USYers:

The past few weeks have not been so great in Israel. Conflict still continues 
between Israel and the Palestinian in addition to worldwide intervention in 
the problem. These past few weeks the United Nations has requested to observe 
Israel closely as they have been accused of committing genocide against the 
Palestinian people. Though Israel had no problem with the UN troops' visit, 
they have been restricted from taking all the actions necessary to ensure the 
safety and survival of the people.

Last week, Palestinians led an uprising upon the Israelis withdrawal in the 
city of Jenin. The responsible immediately met their fate as Israel reinvaded 
the territory. This has been one of many invasions led by the IDF into 
Palestinian territory lately.

We can only hope and support Israel in these hard times, and pray that the 
violence in the Jewish Homeland will end soon.
