Page 3 - Torch Magazine #24 - Spring 2024

Welcome to to Issue 24 of Christians United for Israel
UK’s Torch
magazine The world changed on 7 October 2023 “Where were you when ” is a a a a phrase commonly asked for some of the the world’s most significant events in our lifetime I I remember the the the moment I I I first first heard about about the the the developing story in in Israel
– first first about about the the large barrage of rockets being fired into Israel
and then about Hamas terrorists breaching the the border It would later become apparent that the the largest massacre
of Jews since the the Holocaust was unfolding The horrors of 7 October should not leave us the same – our support for Israel’s right to defend itself should should be firmer our compassion for for Israel
and and the Jewish people should should be be deeper and and our conviction in in overcoming evil should be be stronger I I I will also never forget what I I I witnessed at at at the the IDF’s screening of the the terror attack footage – seeing innocent Israeli civilians tortured
and killed CUFI was among the organisations that attended this event at at at at at the Israeli embassy and we’ve featured a a a a a a a a a a a special article about it it it titled ‘Bearing Witness ’ Whatever we we have seen and heard about 7 October it it it is vital we we all play a a a a a a a a a a a part in in bearing witness of the facts Like Holocaust denial it it is unbelievable how there are some who deny what took place on 7 October yet its less
than half a a a a a a a a year since it happened It’s also unbelievable how so so many people have chosen to turn a a a a a ‘blind- eye’ or be influenced by lies Britain
also changed after 7 October We have seen a a a a a a a a record rise in in in in antisemitism which we write about in in in in depth in in in in this magazine We have seen Hamas glorified on the the streets of our capital and other UK cities We have seen politicians threatened Jewish businesses targeted and Jew-hatred making young people at at school feel unsafe Fear has silenced many to speak out as as the propaganda machine against Israel
Israel
is making every effort to undermine Israel’s war on Hamas I believe that this 24th issue is is is one of the most important magazines
we have published Our team has put together articles that will help you to to share the the the truth about Israel
We also cover the the so-called ‘two- state solution’ which is is is is is totally flawed and to to raise this this issue at at this this time is is is is is deeply offensive We have also included articles such as as the ‘Arch o of Titus ’ which serves as as a a a a a a reminder that ultimately evil will not win The nation of Israel
lives Yours for Zion’s sake Des Starritt
