EZRA LEVANT REBEL COMMANDER EZRA LEVANT
Christians are being ethnically cleansed throughout the Muslim world. Yet, that gets a tiny fraction of the media attention, and none of the political attention.
I’m in Northern Iraq right now, to see the Christian refugees, ancient Christians called Chaldean Christians, who still pray in Aramaic, the language of Jesus himself. They’ve fled Muslim terrorists who kill Christian men and rape Christian women and girls as young as nine years old.
These Christian refugees can’t go to the United Nations refugee camps. Because those refugee camps are dominated by Muslim radicals who attack Christians. So the most vulnerable people never get help. And it’s why Syrian refugees to the west are overwhelmingly Muslim — they’re being chosen from these Muslim camps.
I want to do something about this. Here’s my plan.
1. World-class journalism
I’m bringing a team of journalists with me to Iraq. Faith Goldy, the outstanding investigative journalist, passionate Christian. And three videographers. We’re going to tell the story that hasn’t properly been told yet: the deliberate ethnic cleansing of the oldest Christian community in the world, in the Biblical land of Nineveh.
We’ll provide updates from our trip. But we also want to make a documentary film, of a quality that we could distribute through a major network. To wake people up. To raise the alarm.
2. Christian-focused humanitarianism
It’s heartbreaking what’s happening in Iraq. So we’re not just going there on a journalistic mission, we’re also going on a humanitarian mission. I want to see for ourselves who is making the biggest difference on the ground, and then I want to raise a million dollars for them.
We’re going to do this by crowdfunding, through two separate bank accounts. Will you please help us?
Journalism: The first crowdfunded project is journalism, including our documentary film. We need to pay for our plane tickets, accommodation, our camera equipment, our own meals on the ground. The total cost to produce the documentary will be about $25,000. That’s not humanitarian aid — that’s to make the journalism, to make the documentary.
Humanitarianism: The other bank account is completely for the Christian refugees. We’re putting it on a transparent website, so you can see every penny that goes in, and we’ll show you every penny that goes out. Other than a small website processing fee, 100% of all donations there will go to the Christian refugees.
If you can, please contribute both to our journalism fund and to the humanitarian fund. We need money for both. But if you can only donate to one, please give to the humanitarian fund.
I’m going to try to save the Christians the best I can, with the tools I have — a passionate camera crew, and a promise to give 100% of our crowdfunded humanitarian relief to the people who need it the most.
You can watch all the footage from our trip below.
