Many people have asked me what it is that motivates and moves me and why I feel so strongly about the issue of Yazidi refugee sponsorship—why I believe the Jewish community must be focusing on Yazidi sponsorship exclusively.

And the world is ignoring it, much like the world ignored what was happening to the Jews during the Shoah—this despite the fact that we are living in an era that allows us to receive photos and news and pleas for help every day.
