ISRAEL INSIDE

How A Small Nation Makes A Big Difference

Israel Inside: How a Small Nation Makes a Big Difference is a new feature-length documentary that explores the positive characteristics of Israeli society from a humanistic, psychological, and emotional perspective. This insightful and uplifting documentary sidesteps the usual conversation of politics, conflict and violence, and tells the story of the Israeli people – whose resilience has propelled Israel to the forefront of world innovation and progress.

Despite daily challenges ranging from limited resources to security needs, Israeli creativity and inventiveness help make the world a better place. Israel has made significant advancements in the fields of science, environment, medicine and technology, and has shared these developments with the rest of the world.

How did this happen? What underlying growth factors have given rise to this small nation’s triumph over adversity?

Radicals can be defeated

I was gratified to read the article by Kasim Hafeez, a former anti-Semite who had become a Zionist. I was particularly gratified to learn that my book, The Case for Israel, played a role in his conversion from irrational hatred to support based on his own observations of the reality of Israel.

Hafeez's article came at a time when I was becoming skeptical of my own ability, and that of others who try to make the civil liberties case for Israel, to influence public opinion. The hatred for Israel in parts of Europe and on many university campuses has become so irrational that no evidence, regardless of how indisputable and powerful it may be, seems to be able to change closed minds hardened by years of unremitting falsehoods. These falsehoods take on an aura of undeserved credibility, particularly when espoused by people who identify themselves as Jewish or Israeli (or even formerly Jewish or formally Israeli.)

Christians, Jews to unite against Islam?

Op-ed: Will Jews, Christians finally join forces in battle against genocidal Islamic hatred?

The Coliseum, where thousands upon thousands of "Judaeis" have been massacred by the Roman emperors, became for one night an arena for alliance between Christians and Jews against “odium fidei,” or religious hatred.

Last Wednesday in Rome, Jewish leaders for the first time rallied alongside Christians in a candlelit vigil to denounce the attacks in the Middle East and Africa. It was “interfaith” or “ecumenical” dialogue at its best. Forget the theological questions, which remain unsolvable. There is an urgent mutual solidarity about the single most defining issue of our time: religious freedom.

Israel Under Fire: Missile Barrage Hits South

Once again, 1 million Israelis have spent the last 48 hours running to the nearest bomb shelters or their reinforced rooms. Most of the headlines and articles have focused on Israeli air strikes on terrorist targets in Gaza that have resulted in the deaths of over a dozen Palestinians. But what about the impact of some 130 rockets (so far) aimed at Israeli towns and cities?

The Times of London describes rockets being fired at “Israeli border towns” while the Financial Times headlines its story “Escalation in Gaza border violence”. Ashkelon (population 113,000), Ashdod (population 206,000) and Beersheba (population 194,000) are anything but “border towns”.

Likewise, the weaponry deployed by Gazan terrorists is a far cry from “homemade” rockets.

The Family Nest Project

The Ashkelon Family Nest Project assists children in Ashkelon that are in financial and emotional distress.

Ashkelon Family Nest Background:

The Family Nest Association

The Nest Project is run by the Family Nest Association together with the Social Services Department. The program was established in 1989 to help families with young children that avoid using the services provided by the community or that use these services inefficiently, that have at least one child under the age of 6 and have difficulty functioning as parents. Consequently their children are neglected and/ or at risk. The Nest Program is a "Home Visit" program for young mothers to deal with family problems such as: violence in the family, alcoholism/ drug abuse, single parent families, immigrant families, socio-economic problems, and so forth. The common denominator among these women is their inability to cope with routine tasks and this situation creates extreme difficulties for the mothers and places their children at risk.

Kasrils gets “serious drubbing” in PE

“Chuck Volpe demolishes Kasrils!” says David Abel of what he calls “an absolutely brilliant presentation in every aspect at the Nelson Mandela Metropole University in P.E. on Monday, where Chuck “amply demonstrated the latent quality of our local talented pro-Israel advocates!”
