		In October 2001 Ta’ayush launched a donation campaign for families living in the southern Gaza Strip who had lost their property and means of livelihood as a result of the killings, siege and destruction of the past year.
		The donation campaign is a possible substitute for this, since it is also a political-humanitarian act, which expresses our sense of support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, living under the Israeli occupation, and also our protest against the crimes committed by the occupying forces.
		The family members send their thanks to Ta’ayush, and note that in addition to the much-needed physical aid, they are encouraged by the knowledge that there are “other Israelis” and support from people around the world.

		In the First Temple Era: The priests in the First Temple stopped offering the daily sacrifice on this day (Taanit 28b) due to the shortage of sheep during the siege and the next year 3184 (586 BCE), the walls of Jerusalem were breached after many months of siege by Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonian forces.

	HISTORIC GOZO Island Just South of Sicily centre of the Mediterranean
		At the center of Gozo, commanding a superb view of the island, is the Citadel (Cittadella) which for centuries served as the islanders' safest sanctuary, and after the Great Siege of 1565, the Knights set about encircling it with battlements.
		A center of pilgrimage for Gozitans and Maltese, the modern neo-Romanesque sanctuary of Ta Pinu rises majestically in the isolated countryside.
		Then there is the Azure Window, a stunning break in the rocky shoreline, Ta' Pinu Basilica which is a center of pilgrimage, and the new church at Xewkija with one of the world's largest free - standing domes.

	Iranica.com - MONGOLS
		The Qara-Khitan were reduced in about 1218, and in the same year the massacre by the K¨úa@razmæa@h's governor at Otra@r of a group of merchants, acting as envoys on Ùengiz Khan's behalf, furnished a pretext for his seven-year campaign against the Khwarazmian empire (615-621/1218-1224).
		In the course of Ùengiz Khan's seven-year campaign to the west, the Khwarazmian empire was overthrown and the cities of Transoxiana, Khorasan and Sista@n were taken and usually sacked; wholesale massacres occurred at Marv and Niæa@pur.
		The notion of a pax Mongolica, however, must be severely qualified for the era after 1261-2, when the different Mongol khanates were often at war.
