Jews Are Forced To Wander The Earth Again
This time it is approximately 9,000 Jews from New Orleans who were
displaced after the 'Great Flood'. It seems a small group of these
traveled to Israel where they meet the Gaza Diaspora, and sought comfort
in their dual tragedy.

Debbie Rosen Is A 'Gaza Survivor'
"If anyone understands what we’ve been through, it’s you," said
Debbie Rosen, a Neveh Dekalim evacuee resettled in Nitzan. The
depression, reluctance to go out into the world and find work, and
post-traumatic stress disorder are troubles that New Orleans and
Gush Katif residents feel can finally be understood by people other
than their own.

Chanie Nemes Organized The Gaza Trip
Both groups relived the psychological trauma of their disporias.
Both lived in trailers, shattered communities, unemployment and loss
of parental authority, and the New Orleans residents voiced
agreement.

Escape In A Truck
The Nemes family sat out the storm in their second-floor
apartment. Two days after the storm hit, the 13 people taking refuge
in their home managed to escape in a small refrigerated truck
normally used to transport kosher food. The family stayed with
relatives in New York for four months.

One of Chabad’s congregants was forced to sit on the roof of his
house for more than 24 hours after four meters of water flooded his
home. Others celebrate their survival in a makeshift shelter.

Gaza And New Orleans Teens Prone To Suicide
Jews felt they had lost control over their lives, the New Orleans
visitors explained that the hurricane had destroyed only part of the
levees, but part of their lives. In addition, they voiced concern
over an increased rate of teen suicides and mismanagement by the
government of funds allocated for rehabilitation.

threatened to jump off a one story building.

Gaza And New Orleans Jews Were Betrayed
Rosen said disengagement had been caused by the government,
unlike the hurricane which was a natural disaster. Immediately,
however, the visitors from New Orleans interrupted to say that in
their case as well the government had a responsibility towards them.

Much Like The Savior At The Virginia Tech
Massacre
That was when a the madman 'Cho' shot two students at 8:00 and the
college President Irv Steeger decided not to shut the college down.
Cho's only opposition came from Prof Abe
Librescu, a holocaust survivor that
fought Cho and gave his students time to escape. The 75 yr old Librescu
was shot
five times.
