The following is an excerpt from an email sent to me by Yael Eckstein, President of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews:
Now for the story you won’t see on the news, because it doesn’t serve the world’s anti-Israel agenda: the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) saving Syrian refugee lives on the border. Omer is a paramedic in the IDF and in his eyes, everyone is created in God’s image and everyone matters. So when Syrian women, children, and elderly come to the border begging for medical help, Omer and his paramedic team can’t say no. Just a few months ago, Omer helped save the life of an innocent 10-year-old Syrian girl after a barrel bomb was dropped on her home. Only she and her mother survived and were told by a bombed-out hospital that her ONLY chance was to plead for mercy at Israel’s border. But they didn’t have to plead — because Israel stands for life. Omer and his team raced to the border to care for her severe head and chest injuries, performing an emergency operation right there in the field in the middle of the night. Because of Omer, this little girl is alive today. God promises that if you care for the “needs of the oppressed,” that your “light will rise in the darkness.” And Omer’s light is one of many that make Israel a light to the nations. This is just one of many reasons we stand with Israel. Don't be silent when people bash Israel because of what they hear on the news. Speak the truth.
