the Eitam Hill (Givat Eitam, in Hebrew), which is located in Efrat.
The group integrates its vigils and activities with cultural and educational activities such as concerts, exhibitions, lectures, lessons and more.
