When I heard about this video contest and started thinking of lesser-known aspects of Israel that I wanted to get out there, I thought of all my friends who are soldiers in the IDF and all the horrible lies I’ve seen written about the IDF online. I thought that, no matter your political opinion on Israel, you need to know that Israel has the most moral army in the world, and that I could make a video that showed that. I also thought about the week I spent living in and volunteering at Save A Child’s Heart last year and wanted a way to include that too, so the video became about Israel’s incredible humanitarian aid in different forms. This contest gave me the opportunity to spread my love for Israel's humanitarian aid farther than I ever thought possible, so I'm very happy that I got a chance to participate. Winning the grand prize, especially as a non-professional full-time student who made the video completely on my own, was so incredible that I can't even put it into words!"Rachel's great video shows the diversity of Israel and how it's global presence is one that should be celebrated, not condemned. So, when people are quick to criticize Israel, don't hide in the shadows, show them this video and they might change their tune.
