Friends of the IDF - FIDF
United States
Приєднався 25 тра 2008
Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) was established in 1981 by a group of Holocaust survivors to provide for education and well-being of the men and women who serve in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as well as the families of fallen soldiers. Headquartered in New York City, FIDF is a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation that operates 15 regional offices in the United States and Panama.
The Israeli government is responsible for training IDF soldiers and providing them with the necessary tools for their service. FIDF is committed to providing these soldiers with love, support, and care in an effort to ease the burden they carry on behalf of the Jewish community worldwide.
Their job is to look after Israel. Ours is to look after them.

FIDF Live Briefing: Dr. Jerry Berkowitz, Hostage & Survivor of 1970 Hijacking - August 4, 2024
FIDF Chief Executive Officer Steve Weil speaks with Dr. Jerry Berkowitz, a hostage and survivor of the 1970 Black September airplane hijacking in which terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hijacked four airliners bound for New York and took 56 Jews as hostages to Jordan. Dr. Berkowitz recounts in great detail his experience being taken hostage with his wife and young daughter, who were soon after separated from him and released, while he and five other men were held in captivity for a month. The two discuss how this hijacking related to the broader geopolitical events of the time, specifically the Black September Uprising, when the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and PFLP tried to overthrow the Jordanian government. Dr. Berkowitz also describes the painful long-term effects of this experience for himself, his wife, and children. Lastly, he offers advice and words of consolation for the families of current Israeli hostages who are being held in Gaza.

Why does the logo of this channel look like a mouse or some other rodent??? Not exactly flattering but still very appropriate.
I LOVE ISRAEL 🎉🎉
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!
I love you izrael. God bless izrael. From Philippines
May God bless and keep you forever and always... Hearing what you are doing is a answer to my prayers for healing for Israel.
Thank you, Jonathan and guest. Very informative and less dramatic as some media. So thank you. Shalom shabbat to you. And Israel. Stay well 🙏
Stay the course, Israel! Your safety in my thoughts, ❤❤❤

I love this smartest people on earth. I wish them well
Proud of you lady combat staffs of israel
We don't care ,,we care Palestine now no we're not interested who makes Palestine suffer..
Shame on you!
Look at yourself in the mirror first before you look at others.
From the river to the sea Palestine 🇵🇸 will be free!
The situation is definitely alarming, the Vatican really planned this out against Israel quite well. If Trumps wins the election, I doubt things will improve. We already hear the "America First" chants. That said, Israel will NEVER be alone. The Lord God will make himself known as the days of old.
You are the WINNERS❤❤❤

Brilliant assessment!!!!!!!!
Congratulations for this success from Germany.
Bravo Israel allwas Iive Israel This radikal Hamas and Hisbollah sind Monster and dangerous for the West👍🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱👍👍
I do not believe it was a long range attack when you see the small damage from the picture that killed hamas leader, they had to know which room he was sleeping ! It could be a drone or rpg attack then.
Thank you for always keeping us informed.
Thank you for the updates.
Unfortunately America is a lion acting like a kitten thanks to jobama and the lefties administration.
