Diaspora Jews Express Support for the IDF Soldiers
30.12.2008
While Muslim countries condemn Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, Russian-speaking Jews from abroad express readiness to assist in the "war for survival."
We, the Jewish diaspora, do not remain indifferent to the courageous struggle of Israeli Jews for welfare and security in the Promised Land. You are fighting not just a cruel enemy, but an enemy for whom the lives of their compatriots is worthless. The Kassams launched by Islamic bandit-militants1 hit both Jewish and Arab settlements, causing damage and death to all indiscriminately. You are well aware that the true Hamas leaders are hiding in headquarters in Syria, Egypt and other countries distant from the Gaza Strip.
They do not suffer themselves, and see other people's sufferings only from the TV screens and the reports of their subordinates. We know as well as you do that we did not start this war, but only the brave Jewish soldiers have the right and possibility to stop it. Arab extremists, brainwashed by a cruel and misanthropic version of Islam, are unwilling to accept that Eretz-Israel has been a Jewish land since ancient times and forever. The Jews have survived in this land against the hordes of various invaders – the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Mameluke, Crusaders, Turks, Britons, the Arabs once more - and yet, have stood fast in the unequal struggle for independence and their Jewish State.
Our enemy is more powerful today than ever before - and his plans include the spread of the Caliphate and Islamic rule from sea to sea, and even across the entire world. Unfortunately, so far their expansion has been very successful - the example of Europe, which is being captured by Muslims from inside, providing almost no resistance, is striking proof.
This war is not just Israel's war with Arab terrorists. This is a war for survival among several civilizations, and Israel is the main military outpost of this struggle. Israel is supported, both diplomatically and financially, by its loyal friend, the USA, a country where international, timeless values have won, the values that were originally given to the whole world via the ethical precepts of Judaism, the country, where even the banknotes say "In God We Trust".
But not the U.S., but only Israel has a real opportunity to fight and win in the savage battle with the advancing8 hordes, only Israel is in the midst of this struggle, only Israel understands what is at stake in this fight. What was here, in Eretz-Israel, until the return of Jews at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries? Black swamps, eroded land, cut down forests, no birds or animals - everything was destroyed, littered, abandoned and desecrated.
Buying this very land by pieces, your grandfathers and fathers have rekindled its life, regrown forests, erected gardens and parks, built beautiful cities, institutes and factories. And all this was done with the blood and sweat of your grandparents and parents. And you're not just fighting for your lives and the lives of your fellow citizens, not just for the safety of Israeli cities, you are fighting for life itself, so that the people could continue to create and live, rather than vegetate in the midst of abandoned ruins.
Israel is a country that in 60 years has surprisingly turned from being literally nothing into a beautiful little corner of paradise. Tanah says that Eretz-Israel is a land of milk and honey. So do not allow the militant, cruel Islam and its conductors, terrorists and murderers, to desecrate and destroy the millennial efforts of the Jewish people. Not an inch of land should be given, all the more because history has proven - the more we give in, the more terror we get!
Unfortunately, Russia as a state, contaminated with an imperial spirit in combination with anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism, has always been among the enemies of the Jews and Israel, but we, the ordinary Jews, who for various reasons still live in the galute, are always with you, the valiant Jewish warriors, with our thoughts and feelings, and if need be – with actions.
