Today is the 2nd anniversary of the October 7th Massacre.
This attack shocked the world, causing so much pain and suffering.
Heavy thoughts, painful memories, and an appeal for hope are what's on my heart and mind.
On July 27, 2024 a Hezbollah rocket attack killed 12 children in Majdal Shams, Israel.
To memorialize the 12 angels lost in that attack, One Free World International, Bridges For Peace, and Blue Flame 47 have come together to support the mourning Druze community to build a memorial garden at Al-Manahil School in Majdal Shams.
The One Free World International team is back in the Middle East this week to support the Christian and Druze people under attack in Syria.
Over the summer Rev. El Shafie rang the alarm, calling for action to protect them.
The world breathed a collective sigh of relief when news broke that Syria’s brutal fourteen-year civil war was over. The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship felt like the long-awaited dawn after a dark and bloody night. Yet, our new report reveals, this new day is perilous, especially for the ancient religious and ethnic minorities who call Syria home. While the new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, presents a moderate face to the West, the facts on the ground tell a story of escalating violence and fear. This is not a time for naive optimism, but for principled action and determined hope.
What we witnessed in the last year is that we see many countries and many governments focusing on weapons and military aid to Ukraine. It's something that is definitely needed so Ukraine can defend itself from this unjust war, but when we are looking at the civilians, the civilians cannot eat a gun, babies cannot eat a bullet.
