(IsraelNN.com) Gush Katif refugees, many of whom are still dwelling in hotels awaiting permanent housing, lit a unique menorah tonight, one made of mortar shells fired by Arab terrorists into the heart of N’vei Dekalim, the largest community of Gush Katif.
That special menorah commemorates the miracle of Jewish survival throughout the ages, and reminds us of the symbolic role Gush Katif has played in the saga of Jewish history: a community standing victorious despite constant attempts by Arab terrorists to wipe it out.
5000 mortars rained down on Gush Katif, from the onset of the Oslo War in September 2000, to August 2005. Miraculously, they succeeded in causing only minor damage and minimal casualties. Not only did they fail to harm the community physically, they failed to impact the Jewish spirit burning in the hearts of its residents. They call the menorah of mortars the “al hanissim,” menorah of miracles.
BTTT
This is all just heart wrenching to me. Everything that is and has been, going on over there. These poor people haven't known lives free of attack and bombs, ever!
They sure have have a lot of heart, and backbone. Gotta give them that. Prayers to the country of Israel
Christians will need to show such heart in the coming years.
Miraculously ?!?! Baloney! The kumquats who fired them couldn't hit the side of a barn...even if they were inside.
December 27, 2005. The Palestinian Authority has filed a complaint in the United Nations against "The Zionist Entity" for the desecration of some of Islam's holy relics when they were made into a menorah.
I visited Gush Katif in April 2005 and wanted to take back one of the inactive mortar shells (hollowed out) with me. The residents advised me that it could cause me tremendous problems with the airline and probably blacklist from air travel forever, so I just could take the memory with me, not even pictures since it was Shabbat.
This menorah is a great way of highlighting and reminding the world of the pali perfidy.
