Here is a video entitled "I am Israel" found at Israel Matzav. While Israel would be better served if it did not compromise on itself and its land, the slideshow is a powerful reality check.

Here is a brief video update from an Israeli officer about the work of Israel in the Haiti earthquake catastrophe...

Several news events lately have been clear indicators of how the G-d of Israel continues to bless, and raise the stature of, His people Israel. Last week, there was a telling YNet opinion piece by Sever Plocker discussing Israel's $60 billion trade surplus compared to huge US trade deficits. Mr. Plocker points out that it is somewhat nonsensical for the US to act as though it can use (the threat of pulling) loan guarantees as a weapon against Israel when Israel is actually financing the US deficit. I am reminded of the t-shirts you can buy on the streets of Jerusalem: "Don't worry America, Israel is with you."

Today, the following CNN Video showing Israeli leadership in the Haiti earthquake catastrophe came across Twitter.  Somehow, a nation that could fit three times in the state of Florida and that is at least seven times as far away from Haiti as the United States has managed to fly a fully-equipped field hospital to Port-au-Prince; a seemingly elementary form of assistance that no other nation, including the US, has been able to accomplish. Consider that Israel's GDP is about 1/70 the GDP of the US. To be fair, the US government's assistance represents more than 13% of total world contributions but one can't help identifying with the man in the video who is embarrassed for the US.

Google provides a breakdown of the aid coming into Haiti. Islam, representing over one billion people (or maybe nearly two), has managed to donate $2 million dollars via the nations of Indonesia and Morocco. I did read that the king of Saudi Arabia sent a letter of condolence to the Haitian government.

Christianity, in general, has perverted the Atonement from something that means "justification to life" for all men to something that means condemnation to death for all non-Christians -- in doing so they have obscured Truth instead of proclaiming it.
