Franklin Graham Travels to Israel to Help with Relief After October Massacre
Samaritan's Purse ^ | November 15, 2023

Israel is a nation in trauma.

Shockwaves reverberated throughout the world when Hamas attacked civilian communities in southern Israel on Oct. 7, slaughtering people of all ages and taking more than 200 hostages. Entire villages now lie empty as the survivors have been forced to flee their homes. With the growing threat of violence in the north, many more have fled. Hundreds of thousands of people are now internally displaced, having lost everything.

One kibbutz that is now abandoned is Be’eri. Hamas terrorists breached the “Iron Wall” fence that separates Israel and Gaza, and overran the small agricultural neighborhood at dawn on Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. They went door to door and shot residents in their homes and also on the street. They torched houses with Molotov cocktails, trapping families inside. At least 130 men, women, and children were murdered here; 10 percent of the population. Twenty-six were taken hostage.

I win the money in my family. They all bet against me when I said Franklin wouldn’t be able to pass up an opportunity like this.

I know. I’ve sent them money. I get regular mailings from them. This one looks like a photo op. Not good optics, imho.

Thank God for True Christian organizations that are led by the Spirit of God.

It’s a shame that there are some “churches” out there falsely carrying the banner of Christianity, but inwardly are anti Semitic.

Matthew 7:15
King James Version
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

It’s not a photo op when they are helping the recently homeless and family members of those who were murdered by cowards in a sneak attack on unarmed unsuspecting civilians, babies, elderly etc. They are there helping those in need- he didn’t show up just to have his picture taken for self promotion. He puts his money time and efforts where his mouth is. There is also,nothing wrong with going to places where ministers are to encourage them to keep going strong- Paul and other disciples did this regularly to,encourage the early church.

Celebrities and congresscritters supporting hamas and demanding that Israel stop defending herself agaisnt terrorists deserve our condemnation, not Graham

Samaritan’s Purse is doing the Lord’s work.

This is my “go to” donation charity.
