What Does Real Peace Between Israelis And Arabs Look Like


By Chaim Goldberg

If you ask anyone what the most difficult issue in the world to solve is, they will tell you it's peace between Israel and the Palestinians. "It's impossible," the pundits and politicians will tell you. "It will require a complicated system of military and political solutions" the 'experts' will say.

But, I tell you I've seen it with my own eyes and it required no such things. I have seen Israelis and Palestinians repent to one another, forgive one another, embrace one another, pray for one another, weep with one another, and become the closest of friends. I myself have spent time with the former personal driver of Yasser Arafat, who himself is now an on-fire believer in Yeshua. We have eaten together, prayed together and laughed together.

Yes, it is not only possible, it is happening. But not in the Prime Minister's residence or the White House. No, it is happening amongst the believers in Yeshua. The Palestinian Christians and the Messianic Jews. Those who are united in the Holy Spirit and whose very lives have been surrendered to the one true God. They are living in friendship and peace. And so they are the model for the rest of their people.

Earlier this month, at a conference called 'Elav' which means 'To Him' hundreds of Messianic Jewish and Palestinian Christian young people came together and built a human bridge of peace and prayer and reconciliation and our Maoz cameras were there to capture it all. I pray this video inspires you as much as it does me.
