Judea/Samaria is vital for Israel's future
Israel National News - Arutz Sheva spoke to Jack J. Gindi, CEO of American Friends of Judea and Samaria (AFJS) at the Knesset today (Friday), where members of the group met MKs, telling them about the importance of continued building of Jewish communities and strengthening of Jewish heritage in Israel's heartland.Absolutely. And that's exactly why the PLO/Hamas and all other terrorist organizations operating in the areas must be brought down too. We can't put up with jihadist invaders being allowed a foothold there anymore, since they're hurting the Arabic communities they tragically have a grip on too.
"We try to teach American Jews about the importance of Judea and Samaria, its history, its people, and its diversity" says Gindi. "Driving down the roads of this region and seeing Arabs and Jews working together is the most beautiful thing and yet none of this ever makes the front pages of the New York Times or CNN and what we're doing is educating people [on a] grassroots level," he continues.
"As an Orthodox Jew who learned the Bible starting with kindergarten, I understand the Biblical importance of the cities and their names," says Gindi when asked about the importance of Judea and Samaria to the Jewish people. "We also understand that strategically, Israel needs these lands for many reasons," he adds.
