U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told reporters this week that ending the war in Gaza “as quickly as possible” is a top priority for the Biden Administration. The war would end today if Hamas stopped trying to destroy Israel. This is not a war Israel chose…they are fighting for their lives. But this is a war Israel must win, and no nation should be putting pressure on the Jewish state to do anything less than everything required for their future security.
Hundreds of synagogues, schools, and other Jewish institutions across the United States received emailed bomb threats over the weekend. A number of Shabbat services were disrupted, and the level of fear and tension continues to rise. This new wave of anti-Semitic threats is a painful and powerful reminder that the threats facing Jewish people are not just directed at those living in Israel. This ancient evil is alive and well all around the world, and we must do everything in our power to fight against it.

Nowhere in Israel is safe right now. Rockets are exploding—not just near the Gaza border, but close to Tel Aviv and in the northern region of Galilee. Every Jewish person is a target—not because of anything they have done, but simply because they are Jewish. The outrageous rise of anti-Semitism is the direct result of demonic powers, and we must fight against them. We must also do everything possible to meet the urgent needs of the suffering people of the House of Israel.
The ongoing fighting in Gaza is taking a heavy toll on the IDF soldiers. They are taking extreme measures to avoid civilian casualties even though Hamas is using the people of Gaza as human shields. As a result, dozens have been killed, and more than 2,000 injured. This is not a war Israel wanted—it was forced on them—but it is a war they must win, and they need our help.
IDF soldiers are on high alert in the northern part of the country, even as the fighting in the south in Gaza continues to intensify. Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon have increased their missile and rocket attacks across the border. Iran is known to have provided them with hundreds of thousands of rockets, the word to launch a full-scale strike could come from Tehran at any moment. A second front in the war would place incredible strain on Israel’s military, economy, and people.
