Understanding the situation in Israel today

We need to pray for our friends in Israel today.

Vicious, ungodly terrorism stalks the streets.  Many Jewish Israeli citizens have been stabbed while going about their daily lives.  Some have died from their wounds.  Jews walk in fear, looking nervously behind them.

Here is Ruthie Blum, an Israel-based journalist:

“Since early September, Israelis have been living in a kind of limbo: watching their backs while walking down the street; driving with trepidation; hesitant to ride the buses; afraid to hire young Arabs with sharp tools to do renovations or gardening jobs; jumping to turn on the news with every sound of an ambulance siren or overhead helicopter. Many average people are now carrying pepper spray, tear gas, pocket knives and — those who are licensed — guns.”
