My pal Adam Levick over at CIF Watch has an absolutely superb article on the steps 'racist' Israel took to rescue Ethiopia's Jews and provides the answer to exactly why Israel must be recognized as a Jewish State.
Adam recounts how Israel rescued thousands of Ethiopian Jews and secretly airlifted them to Israel. No other country would have done so, and without Israel they would have perished, just as millions of Jews did in the Holocaust because so few places - including the United States - were willing to take them in. Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel once wrote that to him, the most sacred spot in Israel wasn't the Kotel but the small booth at Ben Gurion Airport that held a Jewish customs officer inside stamping entry visas.
Far from a racist nation, Israel is incredibly diverse as Jews from all over the world make their lives there. Anyone who's been there can tell you that.
Israel as a Jewish state is not only simple justice..it's a necessity. The kids above, by the way, live in Sderot.
Praise God.
