The Book of Genesis (32:4-22) describes Jacob’s three-prong strategy as he
prepares to meet his estranged brother, Esau, after many years. Prayer to God, a
peace-offering to Esau, and finally military preparations should all else fail.
Today the Israel Defense Forces continues to follow Jacob’s guidelines, acting
only in operations of self-defense after all options for peace have failed.
Courageous young soldiers are defending and protecting Israel from a frightening
wave of terror. Stand in solidarity with IDF and support the LIBI
Fund.
