Israel and Gaza: Light in Dark Times

10/19/2023
Terrorists murdered 1,400 Jews in cold blood while recording their massacre on their GoPros.

While the Nazis tried to conceal their crimes against humanity, Hamas is live-streaming them. The world's silence is deafening, as some "enlightened" individuals from prestigious institutions are celebrating and supporting terrorism either openly or through their silence. The world appears to be growing darker. How can we bring light to this very dark world and help our brothers and sisters in Israel from so far away?
