Abravanel wrote his letter entirely in Hebrew as part of a correspondence with a rabbi in Italy, and he tells him that this issue has been on his mind constantly day and night as they work to free all the Moroccan Jews and bring them to safety in Portugal.

She gave him her hand. Wenk, to whom the name suddenly clarified the circumstances of the escape on that night when Count Told had entered, kissed her slender fingers, surrendering himself all at once to her beauty without restraint, and toying once more with the fleeting thought: Why hunt people and not love this woman?

Freud? Who is he? Is he a passenger?

I can fix this. But how? I'll say you were lying. You'll do no such thing.

here:

H1 Zone: Covers roughly 80% of the city, fully controlled by the Palestinian Authority, where Israeli civilians and residency are prohibited.

H2 Zone: Covers about 20% of the city under Israeli military control, housing roughly 800 to 850 Jewish occupants.

Specific Enclaves: Jewish residential compounds in H2 include Avraham Avinu, Beit Romano, Beit Hadassah, and Tel Rumeida.

Kiryat Arba: A separate, larger adjoining Israeli area located on the eastern outskirts of Hebron proper, housing around 8,000 residents.

80 to 20 is a big difference.

we USED to have a larger presence before the 1929 hebron massacre and continuous arab riots and massacres of jews. 1929 evacuation due to arab riots, 1931 return, 1936 evacuation due to arab riots, then in 1947 the last jewish family had to leave because our ancient city was outside our borders at that time. this changed in 1967. the original agreement did not take into account much of jewish historic land.

also you’re wrong about machpela restrictions. for 700 years from the mamluks to 1967 we were barred from machpela. right now we are restricted to certain places like ohel yaakov and ohel avraham. we are banned from ohel yitzhak for all but ten days of the year.

we have the ten and ten rule with muslims but still. being banned from an important site every day of rhe year but 10 days is ridiculous. the restrictions were worse as of a decade ago because of the waqf.
