Despite all of the mainstream news media stories that would attempt to portray Israel as oppressive occupiers, the truth is that they repeatedly show a spirit of forgiveness, humanitarianism and restraint with their "enemies'. A recent story about a mountain climber proves this once again.
Israeli mountain climber Nadav Ben-Yehuda set out to be the youngest Israeli to ever reach the peak of Mount Everest back in May. Just 300 metres from success, personal satisfaction and probably his 5 minutes of fame, he came across a Turkish climber, Aydin Irmak, who lost consciousness while on his way down from the peak. Ben-Yehuda set aside his personal goals and instead took on the role of the good Samaritan. He revived Irmak and and then carried him on his back for 8 hours until he reached their camp. In the process, he nearly lost some fingers to frostbite.
This, along with many other similar stories, are not going to appear on CNN or any other liberal media outlet. It has become uber-fashionable to hate Israel. I pray that this story opens up at least one persons eyes to the truth. The truth is that jews, struggle with sin and the flesh like we all do. They are just as capable of retribution and hatred as anyone and in some cases, do act that way but God's heart and hands are with them so that in spite of being isolated and hated by the world, they, for the most part, continue to show love and mercy. They need our prayer and support. They need the whole truth to be told.
