The most important mitzvah we in the Diaspora can follow, is to educate those who do not understand that our homeland, Eretz Yisrael, is not the aggressor here. She did not fire the first missile, rocket, or bullet. As a matter of fact, Israel hesitated to respond to the Hamas aggression, out of the concern for pikuach nefesh. And even when the decision is made to respond, that mitzvah is still pre-eminent in the minds of the commanders, “How can we respond with the absolute least amount of collateral damage that might injure or kill innocent civilians?”
We have learned from all of our great leaders, from Avraham Avinu, to Devorah HaShofate, from King David and on, that all the Jewish people want is to live peacefully in their tiny strip of land, in harmony with the neighbors all around. And let it be so! Amen.

Everyone can help.
I know that Hashem will always look after His people and will always deliver them, though often it is not without a fight and some casualties. I live in the comfort and safety of Australia and wondered how to help, apart from offering daily prayers. So I set about posting items on Facebook that tell the truth about this situation to counter the lies the media simply accepts from HAMAS.
Let me encourage everyone to do all they can to let your friends and family know that the media chooses to repeat lies. It is easy. It is easy and I know it helps. This morning Bibi Netanyahu posted a message thanking us all for the part we have chosen to play in helping defend the reputation of Israel.
Ben, we have never met, but know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers (and our Facebook timeline :-).

It’s really hard to hear from news about increasing violence over Israel. Right now in my city I experience something alike where it’s difficult to go out for work, leave children at school, going for lunch or alike, while you’re uncertain if something could go wrong during the day. Anyway, Hashem supports and assures that He’s looking for His own, since we’re His special treasure.
May His Name be exalted as we trust in Him.
B”H

All of my brothers, sisters and I here in the USA are praying for protection over all of G-d’s children in Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem! May you all be like father Abraham, selflessly serving all those who cross your path and who was made righteous in the sight of G-d by his faith (trust) in G-d’s promises and doing what G-d commanded out of that trust! G-d seeks for the heart and He desires for us all to serve Him with the heart in everything we do. G-d bless you all and may He draw you closer and reveal more of Himself to you. Shalom, Ebby
