From Hatred to Wholeness

I just returned from a very special time in Holland, and my heart is full. God opened doors for me to speak in many places, in schools, churches, homes, and gatherings, and I felt His presence every step of the way.

One of the most touching moments was meeting the children in school. They asked honest questions about Israel, the IDF, the children in Gaza, and the people living in Israel. It was not easy to answer. Because war is never simple. It always brings pain. It always brings loss. It always takes the lives of innocent people.

I told them the truth. There is no human solution to war and hatred. Only the Messiah can heal what is broken. Only the Creator can take division and turn it into peace. No politician, no nation, no human plan can do what only God can do.

And I know this because I lived it.

My Story: Arab, Jew, Soldier, Addict, Forgiven

In every place I visited in Holland, I had the chance to share my story. My life has never been simple. I lived the conflict of Israel in my own body and soul. I grew up as an Arab Palestinian and later discovered that I am also Jewish. When I was in the army, I began to hate Arabs. I carried hatred toward others and then hatred toward myself. I was filled with bitterness. I hated God.

For thirty years I used drugs. I was spiritually dead and physically sick. I had no peace, no direction, and no hope.

But one day I met Yeshua.

He found me when I had nothing left. He saved me. He gave me a new life and a new identity. Today I do not believe what people say about me. I believe what God says about me. That I am His child, forgiven, loved, and made new. I am no longer bound by my past or my pain. I am a new creation in Him.

Peace Is Not a Policy. It Is a Person.

During my trip many people asked me what is the solution for the conflict between Israel and Gaza. My answer was simple and true. There is no solution without Yeshua.

No government, no peace agreement, no organization can bring peace unless the Prince of Peace lives in the hearts of Arabs and Jews together. He is the only one who can make us one. He did it for me, and He can do it for anyone.

I also said that no one in the world can remove the Jewish people from their land. God Himself brought them back. Whoever fights that plan is fighting against God. And no one can win against God. The only wise choice is to be at peace with Israel and at peace with Him.

Gratitude for the People Who Welcomed Me

I want to thank Janneke, Johannes, Janoa, and Sharon for their beautiful hospitality. Their home was filled with prayer, love, and encouragement. I truly felt part of their family.

I also want to thank Arie and his family. I spent a wonderful day with them. Arie and I talked deeply about the end times and the coming of Yeshua. I learned so much from our conversation and left with new understanding.

And to my brother Ben and his family, thank you for two amazing days. I spoke at your congregation, shared my testimony, and we talked about the truth of God and Israel. It was a great blessing to me.

To all the churches that welcomed me in Holland, thank you. It was a joy to talk about God and to share that there can be no peace, not only for Arabs and Jews, but for the entire world, without Yeshua.

Let Us Stop Living the Lie

I said this many times during my trip. There is no true peace anywhere in the world without Yeshua. The media lies. Governments lie. They fill the world with confusion, division, and fear. But the truth is in the Gospel. The truth is a person, and His name is Yeshua.

Let us not live blind to what is happening. Let us not let the world teach our children to hate.

A Call for Families and Churches

I want to end with this. I beg every family, every church, and every community to teach your children the truth. They are our future. Teach them to love. Teach them to forgive. Spend time with them. Show them what is real. There is no future without our children.

I spent many years hating. Hatred destroyed my soul. Today I am alive because of the truth, because of Yeshua, who saved me and gave me freedom and peace.

Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support. May we all be ready for His coming.
