"Never
Again", again!
by Steven
Shamrak.
After the Shaoah - Holocaust
the words "Never Again" had a special and powerful meaning for the
Jewish people. The Holocaust survivors who had just arrived in Palestine went
to battle against well-armed Arabs with wooden sticks, due to the lack of
weapons. Jews all over the word vowed not to allow the systematic killing of
the Jews again.
Almost sixty years passed. The
words have become just another empty and meaningless slogan the politicians and
apathetic community leaders are using during feel-good ceremonies. The
unimaginable has happened! The Israeli government assumed the role of the
concentration camp Capo and is collaborating with its enemies. Instead of
pursuing the Jewish National goal, the return of all Jewish land - Eretz
Israel, the government is preparing to give up more Jewish land to the enemies
who are killing and ready to kill even more Jews.
As the first step Jews were
deported from Gaza. Thousands of Jews were uprooted. Again! All communities
were destroyed, again! Viable and successful businesses were ruined, again!
Synagogues were destroyed, again. Jews were stripped of their dignity, again
but this time by their own government. What a shameful crime!
Months have passed and people are
still living in temporary accommodations in a state of desolation,
disillusionment, isolation and shock! At the same time, the government has done
its ugly best to astrocyte and discredit decent people - modern heroes of the
Jewish nation.
The deportation of Jews from Gaza was conducted under
the pretence that it would reduce the cost of the fight against Arab terror and
save Jewish lives. During the last few months Katusha rockets began landing on
Israeli soil. The Kassam rockets have become a routine daily occurrence. Both
Fatah and Hamas have intensified their attacks, in order to win the 'heart' of
Arab supporters. Embolden by Israel's 'weakness' Hisbollah renewed its attacks
on the North of Israel. Where is the cost saving? Where is self-dignity? There
is none whatsoever!
All of this is completely
disregarded by the Olmerts government. New stupidity is emerging. It is called
"Convergent" or, the latest name, "Realignment" plan. This
is another plan leading to Jewish self-destruction. Only this time, up to 90
thousand Jews will be deported from the Jewish heartland - Judea and
Samaria. And, almost 90% of the Israel's population will be in the cross-fire
between Gaza and West Bank, reachable by the rockets. This is the new Holocaust
in the making!
The question must be asked: When
is "Enough is Enough"? When will Jews realise that we are being
systematically robbed of our rightful inheritance - Eretz Israel -
the Land of Israel? When will we say "Never Again!" and mean it! When
will we become the proud owners of our land and our destiny?
