OMG – IT’S HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN!

Is “Never Again” simply an elusive item on a Jewish wish list?
 By David E. Kaplan

British Betrayal. Think of It! Not often will a UK Chief Rabbi sternly criticize his government but that is exactly what Rabbi Efraim Mervis did, slamming it for denying Israel weapons while fighting a war of survival on seven fronts.

THE NEW ISRAELI

Israelis have been irrevocably changed by the events of 7 October
By Rolene Marks

Deathly Debates. While debates ensue over what the “day after” will look like for Gazans, Israelis and Jews across the world are questioning the nature of their “day after” in the wake of the October 7 massacre and rampant global antisemitism.

FULFILLING THE PROMISE OF “NEVER AGAIN”

It is one thing to know that the people on your border want to wipe you off the face of the earth, it’s another to allow them to have hope that one day they will succeed.
by Forest Rain Marcia

Walking back the Past. “They came as a tidal wave of death….bringing the Holocaust into the present.”
Reminiscent of the Shoah that was naively believed could “Never Again” happen, a pile of shoes,
whose owners from Kibbutz Kfar Aza will never step into again.
