Urgent Need for Kindergarten Bomb Shelters

(NITZAN, Israel) United with Israel has been notified by local Israeli official Yossi Dahari of the urgent need for kindergarten bomb shelters in Nitzan, a coastal town located near Ashkelon in southern Israel. Children are living in fear of attack and have literally no where to run when the “Code Red” sirens blast. Once again, United with Israel is turning to YOU – our global community of Israel supporters for help.

Nitzan is a community of refugees from the once thriving Jewish communities of Gush Katif (in the Gaza Strip). Nearly 10,000 Jewish residents were forced to abandon their homes during one of the most painful and tragic episodes in Israel’s history, the 2005 Disengagement from Gaza. Instead of leading to peace, the Disengagement led to a sharp increase in rocket attacks into southern Israeli towns.

Global March for Israel Organized by Blacks in South Africa

South Africans will demonstrate in support of Israel this Thursday, June 28. The march has been initiated by non-Jewish Black groups which is very significant, especially in South Africa. Victims of apartheid are coming out in strong support of Israel – and against the anti-Israel boycott movement (BDS).

The march is a response to a recent decision by South Africa’s Department of Trade and Industry that products produced by Israeli companies in Judea and Samaria (Yehuda and Shomron) cannot be labeled as products of Israel.
