Jews all over the world 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. 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! - Note: the comment about "Mohamed ElBaradei, the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency's virulently anti-Israel chairman" in the excerpts following this article. This man is now rising to the fore in Egypt's 2011 civil war.
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 world 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, that 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 ground for giving 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 the state of desolation, disillusionment, isolation and shock! At the same time, the government has done it's ugly best to estrange, alienate 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 Israel 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 it's 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 Olmert 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 questions 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?
About author: Steven Shamrak, born in the Soviet Union, lives in Melbourne Australia. He is a qualified civil engineer and software specialist, and was an active participant in the nascent Moscow Zionist movement before he arrived in Australia 25 years ago. Believing that "a sense of pride, nationhood and connection to all Jewish land" is missing from Jewish hearts, he spends his spare time Educating Jews and non-Jews about Jewish history in the Middle East.
He worked as a construction engineer at the Moscow Olympic Games project and as a computer consultant in Australia. For several years, he has been publishing an Internet editorial letter about the Arab-Israel conflict since August 2001 and has a website http://www.shamrak.com.
"It is the total annihilation of Israel and the Jews. This is what the center of the educational system in the whole Arab world is. We were taught Jerusalem is a Muslim city; Jews had nothing to do with it, and we have to liberate it... This is now coming to the West, this fear that I used to live in the Muslim world - with the fear of speaking my mind, fear of saying the truth - is now following me to America... My culture of origin is now infecting America with fear of speaking the truth." - Nonie Darwish
In southern Israel, he noted, there are 12 and 13-year-old children who have grown up with rocket fire as part of their daily reality. "It's not normal that children live this way in the state of Israel," Fogel said. On Sunday, 28 Oct, Hamas fired Grad missiles as target finders against Israel's nuclear reactor in Dimona. I'm angry that in 2012, over 600 rockets have already been fired from Gaza with no end in sight. I'm angry that the world only notices when Israel undertakes its (sovereign) right to defend its citizens. Can you imagine if even one rocket was fired on Washington, London, Paris or Moscow? No nation on earth can, or should, tolerate such attacks on its people. The Israeli government, according to former IDF Brigadier-General Tzvika Fogel, will not take real action against Gaza terrorists' rocket attacks until Jewish blood is shed.
This means that the United Kingdom had illegally ceded the Trans-Jordan to the refugees from the Saudi Arabian Peninsula. And the United Nation's partition plan of the remaining parts of Palestine in 1947 was also illegal. In addition, in spite of the fact that the partition plan was devised to sabotage the creation of the Jewish homeland (the creation of two states on six ugly triangles - a completely unworkable political map). The Arabs rejected it! Therefore, they lost any legal standing on the land. They knew it and that is one reason why seven Muslim states declared the war on Israel in 1948!
On September 28th the world was supposed to celebrate, but conveniently forgot the anniversary of the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement, widely known as the Oslo Accords. Three political stooges Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Perez received the Nobel Peace prize for signing this worthless piece of paper, which was based on fake promises made by Yasser Arafat in a letter to the Prime Minister of Israel, Rabin on 9 September, 1993. In this letter Yasser Arafat promised: "The PLO considers that the signing of the Declaration of Principles constitutes an historic event, inaugurating a new epoch of peaceful coexistence, free from violence and all other acts which endanger peace and stability.

About the KingsCalendar Publisher
R.P.BenDedek is the owner and Editor of KingsCalendar.com which was originally set up to publicize his research results into the Chronology of Ancient Israel. Those results were published under the title: 'The King's Calendar: The Secret of Qumran'.
Whilst there have been many attempts to solve the chronological riddle of the Bible's synchronisms of reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah and their synchronism with other Ancient Near Eastern Nations, no other research is based on a simple mathematical formula which could, if it is incorrect, be disproved easily. To date, no one has been able to dismiss the mathematical results of this research.
Free to air Academic articles set forth Apologetics for and results of his discovery of an "artificial chronological scheme" running through the Bible, Josephus, the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Seder Olam Rabbah.
During the current economic downturn, this book has been drastically reduced in price but will eventually rise as the economy improves.
