How do Jews help people who are suffering?

Answer 1

By shutting down the Palestinian concentration camps in Israel and re-establishing pre-1967 borders.

Response t

o the first point:

-- There are no Palestinian concentration camps in Israel. Palestinians living in
Israel have full Israeli citizenship if they want it, but with no military obligation.
They're free to reside there if they so desire, to own land, homes, and businesses,
to attend school, to receive medical care, to vote, to stand for election to office,
and to worship as they please. If life in Israel on that basis doesn't appeal to them,
then they're free to leave at any time, and migrate with their families to live among
their brothers in any of the countries that surround Israel. Israel is one of those
peculiar countries in the world that must build walls - not to keep their own people in
but to keep attackers out.

To the second point:

-- Israel has conquered the Sinai Peninsula during armed conflict, and returned it
to Egypt as part of a peace treaty.

-- Israel has conquered the Gaza strip in armed conflict, and turned it over to the
Palestinian Authority, in a gesture towards peace.

-- Israel has conquered southern Lebanon in armed conflict, and returned it to
Lebanon in return for the UN's agreement to monitor the peace in the north.

-- Israel has conquered the Golan Heights and the West Bank during armed conflict.
The countries bordering those areas maintain a state of war with Israel and vow
its destruction. Under those circumstances, to relinquish control over those areas
would be Israel's suicide. Though that might suit the first contributor just fine, the
truth is more as President Obama stated recently, that "Israel isn't going anywhere".
Until that can be guaranteed without the economic and emotional drag on Israel's
resources of maintaining control over the Golan and West Bank, there is no sane
incentive to hand them over to authorities sworn to Israel's destruction.

Further comment in support of the first statement

Israel continues to build illegal settlements in direct violation of UN law.

The International Court of Justice also concurs that these settlements are in violation of Geneva Convention Law.

Israel claims that it isn’t bound by UN law, unless of course, it works in its favor.

No foreign country, including the US, supports these settlements.

Ironically, while Israel seems oblivious to the UN and its decrees, it was vehemently opposed to the UN’s recognition of the Palestinian State.

While Obama may have recently said that Israel isn’t going anywhere, he also stated that there will be a Palestinian state.

Answer 2

Your question is far too general to be answered. How do Christians give back to the community? It's all up to individual efforts, not the religion as a whole.
