Last year in an average week in Israel,
9 people were killed in road accidents,
1 Israeli was murdered by terrorists,
and over 950 babies were killed by abortion.
Female soldiers in the army are told that they are allowed three free abortions during their military service. Israel has no cut-off date for late-term abortions and they are common.

Shows us where the true battle should be fought… Thanks for the eye-opener.

Wow, this makes me angry and sad. It’s easy for me to think of Israel as occupying the moral high ground in the region, but it seems as though they have the same problem we have in America: Right is often defined as what is in the nation’s best interests.
The moral discrepancies even in “good” nations remind me that “we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.” (2 Peter 3:13). We won’t truly be home until then.
While we were there last fall, we met a couple who were there as a part of the Israeli pro-life association, I think, so I’m not sure if that gives you any clues. They were there as guest speakers from the states. It is so sad and is evidence of our extreme selfishness. The Lord has been overwhelmingly gracious to us in saving us. Thanks for making us aware.
That is so sad. That certainly gives perspective to this so-calleld Western, moral society. Even the best of societies can be exceedingly brutal.
