Arutz Sheva reports that The British Government has deceided to no longer allow Israeli citizens living in Judea & Samaria (YoSh) to attend official British functions:

MP Blunt, a pro-Arab legislator who works closely with Arab lobbies, wrote the Foreign Office that inviting people from Judea and Samaria indicates a "weakening in the government’s long-held position that settlements were illegal and an obstacle to peace. Entertaining the pioneers of this colonization movement has given the strong impression that Britain tacitly endorses it or no longer objects to it."

Britian's fall to Islam continues apace.

We visited{the City of David in March on a day trip to Jerusalem during the work trip to continue work on a nature park in Kedumim near Shechem. If you are in Jerusalem, I absolutely recommend taking the tour of the City of David (it is south of the Kotel, outside of the city walls; they also have a great an incredible website.

Arutz Sheva reports that another archeological find was recently uncovered there:

Archaeologists have unearthed proof of another Biblical story at Jerusalem's ancient City of David, this time corroborating the Book of Jeremiah.

A completely intact seal impression, or "bula", bearing the name Gedaliahu ben Pashur was uncovered. The bula is actually a stamped engraving made of mortar.

Update:

Now the police have admitted to working with Arabs to stop the march:

Police detective Aharon Yair, when questioned by defense attorney Naftali Wurtzburger, admitted to a Jerusalem magistrate court that special police forces dressed in civilian clothing and police hats, waited with local PA Bedouins in ambush for the hikers to arrive in the area as part of a four day journey. Wurtzburger called the police action a provocation.

Update: Israel National News printed a report on this as well. Here is the quote from Mrs. Weiss:

"Everything was going very well, until we arrived in Maoz Esther. A bunch of Arabs swooped down upon us with rocks and clubs, and three of our people were injured; they have just been evacuated by ambulance. At one point, one of our escorts tried to protect one of our boys, and he shot in the air. Right then, something amazing happened:

"From behind a little hill suddenly emerged some cars and policemen wearing civilian clothes, but with police hats - and they arrested the one who shot in the air, as well as some of our other escorts who were carrying weapons!

"Apparently, the police were waiting and watching the whole time, doing nothing until our boy shot in the air. They want to leave us without weapons, and thus cause us to call off our entire trek, because they see - and want to discourage - the wonderful and pioneering spirit that we bring."

"But we will of course not stop, though we are now trying to figure out the best course of action. I can tell you that there will be some sharp measures and protests against the security forces."

Israel National Radio's 7/29 6:00 PM podcast reported that a walking tour of Judea & Samaria led by Daniella Weiss, former mayor of Kedummim in Samaria was attacked by Arabs. Approximately 200 people are participating in the tour of the hilltops of YoSh (Judea & Samaria) that begin in Sa-Nur (one of the Northern Samaria communities destroyed by the expulsions of 2005).

The tour was in its third day of a "beautiful march through the hilltops of the land of Judea and Samaria". At Maoz Esther, a bunch of Arabs swooped down on them with rocks and clubs.

The report goes on to share Mrs. Weiss's testimony that when the Jews began to defend themselves from the attack that, almost instantly, a group of plain clothes Israeli police showed up and arrested the Jews involved. Apparently, the police watched as the Arabs attacked and only intervened to stop the Jews from defending themselves.

Debka reports that Hezb'allah has taken another strategic mountain top in Lebanon -- closer to Israel:

As Iranian and Syrian radar and anti-air weapons officers settled on the strategic peak, our military sources report the Lebanese terrorist group proceeded to grab positions on the Western ridge of Jebel Barukh, east of Jezzine, a move which brings it closer to the Israel border.

Obama: Judea and Samaria should be Judenrein

Also on the three O'clock Israel National Radio newscast, Barack Obama will be meeting with arch terrorist and leader of the Fatah, Abu Mazen (Abbas), and will reportedly tell him that

"supporting Israel doesn't mean that Israel can keep a presense in Judea and Samaria".

I guess since the expulsion from Gaza and Northern Samaria has been such a success and brought that ever elusive peace, Obama will push for more of the same. Of course, there is NO difference between the Dems and the Repubs on this issue. President Bush has been pushing to divide up the Land of Israel at least since 9/11.
