A Palestinian boy takes part in a military-style summer camp being held by the Islamic Jihad movement during the youth summer school vacation in Rafah town, in the southern Gaza Strip, on June 12, 2013.
From Dr. Mike Evans:
In a paper called Gaza’s Tunnel Phenomenon: The Unintended Dynamics of Israel’s Siege, Nicolas Pelham recounts his trip to Gaza in 2011. During his visit, Hamas officials showed him some of the tunnels they had dug—and he was shocked to see children and teenagers being used to dig the tunnels. Pelham reported, “Nothing was done to impede the use of children in the tunnels, where, much as in Victorian coal mines, they are prized for their nimble bodies.” Tragically, according to his report (and this was nearly three years ago) Hamas admitted that at least 160 of these children had died in digging their terror tunnels.
What a heartbreaking, tragic report! Our leaders are pushing Israel to make peace with monsters who willingly sacrifice the lives of their own children so they can kill more Jews. It is an outrage. We must cry out, sounding the trumpet in Zion, urging others to join us in support of Israel. And we must do all that we can to help the Jewish people in these difficult days.
We are running advertisements in Israeli media offering help to Holocaust survivors and the elderly with basic food and medicines that they need. The government is overwhelmed with the needs. We are receiving hundreds of calls for help—and our funds are running low. If you can help today it would be such a precious gift to the Jewish people. Thank you for standing with us and with them in this crucial hour.
With the growing level of violence, our support for the Jewish people today is more important than ever—and we need your help to support the work of the Jerusalem Prayer Team and our outreaches to meet the needs of the poor and show the meaning of true Christian love with the Friends of Zion Heritage Center.
