💔 Heartbreaking...

2024 - A fateful year?

With elections in the US, Russia, the European Union and India, fateful decisions will be made over the coming 12 months that will determine global politics for many years to come.

And with major wars raging in Gaza and Ukraine, leaders in those nations are heaviliy influenced by the resulting security and economic implications of conflict.

We are indeed living in fateful times.

Member of Knesset Danny Danon (Likud) says that certain nations in South America and Africa have agreed to take in refugees from Gaza in return for financial aid.

Demonstrators in northern Israel this morning demand the government immediately launch a war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Lebanon stands on the brink of a destructive war.

If all the "peace activists" protesting the Gaza war were really anti-war, they'd protest now for Hezbollah to stop attacking Israel BEFORE full-scale war breaks out.

But they aren't actually anti-war.

They're anti-Israel.

International law does not grant immunity to terrorists who violate that same law by misusing civilian infrastructure.

Even a hospital becomes a legitimate target if it is being used for military or terrorist purposes.

One of the soldiers who fell in Gaza died of a dangerous rash that broke out all over his body. (Channel 12)

Many of our young soldiers are on the battlefield for days or weeks at a time without a change of clothes or socks. To say nothing of the inability to shower.

Very often they lack protective gear against the wet and cold wintery weather.

We are still working day and night to help provide IDF units with the gear they are lacking to keep our soldiers safe and healthy as they fight this war.

You can still take part in this important mission 👇

We must not forget the enormity of the barbarism visited upon Israel on October 7.

The New York Times is literally making up new "facts."

Of course, the headline here is entirely false. Gaza deaths most certainly have not surpassed any Arab war losses in the past 40 years.

Just to give the most obvious example - over 300,000 have died in Syria's ongoing civil war over the past 10 years.

‼️ A rocket fired from Gaza a short time ago struck a synagogue in southern Israel.

Shaul competed just a few weeks ago in HaKochav HaBa (Rising Star), one of Israel's top reality singing contest shows.

Master sergeant Maor Lavi, 33, fell in combat in the Gaza Strip today.

May his memory be a blessing.

I just encountered two local Christian Arabs arguing on social media over the identity of Jesus.

One is a "Palestinian" Christian who heads a Bible college. And he insists Jesus was a "Palestinian," through begrudgingly acknowledges that he was born to Jewish parents (however that works).

The other is a young woman, an Israeli Arab Christian, and she was having none of that "Palestinian" nonsense.

Her firm response:

"Yeshua was a Jew, with a Hebrew name, a descendent of Abraham and David, that was born in Judea, to fulfill the promise that was given to the people of Israel by the God of Israel.

"He was born to save the Jew first and also the gentile..."

Sadly, so many of those in positions to teach don't know, accept or acknowledge even basic biblical facts. And that's why an entire generation of young Christians is now biblically illiterate.

Thankfully, this young woman was raised on the truth.

Earlier in the day, Houthi forces in Yemen attacked the cargo ship MSC UNITED.

‼️ A bomb exploded outside the Israeli embassy in Dehli, India today.

The Israeli government issued a warning to the many Israelis traveling in India to be vigilant, avoid crowded places where Israelis are known to congregate, do not post travel details on social media, and even to avoid wearing outward symbols associated with Israel or Judaism.
