He established the “Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children in Iraq” (CYCI) and has raised over $125,000 US dollars in less than one month.The CYCI team includes Jewish, Christian, Agnostic, Yezidi, Kurdish & Muslims. Each team member has his or her separate role. Steve tasks are raising funds and meeting with government leaders such as Canada’s Minister of Defense & parliamentarians, In the last month, the CYCI team has liberated over 35 Yezidis, mostly children with their young mothers. So far, there are still +3500 Yezidis in ISIS captvity.“As Jews, we know what it’s like when the whole world is watching and not doing anything. I’m the child of a nation that has been part of the most devastating genocide. And yes, the world didn’t come in time to help us.Too many Jews died because they reacted too late. This is what prompted me to act immediately. When I saw what happened to the Yezidis and Christians, I decided to not just watch idly. I decided to liberate Christians and Yezidis from the ISIS captivity, as once Oskar Schindler rescued Jews from the Nazis.” He would like to say to the Yezidis: “The Jews will help your people. We will not let you down.”Read More (x) / (x)Woah I know someone in this photo not gonna say who but ya and it’s not Stephen Harper -- source link
