Why Not Save Christians?

The Yom Kippur liturgy, just followed in synagogues around the world, repeats several times references to God as one who rescues captives. The central daily Jewish prayer as well refers to God who â??supports the fallen, heals the sick, sets captives free.â? And throughout Jewish history, the redemption of captives has been considered an important commandment. This is the background to the repeated decisions by the state of Israel to free a hundred or a thousand Arab prisoners in exchange for one single captive Jew. It is also the background to Israelâ??s actions to rescue the entire Ethiopian and Yemeni Jewish communities by bringing them to Israel.
