If you love Israel, you don’t have to feel helpless. Here are twelve things you can do for the Jewish State right now:
[1] Be informed – Learn the history of the conflict. Do background reading. Good places to start include: “The Clash of Civilizations and Remaking of World Order” (1996) by Samuel P. Huntington, “The Case for Israel” (2004) by Alan Dershowitz and “Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs” (2008) by Robert Spencer.
[2] Follow news of the war – reliable sources include The Washington Times (especially its commentary pages), FOX News, The Wall Street Journal (editorial pages), The New York Post and websites like Frontpage Mag.
[3] Put up an “I support Israel” yard sign — weather-resistant vinyl with metal frame, around $15 to $20, plus shipping.
[4] Wear an Israel lapel pin — Available for under $10.
[5] Go to a rally — Check with your closest Israeli consulate, synagogue or local Jewish Community Relations Council for dates and locations near you.
[6] Donate to Magen David Adom – Israel’s emergency medical services. They’re needed more than ever now. You can donate HERE.
[7] Plant a tree in Israel – Through the Jewish National Fund, for only $18 each.
[8] Become an Internet warrior – When you find a particularly useful news story, commentary or website, pass it on to your contact list.
[9] Write letters to the editor of your local newspaper – in response to a news story, editorial or commentary. You can find out how at the paper’s website. Remember, letters in support are as important as letters in opposition.
[10] Support pro-Israel groups – like Students United for Israel, Christians United for Israel Zionist Organization of America and American for a Safe Israel.
[11] Contact your local state legislators – requesting that your state legislature pass a resolution supporting Israel and denouncing Hamas terrorism. They might get help drafting from the American Legislative Exchange Council.
[12] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
I donated to Mogen David Adom-my blood-on October 19th. Boy. was that a hassle. Mogen David Adom’s website listed the wrong address for the collection point.
This is a great list
An excellent to do list. Thank you.
I also see that the U.S. plans to evacuate thousands of Americans from the Middle East. What about all the Americans that were abandoned in Kabul? Do they somehow get first priority since they were left to rot first? Or, will the Biden cartel ultimately let all the other Americans rot? My guess is that what passes for “government” in this country will let everyone rot and be slaughtered. A legitimately elected government wouldn’t do this.
For too many Americans, the withdrawal that was perhaps America’s greatest humiliation has been mostly forgotten. Those left behind are a reminder of that debacle. So for those responsible, getting them home and telling their stories is not a priority.
I think it was done deliberately.
An American Jewish man, a writer, living in Israel, recently wrote this: “The Creator is looking…how so many people around the world…reflexively hate His beloved people…” So then, what about a prayer that the Angel of the Lord do for Israel what He did for Judah in II Kings 19 prior to their captivity? 2 Kings 19:19, 20, 34, & 35 “Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only…Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me…I have heard…For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake…And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp…an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.” I realize what happened thereafter. The southern kingdom went into Babylonian captivity, then Persia; an allowed return to Jerusalem. The empire of Greece, Rome, other Gentile rulership. Then Israel made a nation in 1948. So, again, cannot Israel petition the Lord and His Angel?
The “Lord” did diddly squat when the Jews were being incinerated in Auschwitz and will do nothing for Israel in the current war for the simple reason that there is no sentient “Creator.” This is the stuff of fairly tales. What will do the job is steely determination, guns, bombs, etc. along with an unrelenting focus to destroy the enemies of the Jews in Israel, the Americas – everywhere. Full stop.
Read Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39.
If it acknowledged that there are a people called Jews and a nation called Israel, where did they come from? Abraham wasn’t born a Hebrew. He was just “Abram.” He didn’t make himself a Jew or make his nation from his own idea or plan. So, the Jew, the nation Israel, could come from only one source, God, the Creator. Of course, we read about this in the Bible. As far as a un-sentient Creator, I highly recommend, besides reading the Bible, a book called “The Silence of God,” by Sir Robert Anderson. Besides being a bible student, teacher and writer, Anderson also worked as a policeman in the Scotland Yard. I know Kregel Publications printed Anderson’s books.
My score is 7 out of 12. Must try harder
I sure as heck won’t be getting my information from either the WSJ or Fox News. They’re a propagandist’s dream.
Steve…I promise, you will be a different person if you read and properly understand Daniel 9:24-27 and Ezekial 37 and 38.. we are living in biblical times. Without absolute perfection the story has been told ahead of time.
As a bonus try thessalonian4:16. The trumpet is about to sound. Hope to meet you in the clouds.. its going to be sooo awesome. Sincerely yours
Its totally amazing and awesome, the Truth and the Power of the Word of God. The Scriptures are coming to life before us.
Revelation 5. Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne, a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a might angel proclaiming with a loud voice. “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” And no one in heaven or on the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it. And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and the seven seals. Only the Lamb, the Lion of Judah is worthy to open the scrolls of his covenant with man and ancient manuscripts.
If saying we’re living in biblical times, it is meant that we’re living in prophetic times, we are not. We’re living in the dispensation of the grace of God. This was not seen or foretold by prophecy. Ephesians 3:1-4 “I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery…” Romans 16:25 “…the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,” The prophetic clock was paused when the Lord saved Saul of Tarsus in Acts 9. However, yes, the event which will resume the ticking of the prophetic clock is the catching away of the body of Christ described in 1 Thess. 4. But, we don’t know when that will happen. Romans 11 does shed some light on that, though.
Thankyou for the wise instructions. Most of us are doing these things. We also know the Holy Bible and we know that God is ultimately going to change this world to be God centered, not man centered, and HE WILL REIGN.
Another action people can take to support Israel is to volunteer with Sar El. sar-el.org
Contribute to the security of the State of Israel by assisting on IDF bases in a logistical support role. It’s an amazing experience.
The need right now is great. Even when the emergency is over and reservists are able to go home, volunteering will allow active duty soldiers a bit of time off to deal with their trauma at home with family and friends.
Sar-El is the only volunteer program that situates volunteers directly on IDF bases to work side by side with IDF soldiers.
Additional ways to help:
1. Join the IDF in Israel
2. Fight terror supporters if abroad
3. Wear and distribute printed shirts such as:
“Either you support Israel or you support terror”
” Don’t worry cowards, Israel will free the world from Iranian terror”
“Hamassholes beware” (with a jihad fighter within crosshairs)
” I ran over and Iranian Ayatollah”
” Butt out Obama”
Another way is to make pro-Israel/anti-Hamas protest art and get it spread as far and wide as possible. I’m a poet, and four such poems (including one of mine) have been published in The Society of Classical Poets so far:
Another thing to do is distance yourself further from the left and raise awareness about how evil an ideology it is. For example, I have a Jewish friend who resigned from the Democratic Party over this issue.
