Last week we commemorated the slaughter of six million Jews on the blood soaked lands of Europe, whose bodies went up in smoke through the chimneys of concentration camps.
This week the skies over Europe are paralyzed by a cloud of smoke descending from above, over their lands. Coincidence?
Last week the British Advertisng Authority declared that Israel wasn’t allowed to have photos of the Kotel, the Western Wall of the ancient Temple, its holiest site for over 3000 years, in its tourism advertisements, as it is hasn’t been decided that it’s really part of Israel. It is in ‘disputed territory’.
This week that hovering cloud of ash and smoke ensured that no British tourists left the U.K. Coincidence?
The Kotel – The Western Wall of the Temple
Today is Israel’s 62nd Independence Day.
62 years of sovereignty and still fighting for the right to exist.
62 years of providing a home for any Jew from anywhere in the world persecuted and driven from their homes and wanted by no other country on the planet.
62 years of wars which never really end but just evolve into cold wars and unsure peace.
62 years of miracle after miracle that has kept this tiny country alive surrounded by millions of its enemies, winning unwinnable wars with the odds drastically against them, flourishing economically through global recession and thriving agriculturally despite being mostly desert and lacking in rain.
‘Coincidence’ or ‘chance’ don’t even come to mind when explaining our past.
Divine intervention comes closer .

There's rarely such a thing as a true random coincidence. Here's to the next 62 years. Let's hope they prove to be more peaceful.
