This might seem like a stupid post, but honestly, the arab population in Israel is growing, and the Jewish population declining.

Something that can be done for Israel? If you are Jewish, consider making Aliyah, getting married, and having lots of Jewish babies.

In many ways, I agree with you GeratTzedek. Making aliyah is important to the continued strength of Israel!

For this reason I ardently support the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. For years they have been helping Jews from around the world make aliyah. One example is their instrumental role in the mass aliyot of the Ethiopian Jews. Not only that, they have provided huge support to the poor in Isreal.

International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has a fantastic program to support orphans, widows, and the poor within Israel. I've been to Israel and have seen their work directly. They are the largest provider of social programs next to the Government of Israel. It's worth taking a look at them.

However they contribute to organizations that greatly oppose Messianic Jews. They want the Christian money.

Their money is filtered through grants into the Ministry of Interior who is hotly opposed to Messianic Jews. The Ministry of Interior supports yad l'achim.
Here's an excerpt from Rabbi Eckstein's book Rabbi Eckstein’s book, What Christians Should Know About Jews and Judaism from the section titled The Question of Messianic Jews (pgs. 294 - 299):

“Hebrew Christians also insist that they constitute the only truly fulfilled Jews and that far from abandoning their Judaism, they are really completing it. In fact, by sprinkling their Christian lives of faith with Jewish customs and rituals taken out of their proper, historic context, they pervert Jewish symbols and make a mockery of the Jewish faith...From a Jewish standpoint however, one can be part of only one historic faith community - either Christian or Jewish - and Hebrew Christian represents neither... A Jew who accepts Jesus as Lord or Messiah effectively ceases to be a Jew. He is viewed almost treasonously as having abandoned his faith, given up his Jewish heritage, and severed all links with the Jewish peoplehood. He is like a defector who walked out on God and his family.” (pg. 295-296)

That's a standard Jewish belief; he's not saying anything new.
How do we know that the money is distributed through the Interior Ministry into groups that oppose Messianics?
If they want "Christian money" that sounds like a stupid thing to do.

I don't see why not!

Well alright! Toda!

Support the State of Israel wearing a Zionist Scarf

The Jewish version of a keffiyeh/scarf is the fact that a traditional Arab head wear has become not only a symbol of injustice, but a fashion statement. In New York city one can not go anywhere with out seeing people on the street wearing them, they ranging from different ethnicity, color and background. The first thing that came to mind was:

Do they know what they are wearing?
Are they making a statement?
If so what is it? Or are they simply following fashion trends?

It is my sincere hope that this scarf would serve as a symbol of Jewish pride, unity of purpose, galvanizing Jews from different backgrounds and perhaps become as an iconic symbol of our future!!

The Israeli Keffiyeh, with its intricate Star of David pattern in the center piece, and words AM ISRAEL CHAI (Jewish People Live) in Hebrew weaved into its fabric, this scarf illustrates a divine promise that the Jewish people are eternal.
