Arab Journalists Visit Israel, Shocked by Positive Reality - Israel Today
Arab Journalists Visit Israel, Shocked by Positive Reality
Wednesday, February 24, 2016 | Israel Today Staff
Four Arab journalists who live in Europe and work for major Arabic-language media outlets visited Israel this week and were somewhat surprised to find reality did not match the horrific myths they had been fed all their lives.
“The visit to Israel was exciting and unique. It is a shame that most people in the Arab world are still filled with blind hatred and prejudice toward Israel,” an Iraqi journalist identified as G.M. told Israel’s Ynet news portal.
“This visit to Israel changed the way we think about all of you,” said another of the Arab guests. “We can argue about things, including the Palestinian issue, but we must not fall into the trap of hatred and incitement.”
A third journalist pointed out that the visit had allowed him and his fellow Arab colleagues to “learn things we did not know before. …This trip undoubtedly will allow us to convey a different image of Israel to our readers.”
During the visit, which was organized by Israel’s Foreign Ministry, the Arab journalists were taken to the Holocaust Museum Yad VaShem, the Kneesset and the Supreme Court. They were also given opportunities to speak to average Israelis, both Jews and Arabs, on the streets of Israel’s major cities.
The journalists all asked that their names not be publicized for fear that visiting an “enemy” nation could put their jobs, and even their lives, at risk.

A Christian in the IDF? What's That Like? - Israel Today
A Christian in the IDF?
What's That Like?
Wednesday, February 24, 2016 | Israel Today Staff
A growing number of Jewish and Arab believers in Jesus are serving in the Israeli army, and many are curious what it’s like for these young men and women to be in such a position.
Our favorite Messianic YouTuber Hananya Naftali explains in the video above.
Naftali repeatedly uses the word “Christian” for what most of our readers might consider a “Messianic Jew,” but the fact is that the words are interchangeable linguistically, especially to a Hebrew-speaking audience.
One solid point made by Naftali is that in Israel it is often best to be a witness first in deed, and only then in word. Most Jews have already been told about Jesus, but very few have actually seen his love demonstrated in the actions of the Church.

What Has Israel Done For You Lately? - Israel Today
What Has Israel Done For You Lately?
Monday, February 22, 2016 | Israel Today Staff
Most of the mainstream news regarding Israel is related to conflict, but year after year Israel punches far above its weight in a wide range of other areas. Sadly, far too little of that receives significant media coverage.
Jerusalem Online recently ran an op-ed listing the five top ways that the author of that piece felt Israel had helped the world in 2015.
A summary of that list is as follows:
- Israel continues to aid the victims of Syria’s civil war both by granting entry to those in need of urgent medical care and by sending aid teams to refugee camps throughout Europe;
- Israeli intelligence played a key role in thwarting a massive ISIS terrorist attack in Germany last November;
- Israel was one of the first on the ground and provided a disproportionate amount of assistance when an earthquake ravaged the nation of Nepal;
- Israel fed the entire population of Vanuato for a full month after a tropical cyclone devastated the tiny island nation last March;
- Israel leads in the battle against the global water crisis by providing innovative solutions to over 150 nations where water is far too scarce.
Of course, this list is by no means comprehensive. Despite Israel’s tiny size, minuscule population and lack of significant natural resources, it routinely contributes disproportionately to the good of the international community.

When It Hasn’t Happened Yet - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
When It Hasn’t Happened Yet
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“My soul, wait in silence for God alone, because my
hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won’t be
moved.” (Psalm 62:6-7 Complete Jewish Bible)
Disappointment and
discouragement go hand in hand. You had put your hopes on an expected desire to
be fulfilled, and it didn’t happen. Discouragement then followed, and you even
wondered if what had been promised to you would ever happen. It has been two
years, five years, even seven years since the word was delivered to you. Might it even be 40? What
is going on Lord?
Thinking back, you believe you
did all the right things along the way. You prayed, you fasted, you gave
yourself to everything you knew to do. And yet in the time you thought it would
have come by now it had not. The right person to marry, that move to another
location to start over, the beginning of a new work that had been burning in
your heart since youth.
“Surely this was you Lord, and
yet when will it come to pass? Why is it taking so long?” you cry silently in
your heart.
We all know the stories of
Moses and Joseph, who each were given a word that they would do something great
for God. For Moses, it was to lead God’s people out of the long-endured
suffering in Egypt. For Joseph, it was to rule a nation in order to save his
family, and many others. Both of these would be mighty accomplishments if they
ever happened. But years into the struggle to believe, it hadn’t. I can imagine
Moses (Moshe in Hebrew) saying to himself in the 39th year, “I am
quitting. This will never happen. How could I have been so wrong?”
And Joseph, in prison for two
years, previously spending 11 with the Egyptian Potiphar after being bought as his
slave, could have said the same. “It won’t happen. The dream was just a dream.
What was I thinking?”
How many times have we come so close
to seeing something completed, a dream come true, and then we gave up hope just
short of it? Probably more that we would know, by not allowing the Lord’s time
period to be completed. But even in those times we missed it, the Lord was
still directing our steps. He realizes our weaknesses, and accomplishes His
will in spite of those shortcomings.
Knowing that our Lord Jesus knows
all, I am encouraged that He will indeed finish what He started. The hope
within, to keep on pressing on, even when it seems nothing will change, in and
of itself is a gift from the Lord. His Holy Spirit within us is there to help
us keep believing, trusting, and seeing our dream accomplished. After all, He
is the One who gave us the dream. And when it hasn’t happened as yet, He will
give us the grace and fortitude to keep hoping and trusting until it does.
I encourage you to keep your
eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith.
“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so
great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so
easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before
us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy
that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat
down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2, NKJV)
The promise, the dream, the desire of your heart
will come to pass. The Lord Himself gave that to you, and He was not kidding
around. What He says He will do, He will do. Keep strong in your faith, and don’t
give up.
