These people have to be very brave to be moving to Israel just now. However, it might be safer in Israel for the French Jews since the barbarians are protesting in the streets there.

Nefesh B’Nefesh flight set for Tuesday with Americans, Canadians

BY STUART WINER July 20, 2014

Over 200 new immigrants are expected to arrive in Israel later this week, undeterred by the prospect of beginning a new life in a country under rocket attack.

A special chartered flight by the Nefesh B’Nefesh organization is scheduled to land at Ben Gurion Airport Tuesday with 228 immigrants from the US and Canada, 100 of whom are children.

For some of the new arrivals, there was no question of turning back, despite the relentless rocket fire from the Gaza Strip on southern and central Israeli towns and cities since the start of the Israel Defense Force’s Operation Protective Edge on July 8.

Israel launched the military campaign to try to stem the insistent rocket fire by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza.

“Cancelling or postponing our trip was never an option,” said Sarah Bergman, 31 of Waterbury, Connecticut, who will be moving with her husband, Fred, 34 and children Eliyahu, 10; Zev, 8; Azriel, 6; and Elisheva, 2. “Even though we’re flying into a war zone, we’re just as excited as we always were.”
