Together We'll Stop the Foolish idea to turn Modiin into an Airport!

This coming Wednesday, August 12th, Mayor Haim Bibas is scheduled to meet Giora Rom, the CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority. Rom is expected to update Mayor Bibas on the status of the evaluation of the alternative landing paths for runway 30.

We ask the Modiin-Maccabim-Reut public to bombard the decision makers with emails in order to remind the decision makers in the Government offices in Jerusalem and in the Aviation Authorities that behind Mayor Bibas stands a large and resolute public of Modiiin-Maccabim-Reut who will not allow to turn Modiin into an Airport!

Method: Overflowing the decision makers via emails & faxes today Monday August 10th and tomorrow Tuesday August 11th.

Each of us will forward on this message to fellow residents and call them to do the same.

Dear Sirs,

I vehemently oppose the intention of the aviation authorities to convert Modiin-Maccabim-Reut into part of Ben Gurion Airport and to bring planes down, in their landing path, at a height of 300 meters above our heads, every 10 minutes in the afternoon hours.

With this plan you will impose on us and our children unacceptable and untenable hardships of noise and air pollution.  But most of all a life threatening danger, every 10 minutes in the event of human or mechanical failure that might cause a crash into one of our tall buildings, which are built on hills, and cause an unfathomable  human catastrophe.

We chose to live in Modiin as a quiet and green city and a good place to raise our children.  In order to achieve this we took on upon ourselves longer commutes to our places of employment.  If we were interested in living in one of the existing residential communities surrounding Ben Gurion airport , we would have chosen to do so.

It is unacceptable that the residents of Modiin-Macabim-Reut should be expected to pay the price due to the failure and omissions of the aviation planning authorities  for the past years upon years to address flight safety issues. This is an outright arbitrary maltreatment  by the authorities, of the citizens.

The city of Modiin is a national project of the Government of Israel, and it will be the height of stupidity on behalf of the Government of Israel to invest a huge fortune in developing this city and attracting to it 73,000 residents from all over the country as well as from abroad, only to strike it a severe blow, by offhandedly turning it into an Airport.

We demand implementing one of the alternative landing paths that pass over the uninhabited areas of the city or its surroundings, rather than directly over the populated area as proposed by the IAA.

Two weeks ago we set out in our masses via a long car convoy and demonstrated with our children in front of the IAA offices in Ben Gurion Airport. We conducted ourselves in exemplary orderly fashion. We did not throw stones nor dirty diapers, we did not burn trash cans nor did we insult the dedicated police officers who keep the law and order. We are law abiding citizens who contribute to the economy, pay out taxes, serve in the IDF in regular and reserve capacity, and the recruitment rates of our children are amongst the highest in the country.

We are law abiding citizens, but we are also very determined to preserve the green and serene nature of our lovely city, which we resurrected by our sweat in the middle of nowhere.  If necessary we will come in our masses to demonstrate in front of the government offices in Jerusalem or in the Supreme Court of Justice .

Justice, justice shall ye seek - and we shall do so decisively and forcefully until wisdom returns to dwell in Jerusalem.

Sincerely,

Name
Address
