And so it begins- the betrayal of Israel by the world. Just as we all knew it would. The press has been in pretzel mode since this war began, trying to keep their traditional pro-Palestinian stance while not angering readers by sounding too anti-Israel. The UN has all but outright blamed Israel for the war and for war crimes. They are also pushing for a cease fire- a move that would only help Hamas. It is the typical Islamic jihad play book: attack Israel, and when Israel retaliates the UN calls for a cease fire and Israel obliges. Only now Israel is not giving in, instead throwing the UN out on their ear!
The difference now is the US is calling for a cease fire too ... oh, excuse me, a “humanitarian pause,” which is Joe the Blow Democratic double speak for a cease fire.
I want to posit that had the Republican leadership not have sold Trump and the nation down the river- if we had a strong President and not a senile, hate filled liberal in the White House- Hamas and Iran would have never dared to do this. Had American the moral backbone to stand and demand a fair election the world would not be once again on the brink of global war.
Don't just pray for Israel, take a stand for her every time some woke sleaze-ball speaks out against her. And most of all, we need prayer vigils and some good old fashioned revivals! That is the only thing I think can stop the attacks on Israel and save our nation right now.
2 Chronicles 7:14-20 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Many so called "aid organizations" as well as "humanitarian organizations" are now openly turning on Israel. For example, the Red Cross and Amnesty International have accused Israel of war crimes. Also I am getting flooded with requests for my financial support for Israel. Not only have I not heard of most of these, I cannot find them on a computer search. And they certainly have not been evaluated by any of the watchdog orgs I use to check where my money goes. I won't name any, since some may actually want to do good. My point is, I don't know. What I do know is every time there is a crises these orgs spring up, take a fortune in donations that might have gone to actually do good, then they slip silently away. I give, but only to orgs I am sure of; orgs that have been around for decades and who have low admin costs compared to what gets to those in need. I would suggest you all do the same.
So please, check out any organizations before donating money. Have they been around for a while? Are admin costs less than 15%, and if not, why? Does their rhetoric and actions match what they say when they ask you for money? Are they taking advantage of a good reputation built by previous generations to cash in, making left wing ideologues who've taken over rich- or worse actually sending your money to the enemy camp! The enemy is already very well funded. We cannot afford to waste any of what we have.
We live in the information age, where a simple search can tell you all this and more. There is no excuse for our sending money where it will do more harm than good. These may well be the last days, and if so we are told ha'satan will be very active. But he doesn't fly around taking pot-shots. He acts through humans, some of them well meaning but misguided. Israel is not the only ones at war. We are at war with the enemy of our souls; the same enemy that hates the Jewish people so much. Like it or not, we are all on the front lines here. If your shots are fired ineffectively it actually puts everyone else at risk. But a solid, effective front of men and women dedicated to the God of Avraham and His people can do more than all the well funded enemy forces. So stand strong, hold the line, and when you send money to someone, make sure your aim is true.

A Jewish friend responded to this by PM. He knows a guy- an ex-Israeli spec ops guy who is doing what he can to help. I am going to send his letter, but I will redact his phone number for security purposes (not everyone reading this will be a decent sort).
I want to point something out: I know and trust the source. However we should be careful giving like this because, while saving all admin costs we loose the oversight protection of a large org. And accounts have been hacked and all manner of scams run. So be careful.
I will send some extra as I can, but I will not divert funds, diminishing my giving to those orgs I have a solid history with.
Here’s his message:
I have established communication with several units in Israel, where reservists are being deployed to the war zone without proper protection.
I am personally coordinating a donation campaign for the Israeli IDF. This fundraising effort aims to provide funding for standard Israeli-made Level 4 bulletproof vests and ballistic helmets for the soldiers who don’t have this essential equipment.
The donated funds will be sent directly to Israel. I have a personal connection with a tanks officer in reserve duty who manages orders precisely according to the units' requirements.
If you wish to contribute, please reach out to me directly at (number redacted). Please note, do not send money to this phone number . This is just for content purposes.
To assure you that this is a legitimate initiative, I have included my name and contact information. May God protect all the soldiers of the IDF and the security forces.
Amen
Josef (Yossi) Lapko
If you want his contact info, PM me. If you do not have a history here, don't bother, as I will not give that out to just anyone.
