Haiti Get Your Preparations- thoughts

If for no other reason than to bring justice into the world.


Its pretty obvious that what France did to Haiti was nothing short of extortion. Bullying. They know they did wrong and there is no defense for their actions. 

Thank Gd there are groups sprouting here and there demanding reparation for Haiti.

From the website of Ligali:

Following the earthquake which hit the already devastated island in the Caribbean in January, a UK-based organization is demanding reparations and an end to the current US occupation of Haiti.

The Haiti First! Haiti Now! Reparations Campaign, which was set up last summer, will hold its first demonstration outside the U.S Embassy on Wednesday 24 March, Grosvenor Square, London W1A 1AE, at 2pm. A coalition of organizations is expected come out in support of the campaign, which is demanding that both France and the U.S pay reparations to Haiti for: • 150 million gold francs that France extorted from Haiti after 1825 as compensation for the successful revolution which led to Haitian independence in 1804; • The illegal occupation of Haiti by the U.S in 1915 and its current occupation and exploitation of the Haitian people. A delegation from France will attend the mass demonstration and messages of solidarity are being sent from Belgium, Spain, Holland, Canada, America, Brazil, Mozambique, Jamaica, Grenada and Haiti. In Madrid and New York, conferences are being held in solidarity with the London demonstration. A spokesperson for the Haiti First! Haiti Now! Reparations campaign, Cecil Gutzmore said: “Haiti is often quoted as being the ‘poorest country in the Americas’ but this is because since it overthrew slavery and won independence in 1804, it has been deliberately and systematically pauperized by the United States and France. Haiti deserves justice and just reparations for centuries of oppression, brutalization and occupation. This demonstration is the start and marks our determination to see that justice is done”. The organization demands that the USA and France follow the example of Italy that has agreed reparations for its brutal occupation of Libya in the 20th century.  ~~~~~~~~~~ Honestly I feel like those groups of people like who have been overly proslyletized:  I am very weary of groups that are not actually Haitians fighting for Haiti reparation.  It must come from Haitian and no one else. Not to fear, my fellow Haitians, we have confronted Edom before and was granted success from Above.  It happened before and it can happen again.

Haiti’s Jewish Remnant Keeps the Faith and Lends a Hand Amid the Crisis – Forward.com

Each year on Yom Kippur, Rudolph Dana locks himself in his Pétionville, Haiti, home — protected by guard dogs and security personnel — and passes the Day of Atonement fasting, praying and reciting the traditional liturgy of repentance and forgiveness.
Up until about 10 years ago, Haiti’s tiny Jewish community would gather in a home on Yom Kippur and pray alongside a video recording of a Yom Kippur service that Dana’s brother-in-law, a cantor at a New Jersey synagogue, had mailed to him. But in recent years, the community has become too small and disjointed to warrant even such modest holiday gatherings.
When the catastrophic, 7.0-magnitude earthquake shook Haiti on January 12, Dana happened to be in Miami on business. In the days since the quake — which leveled much of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince and the surrounding areas, including Pétionville — Dana, 61, who owns a propane-distribution company, has been on the phone and Internet around the clock, trying to make contact with friends and his nearly 500 employees.
