On August 24, Stefan Abrahamsson and 40 activists will depart from Gothenberg, Sweden for an incredible journey to Herzliya, Israel. The “Solidarity Sail” as its been nicknamed, was influenced by their strong support for Israel, Jews and Mid-East Christians. 

A similar effort to reach Israel by sea was recently attempted by pro-Hamas Swedes who were headed for Gaza (and up to no good, of course!). Thankfully, they were deported before anything terrible could occur, but it portrayed Sweden in a very negative light. The “Solidarity Sail” will combat that in a most wonderful way.

I am so excited to hear about the sail and support their efforts. I love my friends in the Christian Zionist community. They truly care about Israel and want to help. Also, I’m glad that they’re bringing attention to the persecution of Christians in the Mid-East. As someone who believes in religious expression and religious freedom, the rights of Christians to freely worship needs to be addressed and protected, always. 

With Israel under rocket attack right this minute from terrorists, we need all the support we can get from around the world. Good people who care about Israel’s future need to speak up and if they’re able, visit in person. Nothing combats hate like love and the outpouring of love from the Swedish group is a Godsend.
