For years the land of Israel has been known as the “Land of Miracles”. For the past six decades Israel has experienced miracles after miracles especially during times of war. Now is no different. In the past several years Hamas has fired thousands of missiles into Israel with relatively little precision. On Monday 5 JAN 09 Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that only two percent of Hamas rockets score direct hits in Israel.
Personally I see this as being miraculous and not just a tribute to the incompetence of Hamas. Of the attacks that have taken place, sixty percent of the missiles have fallen in open areas while 40 percent exploded in built-up areas. Of the thousands of missiles that were fired upon Israel only 10 percent partially struck buildings while two percent slammed directly into buildings.
Obvious any loss of life is a terrible thing and we do not want to minimize their loss and their contribution to society, yet we realize that without HaShem’s intervention there would have been many more lives lost. There have been numerous eyewitness accounts of rockets landing several feet from where the people were standing or from where they had been several minutes before the time of impact.
The missile attacks of Hamas have not been discriminately directed towards military targets. Instead the Katyusha missiles hit an empty kindergarten in Ashdod where thirty children usually fill the room. Fortunately it was the building which sustained heavy damage in the attack. The week before, a rocket in Be'er Sheva slammed into a high school, where hundreds of students normally attend. Fortunately, the students were not in the building otherwise the disaster would have been horrific because the students could not have reached a fortified shelter within the 60 seconds between the activation of rocket warning sirens and the strike.
It is important that we continue to stand for Israel and show her our support. Prayer is a wonderful thing and I am not trying to negate it however, those who can do more need to do so. Christians worldwide needs to show Israel in tangible terms of its support. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni articulated it very well when she made the comment "The world has to understand that it must choose a camp – Israel or the terrorists,"
How can you help? There are many ways that we can show our support here are just a few. Those who have email can send their comments to some of the members of the Knesset. Here you can voice your feelings to those who are in office in Israel.
