The Bible clearly tells us that the holy resting place of Rachel our matriarch is in the city of Bethlehem, which is the Land of Judah. This region is referred to by the media as the West Bank, implying the “west bank of the Jordan river” which cleverly undermines the Jewish connection to the area. For this reason, when Menachem Begin became prime minister, he insisted that journalists refer to it by its Biblical name, Judea and Samaria.
And Rachel died, and she was buried on the road to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. And Jacob erected a monument on her grave; that is the tombstone of Rachel until this day.
GENESIS (35:19, 20)
וַתָּמָת רָחֵל וַתִּקָּבֵר בְּדֶרֶךְ אֶפְרָתָה הִוא בֵּית לָחֶם וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה עַל קְבֻרָתָהּ הִוא מַצֶּבֶת קְבֻרַת רָחֵל עַד הַיּוֹם
בראשית לה: יט,כ

Jews, Christians Unite in Defense of Judea and Samaria [VIDEO] By
“Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’” (Ezekiel 11:17)
As part of their mission to enable Christians to connect with Jewish communities in the heart of Biblical Israel, CFOIC is offering a free informational booklet filled with graphs, charts, pictures, and facts containing the truth about Israel and the Judea and Samaria region. The booklet charts Judea and Samaria’s Biblical history and provides a nine-step plan to make sure the region is kept safe and a part of the State of Israel. CFOIC is taking it upon themselves to teach the world why it is fundamental for Israel to be in control of Judea and Samaria, the Biblical heartland of the Jewish state. Judea and Samaria represents democracy and the fight against terrorism. For the security and safety of not only Israel, but the entire free world, it is vital for Judea and Samaria to remain under the control of the only true democracy in the Middle East. Official control of Judea and Samaria was turned back over to Israel after the 1967 war as part of a fulfillment of prophecy as stated in Amos 9:14-15:
“‘I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,’ says the Lord your God.”
The Jewish people were provided with national rights to Judea and Samaria by a League of Nations Mandate, which later was transferred to the UN Charter, under Article 80, as the infamous “Palestine Clause”. Since the exile of the Jewish people from their indigenous land almost 2,000 years ago, Judea and Samaria have remained occupied and colonized outposts by people other than that to whom it once belonged. Israel is surrounded by a sea of enemies looking to destroy it and is being attacked from all home-fronts. Judea and Samaria have become key components in Israel’s fight against terrorism and radical Islam.
The CFOIC is lead by Sondra Oster Baras. Baras was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio in an Orthodox Jewish home. In 1984, Sondra moved to Israel with her family and in 1985, the Baras’ joined a group of North American Jews in building the a new Jewish community in Samaria, known today as Neve Aliza. Throughout the First Intifada, Baras acted as an active spokesperson for the communities of Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Working closely with CFOIC Heartland, Baras opened the organizations first Israel office in an effort to enhance Christian support of Judea and Samaria. “I discovered that Christian Zionists are a very important pro-Israel group. It has been an amazing experience working with such passionate people,” Baras told Breaking Israel News. CFOIC is the only Christian organization to focus exclusively on the communities in the heartland of Biblical Israel. CFOIC raises funds for the Judea and Samaria communities and encourages tourism to biblical sites in these areas as well. The organization has become a treasured resource in Israel for connecting Christians to the people of Biblical Israel.

Baras explained that today, Israel is under attack in so many different ways. Through her organization, Baras is joining the fight in defending Israel and is calling on others around the world to educate themselves on the true facts. “Today Israel finds itself at the center of an unprecedented campaign of delegitimization and BDS coming from the four corners of the earth. While I believe that these campaigns are expressions of classic anti-Semitism, the excuse that they use is the settlement movement – the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria,” she said. “They challenge Israel’s historical, biblical and legal claim to this area and use that as a foundation to drive attacks against Israel as a whole. Our map booklet and our Judea and Samaria book are key tools in educating the public, giving them the facts that they need to combat these lies and hateful attacks. For anyone who is interested in understanding the conflict, and particularly for anyone who would like to help us in our pro-Israel campaigns – these tools are an absolute must!
