Israel helping those in need

Speaking of humanitarian aid to others, Israel opened it border to allow the hundred of Palestinians who have been camped out there for six day in poor health conditions.

In a rare move on Wednesday, Israel's new defense minister ordered the army to allow into Israel any of the hundreds of Gazans holed up at a fetid crossing who might desperately need medical treatment.

This is taking place at the same time that Israeli fighter jets are hitting Palestinian rocket launchers in northern Gaza in the first Israeli airstrike since Hamas militants seized control of the coastal strip last week, the army said.

This shows the compassion Israel has for human beings, even though they may have been fighting some of these same men over the years, they are providing needed medical treatment.

  1. Good post, Ranter.

    Here's a question for everyone:

    If Israelis were (God forbid) forced to flee Israel, and sought shelter in the PA, would they be let in?

    I think we all know the answer...
