2:42pm Jews Gather Around the Country to Pray for Wounded Border Policeman

This is… unusual…

Jews around the country are gathering for improptu prayers for wounded Border Policeman Bar-el Shmueli, who was shot by a Gaza terrorist.

Soldiers are holding prayer sessions for him before going out on operations. Other soldiers are praying outside his room.

Thousands of Israelis gathered last night to say Selichot underneath his hospital window. 

Others said prayers on the Temple Mount and the Kotel.

These are amazing videos of the country coming together to pray for Bar-el Achiya Hadria ben Nitza.

Youre a piece of shit with no culture that has to steal it from arabs lmaoooo how embarrassing. Its not enough that you stile the land, now the culture and the food and our songs etc etc scum of the earth, i would spit on people like you

Hello dear friend,

So much refinery in one message, such a shame you are too must of a coward to stay on Anon. It's a been hard to steal on a culture that came after you though... Jews and their connection to Israel (3000 years) is older than Islam is for example. Don't get stuck on the Idea of modern Israel, we have been here since ancient times.

So go ahead and spit on me love, a little rain only makes the flowers grow brighter.

Peace & Love

Yes, Aaron, it’s true. Pharaoh has the power. He can take away your food, your home, your freedom. He can take away your sons and daughters. With one word, Pharaoh can take away your very lives. But there is one thing he cannot take away from you. Your faith. Believe. For we will see God’s wonders.

On this day three years ago, a Palestinian Arab terrorist murdered border policeman Solomon Gavriyah and civilian security guards Youssef Ottman and Or Arish as they were guarding the community of Har Adar near Jerusalem.

The terrorist, who held an Israeli work permit and frequently worked in Har Adar, approached the guard station and asked the guards to let him in to work. But suddenly, the terrorist drew a gun and began spraying bullets at the guards before eventually being shot and killed by other security guard

It was reported that moments before the attack, two activists from the far-Left Israeli NGO “Machsom Watch” arrived at the guard station and harassed the security guards, even telling Solomon Gavriyah “You are a disgrace.

"May the memories of Solomon, Youssef and Or be a blessing.

There was a Black Lives Matter protest last night in Tel Aviv. Some of the responses have been that this was hypocritical because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that just makes no sense. 

I was at that protest. It was led by Black Israelis, Black American immigrants to Israel, and Black Jews. The main focus was on solidarity with victims of police brutality in the US but the organizers literally said we can’t ignore the context of being in Israel. They included Palestinians, Ethiopians, Jews of color, and talked about police brutality here. They talked about Iyad Halak and there were signs for him too. 

It’s really frustrating how people act like Israeli citizens are all agents of the government. Do people in other countries agree with everything their government, police, and military do? No. The same is true for Israelis. 

Police brutality and racism has to end - in America, in Israel, everywhere.

Black Lives Matter - Black Lives Matter in America, Black Lives Matter in Israel, Black Lives Matter everywhere.

This is the Mesha Stele. Written around 850 BCE, it was commissioned by King Mesha of Moab, a small nation around what is today Jordan. The basalt stele describes how Chemosh, the god of Moab, had previously been angry with his people and had allowed them to be subjugated to Israel but he eventually returned to his people and helped them gain their freedom from Israel. The stone then details King Mesha’s building projects.

The Mesha Stele roughly agrees with the Israelites version of events in the Books of Kings (2 Kings 3:4–8). Which makes it really, really important historically. The stele is also the most extensive inscription ever recovered that refers to the kingdom of Israel and it bears the earliest certain reference to the Israelite god Yahweh outside of the Bible itself.
