Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of the terror attacks that have killed hundreds across Sri Lanka. No one anywhere should be afraid to practice their religion. Police are still investigating and all social media has been blocked temporarily. Eight blasts reported, with three churches, full during Easter services, were targeted. A curfew has been put in place “until further notice”. It remains unclear who carried out the attacks, but reports say 13 people have so far been arrested. http://ow.ly/YFwG50riTD6
“Build a world in which individuals, communities, and institutions have the resilience to navigate today’s crises, withstand tomorrow’s, and live sustainably.”
This is IsraAid’s vision, which came to life in Mozambique as the NGO sent medical and after-disaster teams to be there for the long haul after the horrific cyclone ripped through the country on March 15th, killing more than 700 people and affecting more than 2 million. http://ow.ly/QqQ850p4Kz1
A former South African BDS activist speaks to students about the blatant lies he had learned in South Africa regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He saw the contrasting reality when he visited Israel himself to prove once and for all that it was an apartheid state. The differences were stunning and a truly eye-opening experience for this young student. Since then he has gone on to educate his fellow South Africans about what he witnessed first hand. http://ow.ly/BgEw50oR2iz
