Why Should We Care About Israel?

I’ve often wondered what I would have done if I had lived in Germany during the Holocaust. Would I have just gone along, business as usual? Would I have buried my head in the sand? Or would I have faced the truth about what was going on and asked God what He would have me do? Would I have risked my life by hiding Jews?

The Holocaust was possible because of the lies and propaganda perpetuated by Hitler. Propaganda is a powerful weapon and today it is more easily wielded than ever because of social media.

Today, Jews are under a demonic attack that hasn’t been seen since the Holocaust. I don’t want to bury my head in the sand. And I certainly don’t want to be deceived by the proliferation of propaganda and lies that abound in the news and social media today.

Even though it breaks my heart, I want to know the truth. Unfortunately, news services are not reliable sources of information because they only report the stories that conform to their narrative. News that does not fit that narrative will not be reported. Consider the words of Matti Friedman, former AP correspondent.

“In early 2009, for example, two colleagues of mine obtained information that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had made a significant peace offer to the Palestinian Authority several months earlier, and that the Palestinians had deemed it insufficient. This had not been reported yet and it was—or should have been—one of the biggest stories of the year.”

Friedman goes on to say, “During the 2008-2009 Gaza fighting I personally erased a key detail—that Hamas fighters were dressed as civilians and being counted as civilians in the death toll—because of a threat to our reporter in Gaza. (The policy was then, and remains, not to inform readers that the story is censored unless the censorship is Israeli.)”

“For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye—  I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.” Zechariah 2:8-9 NIV (emphasis mine)

God said, “I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. Genesis 17:7 NIV (emphasis mine)

“The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.” Genesis 13:14-15 NIV (emphasis mine)

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.” For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.” Psalm 122:6-9 NIV (emphasis mine)

By the way, ostriches don’t really bury their heads in the sand. Only humans do that!

According to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the majority of children arriving at camps like Auschwitz were sent directly to the gas chambers upon arrival. Some, however, were chosen for dangerous science experiments or forced manual labor. Pictured here, child survivors of Auschwitz don adult-size prisoner jackets.

Pray for Israel
