Israelis Helping Palestinians- Yes It Does Happen!

The anti-Israeli factions in the world love to demonize the Israeli people, depicting them only as murderers and child killers, conveniently leaving out the good.

There's a wonderful Israeli-based organization called SAVE A CHILD'S HEART, whose sole mission is

"to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from developing countries who suffer from heart disease and to create centers of competence in these countries. SACH is totally dedicated to the idea that every child deserves the best medical treatment available, regardless of the child's nationality, religion, color, gender or financial situation."

SACH is motivated by the age-old Jewish tradition of Tikkun Olam – repairing the world. By mending the hearts of children, regardless of their origin, SACH is contributing to a better and more peaceful future for all of our children.

The video below shows Israeli and Palestinian doctors coming together to save a Palestinian baby's life:

If the Israelis were as heartless as some would like to portray them, they would never offer humanitarian aid (in the form of emergency health care) to Palestinians. They would simply refuse to treat them. Since the beginning of the current battle against Hamas, Israeli doctors have treated at least 12 Palestinians too wounded for Gazan hospitals to help. Rather than being flown to neighbouring Arab hospitals, they were sent to Tel Aviv.

Many Jewish charities around the world raise hundreds of millions of

dollars annually to operate hospitals where all are treated, Jew or Palestinian, for free.

Then there are the Israelis with long standing ties to Palestinians, who have gone out of their way to help their friends in times of need.

Dudi Doron, a resident of Kibbutz Kfar Azza

"...used to employ more than a dozen Palestinians from Gaza.

But gradually, the economic links have been reduced. After Israel dismantled settlements and army bases in Gaza, it stopped giving entry permits, save for Gazans in need of medical treatment. When Hamas took control of Gaza, Israel reduced the operations of commercial crossings, allowing in only humanitarian aid.

"Now they're living off of flour and olives," says Dudi Doron, a Kfar Azza resident who keeps in regular contact with Mohammed, a laborer from the Gaza city of Khan Younis who worked on the kibbutz for 20 years but now is unemployed.

Though Mohammed calls from an Israeli cellphone given to him by Mr. Doron, the Khan Younis resident is hard to reach because of patchy networks.

About three months ago, Doron wired 4,000 shekels ($1,080) to a Gaza bank to help Mohammed's family make ends meet. But Doron still supports Israel's policy of stopping fuel supplies."

It's time for people to see the other side of the story.
