Destruction of 22 Synagogues and Excavation of Jewish Cemeteries

No, we are not talking about Berlin, Paris or even Moscow. We are talking about the program of ethnic cleansing and desecration conducted against a group of Jewish  people by their own government.

This summer, when Israel plans to evacuate thousands of settlers from Gaza as part of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan, Zweig will endure a second trauma along with dozens of other families. Authorities are planning to dig up the remains of their loved ones -- 46 bodies in all -- buried in this hilltop graveyard
and reinter them in cemeteries inside Israel.

Even the Globe's correspondent Dan Ephron shows some emotion while continuing to spin it. He calls the crime which is about to happen a situation full of "complexities":

The body transfer -- just one of the many minute details of evacuation -- is a grisly reminder of the complexities involved in uprooting 8,000 Israelis from homes and neighborhoods that some have inhabited for 25 years.

For one thing, Jewish law demands strict respect for the dead, prohibiting the exhumation of bodies in all but the most extraordinary circumstances.

But why are authorities doing this?

Authorities overseeing the disengagement decided early on that leaving graves in Gaza, which is home to about 1.2 million Palestinians, would expose them to desecration. [link]

By twisted logic, they decided to desecrate the graves, themselves, not waiting for the enemies. Is this justice? Is this peace? Or is this a peace process? Those who have eyes, shall see for themselves. We should act now to prevent this crime. The time will come when our children will ask us: "How did you allow this to happen?"

Unfortunately, these organizations (e.g. CJP and ADL) tend support this plan, just like they supported bringing on the tragedy of Oslo. This is sad, but I am not sure we can rely on our organizations.

Where are our Jewish organizations? Where is the ADL? What about Boston's Jewish Philanthropies collecting money every year for children in Dorchester? Where is the American Jewish Commity,fighting for Rwanda and fighting Chabad-Lubavitch not to put Menoras up on Channuka???!!!
