The possibility that a Jewish girl who believes in Jesus will win this year’s international youth Bible competition in Israel has prompted a brouhaha in the Jewish state.
Maria Amin, 6, was paralyzed two years ago in an Israeli airstrike against an Islamic Jihad terrorist. Cared for in an Israeli hospital at the Israeli government’s expense, the girl and her father want to stay under the care of the Jewish state.
As governments, Jewish groups and Israeli embassies prepare to celebrate Israel’s 60th birthday in Europe, a concomitant push is on among critics of Israel to demonstrate their viewpoints on the Jewish state.
