Eight months ago it was the staging point for the uprooting of Gaza's strong and thriving Jewish community, the first ever unilateral surrender of parts of its divinely-mandated homeland by the nation of Israel.

Now Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha, situated adjacent to Gaza in the Western Negev, is in the midst of a nightmare after lab tests confirmed at the weekend its poultry stock is infected with the deadly H5N1 virus - better known as "the bird flu."

Jewish National Front Party leader Baruch Marzel says the correlation is no coincidence.

As reported by Israel's Ynet, Marzel wrote to the heads of Ein Hashlosha Sunday, charging:

"The kibbutz was used to house the expulsion headquarters because of greed, and therefore the bird flu outbreak happened there of all places."

While the secular liberalism that rules much of Israel today rejects the notion of a sovereign God interfering in the affairs of men, the precedent for such supernatural retributive action was set long ago:

"Because you [Jehoram, king of Judah] have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father...but have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot...and also have killed your brothers...who were better than yourself, behold, the LORD will strike your people with a serious affliction." (2 Chronicles 21:12-14)

The people of Israel suffered similarly for King David's sin of ordering a census and taking pride in the number of his men:

"So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheva seventy thousand men of the people died." (2 Samuel 24:15)

Foretelling the destruction of the northern kingdom of Israel for its innumerable transgressions, the Almighty declared through the Prophet Micah:

"Therefore I will also make you sick by striking you."
