Gush Katif~Secure Them in Your Heart...

On Wednesday, 22 February 2012, in Brooklyn New York a fundraiser was held for the nearly ten thousand people evicted from Gush Katif. 

The families lost their homes, jobs, schools, synagogues, community~even the dead were dug up and moved.

Now, Hamas uses former synagogues as terror training camps, and fields that once grew crops are used to fire rockets into Israel. Giving up land for peace Never works! It only makes the enemy bolder as time has proven.

There were many speakers at the dinner, but here, from Arutz 7 is part of Glenn Beck's speech.

Cry No More Jerusalem~A Beautiful Song of Hope!

The Jewish singer, Yaakov Shwekey is well known in Israel, North America and indeed around the world. 

This is his latest song and it is guaranteed to touch the heart of everyone who believes that the world is in the hands of the Lord. 

The symbolism begins with the tragedy of the many terror attacks Israel has been through~while the orange wrist band (around 1:20) symbolizes the 10,000 Jews who lost their homes and livelihood when they were pulled out of Gush Katif (now occupied by terror group Hamas). I am sure that most of us identify with the suffering of broken families and the joy at the return of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit. Finally, with the threat of nuclear attack by Iran, the tiny pieces of paper from the Kotel (Wailing Wall), representing people who travel from around the world~to place their prayers into the cracks of the wall~rise up to the heavens...

I will leave it for you to interpret the final notes~but do make sure you have tissues on hand.
