Dutch Christians Help Troubled Israeli Youth
Dutch Christians Help Troubled Israeli Youth
Sunday, May 18, 2014 | Israel Today Staff
The pro-Israel Dutch organization Christians for Israel this week presented a state-of-the-art mobile sales van for use by at-risk adolescent girls enrolled in the Eden Association rehabilitation program.
The van will be the centerpiece of a new project called “Vafelina” - a play on the Hebrew form of the word “waffle” - in which girls involved in the program learn to run a self-sustaining business.
The van will operate within Eden Residential Treatment Center at Kibbutz Carmia in southern Israel, where the Vafelina girls will sell Dutch-style syrup waffles, cookies, ice cream, coffee and soft drinks.
A statement by Christians for Israel said of the endeavor:
“The tools and skills that the girls gain in the venture significantly strengthen their self-image, abilities and assist their future integration to the Israeli job market.”
Mr. Ruud van Ginkel, who headed a delegation from Christians for Israel’s business platform, said at the donation ceremony:
“…the girls of Eden are part of this prophecy [regarding the restoration of Israel]. You are the Chosen People and you are living in the Promised Land. We, as Christians, are connected to you by the same Lord. Christians all over the world are praying for you… We see it as a privilege to be here and to see that there is an organization like Eden that gives the young people who had been neglected or abused, a new start in life. …We hope and pray that many girls are going to realize that they are valuable and that this project will help them to become a good members of Israeli society.”

Report: Dutch Christians Break Anti-Israel Boycott - ISRAEL TODAY
Report: Dutch Christians Break Anti-Israel Boycott
Monday, March 31, 2014 | Israel Today Staff
Last year, a number of Dutch supermarket chains began boycotting Israeli products, or at least products from Israeli Jews living in the contested areas of Judea and Samaria, the so-called “West Bank.”
Chabad representatives in Holland are now telling Israel National Newsthat pro-Israel Christian groups in the European country have managed to at least partially break the boycott.
According to the report, the Christians threatened to in turn boycott the chains in question if they continued to bar Israeli products from their shelves. At least one chain is said to have acquiesced and returned Israeli products to its shelves in time for Passover.
The development is yet another high-profile failure for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement that seeks to isolate and economically damage the Jewish state in service to the Palestinian nationalist cause.
Recently, Hollywood superstar Scarlett Johansson made waves when she refused to bow to BDS pressure and renege on her deal to become a spokeswoman for Israeli soda-maker SodaStream, which operates a factory in the West Bank that employs hundreds of Palestinian Arabs.
Johansson even ended a long-time relationship with UK-based humanitarian group Oxfam over the fiasco. She accused the group of unfairly singling out Israel for criticism.
And, while their supposed supporters in the international arena are bullying others into boycotting Israeli goods, the Palestinians themselves have actually increased imports from the Jewish state.
Recent reports published by the Palestinian Bureau of Statistic reveal that imports from Israel are up by over 17 percent over the past year, while imports from other countries are down by over 16 percent.
As we previously reported, Palestinian Arabs simply prefer to buy “Blue & White.”
In related news, the BDS movement recently showed its ugly side when activists at the University of Michigan reportedly shouted racial slurs and issued death threats against both Jewish and non-Jewish students who refused to support a motion to divest from Israel.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, numerous students were called “dirty Jews,” and at least one was on the receiving end of “physical threats” from BDS activists during a gathering at the student government’s headquarters to discuss the issue.
