This is Shlomo Wollins reported live (barely) from Neve Dekalim on Aug. 16, 12:40 Israel Time:
This is the day of destruction. After nearly 60 hours without sleep (including the Tisha B'av 25-hour total fast) and in severe heat stress, I awoke to an strategic infiltration of Neve Dekalim. There will be no way to communicate all the events of the last 36 hours at this time. In the last several hours, thousands of riot police broke down the main gate/entrance to Neve Dekalim with force and bulldozers, scattering and beating mostly children and young adults.
I have returned to my cottage here to download all the movies and pictures that had filled two 1GB memory cards, and I am now returning to the scene in Neve Dekalim by the main entrance. As I write, thousands of police are pushing forward into Neve Dekalim and beating children (sometimes even non-resistors) to enter Neve Dekalim for two reasons: (1) to deliver explusion notices to every house in the city (which was physically resisted by our rallies of last nite and yesterday morning); and (2) to allow the free passage of truck containers to residents who have decided to leave.
Yesterday day and night, we had completely shut down the front gate and had several, multi-hour rallies to prevent the entrance of the riot police with explusion orders. A reporter has just called that the scene up front is "not something I should get involved with". Let me translate: they are beating and arresting people. He has told me time and again that I should focus on communicating what is going on, and not risk arrest or worse.
I have followed his advice at most times, and the generous emails I have received from readers have served to confirm his advice. However, it is very difficult when you see a Jewish child being literally beaten with clubs and fists (by these horrible yasam police in all black with black leather gloves in 90 degree heat!), and to simply film. I have crossed the line numerous times in the last few days, and only by divine providence am I able to continue this mission of informing the world of this nightmare.
Last night and the night before, we blocked the main and single highway here, puncturing the tires of army vehicle and throwing paint balloons onto windshields of army vehicles that were stopped by the crowds. My hard drive is packed with pictures and movies that will be difficult under the current constaints to upload from here. I will do my best and know that many are praying for my success.
Please, all Jewish souls and lovers of Israel, the Jewish child is being beaten severely here by Jewish police for not giving over their homes and everything they have known and love to arab terrorist killers. They are making announcement over loudspeaker..I must go back..more to come..I can be reached at 054-7388-054 (011-972-54-7388-054).

Keep the faith, brother! We are with you in spirit. You are fighting the good fight.
You may not win today's battle, but the war will continue. Appeasement not only doesn't work, but it will flame the fires of terrorism. The weak will want to concede more territory tommorow and will tell you that this is the road to peace. But it is the road to self-destruction. They can call you lawbreakers, militants, settlers and whatever other derrogatory terms they may cast upon you. They may compliment themselves and tell you how they are patriots and only sacrificing you for the good of all, for the good of the country. In fact, they are willing accomplices of Fatah and Hamas, the enemies of Israel, Jews and all civilized society; it is you and your comrades who are, in fact, the patriots and, if you would, the heros. Fight them and fight hard, but remember that the war is just beginning and that there will most certainly be other battles -- hopefully only political. So, keep the faith and may HaShem be with you.
