From The Jerusalem Post:

Arina Forys, 12 years old, is a modern day refugee. She left Kyiv with her parents and brother with no clothes except for what she is currently wearing. The rest she left behind. However, Arina has one thing that has possibly saved her life: she is Jewish.

The Forys family finally reached a hotel in Warsaw over the weekend after close to a week of avoiding shelling, shooting and huge traffic jams outside the Polish border.

Yet the Forys are in a different situation than most of their neighbors in Kyiv: The Jewish people and the Israeli government have their back. The family is staying in a beautiful prepaid hotel room. They are given three meals a day, and will be immigrating to Israel on Wednesday. 

When they arrive in Israel, they’ll be able to stay in a hotel for at least a month, all paid for by the Israeli government. A Jewish Agency emissary is now helping them with anything they need. He’s an amazing individual who has left the business world and is devoting himself to the Jewish people.

Israel was established almost 74 years ago as a Jewish state, and I could not be more proud of my beautiful country and people after what I have seen during the past week.

Even before we knew that Russian President Vladimir Putin would invade Ukraine and begin a terrible war, Jewish organizations around the world, and the Israeli government, invested countless hours in order to think of all the possible situations that might occur, but also of ways to evacuate and save the lives of tens of thousands of Israelis and Jews.

Less than 100 years have passed since the Holocaust wiped out six million Jews. In the 1930s, being a Jew in Europe was considered being a second-class citizen. In 2022, having Jewish blood can literally save your life.
This is the flip side of Amnesty's and HRW's "apartheid" reports.

Israel is only actively seeking to save Jews. To these "human rights" organizations, that is discrimination. It is bigotry. It is immoral.

To them, it is "apartheid."

But there is a huge difference between favoring people of your tribe/family and discriminating against groups of people. And the Jewish people are family. If you don't understand that, you don't understand anything about Israel or Jews.

Most countries will happily send money towards housing and feeding the Ukrainian refugees, but most of them aren't actively seeking to allow them to immigrate. Only Israel is working this hard to save even some of them. As a tiny country, Israel cannot even think about allowing unlimited numbers of people to move in, but for Jews, it will move heaven and Earth to save them.

This is what Israel is about. This is a major reason Israel exists. In the past, no one gave a damn about Jewish refugees. Now, Jewish refugees not only have a place they can go - they have a place that they are welcome. 

And this is exactly what the moral midgets are Amnesty and HRW are against. Amnesty describes Israel's Law of Return under a section of their "apartheid" report titled “Intent to oppress and dominate the Palestinian people." They take what is beautiful about Israel and tell the world it is ugly. 

Favoring your own tribe is a world apart from oppressing and dominating others. 

To anti-Israel bigots, it is racism against Palestinians. In reality, it is altruism - towards Jews.  Because no one else wants Jews.

Just as no one would expect a family to house random strangers ahead of their own relatives, it is absurd to insist that tiny Israel must treat everyone - including some descendents of those who tried to murder Jews - the same or better than their own people. 

It's a big world out there. Let Christian nations step up and save their co-religionists. Let Muslim nations finally step up and bring in the hundreds of thousands of potential Muslim emigres from Ukraine. (And they can naturalize Palestinians who want to become citizens, too.) Where are the human rights groups demanding a more aggressive immigration policy from huge countries like Brazil?

This is not to say that Israel should never accept non-Jews as refugees or refuse to shelter those who reach it. Those issues should be addressed and policies created. Yet why is there more attention on a tiny nation of immigrants to do more to bring in immigrants than every nation that has more land area?

Insisting that Israel do more than the other nations - knowing full well that this will destroy the Jewish state - is not human rights. It is the opposite. It is a perfect example of how one can openly be bigoted against the Jewish people by accusing them of being bigots themselves.

Israel takes responsibility for Jews around the world - a world that has historically been uncaring about Jews at best, openly hostile towards them at worst. This is the most wonderful thing about Israel. Framing that as immoral is nothing less than spreading the next generation of Jew-hatred.
