Hello Friends,

Human nature at work again. I think Dry Bones hit the nail on the head as usual.

Shalom,

Peter




We humans are a strange and dangerous species. Our missions ofmercy are outnumbered by acts of organized human cruelty, aggression,violence, and war-making. But that, of course, does not make ourmissions of mercy any less noble or important.

RE: HSIG- Tha Haitian Disaster- Israel Field Hospital "The Rolls Royce" Of Medic
1/20/2010 11:50:03 AM
Hello Friends,

I've been a bit lackadaisical about posting in this thread lately and I do apologize for that. It's been for a combination of reasons but that's over and done with.

With the recent catastrophe in Haiti and the terrible devastation of that small country a few interesting things came to light.

The first being the intensive help from many countries and I must specifically address the help from Israel but more about that later.

The second the total lack of interest and assistance from any Muslim country. The interesting thing is that when some of those countries were hit badly in the past they received help and assistance from the world but fail to reciprocate in kind when others are affected. I find it hard to understand this lack of feelings for others but possibly it could be that the countries are infidel countries and don't deserve the help of true believers. Just a thought but deserves some attention.

Back to Israel. Taking into account the fact that Israel is a small country I am very proud of her efforts and assistance to the Haitian people.

You'll find much information about the field hospital, dog units with their handlers and much more in the below articles and videos.

Shalom,

Peter


INTERNATIONAL AID TO HAITI: ARABS OPT OUT

This CBS / Associated Press report lists countries providing aid toHaiti in the wake of that country’s devastating earthquake. Conspicuousby its absence is the entire Muslim world, including the extremely richoil producing nations.

www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/01/14/world/main6097735.shtml

However, Arab countries do not discriminate against non-Muslimcountries. Their help was missing after the earthquakes in Turkey andIran and during war and famine in Muslim Africa too.

ISRAEL’S DISPROPORTIONATE RESPONSE

Because of Israel’s long history of enduring bomb and missileattacks the Israeli army (the IDF) is one of the most experienced inthe world in treating mass-injuries and using specially trained snifferdogs to locate wounded persons in the rubble.

The IDF was one of the first on the scene in Haiti last week(sending considerably more troops and doctors than, for example,Britain and France did). Hundreds, if not thousands of Haitians havealready been treated (and many life-saving surgeries performed) in theIDF Medical and Rescue Field Hospital, set up in a large tent on asoccer field in Port-Au-Prince. In addition, Israeli forces havelocated and rescued survivors trapped in ruined buildings, includingmany who were injured during the collapse of the UN headquarters.

In addition to teams from the IDF’s canine unit, Israel sent 52doctors and 25 nurses as well as paramedics, and has set up a pharmacy,a children’s ward, a radiology department, an intensive care unit, anemergency room, two operating rooms, a surgical department, an internalmedicine department and a maternity ward. Israel has since sent afurther 220 doctors, medics and nurses. Israel also sent a number ofFrench-speaking translators to aid doctors.

Yesterday, a baby boy was delivered inside the Israeli field hospital. The mother of the child said she will call him Israel.

CBS NEWS: THE ISRAELI ARMY HOSPITAL IS THE “ROLLS ROYCE” OF MEDICINE IN HAITI

Here are some positive stories from major international media.

This is perhaps the most positive TV news coverage I have ever seen on Israelis since the advent of cable news.

This is a heart-warming piece here on WABC News (18January): A brother of a resident of Queens, New York, is pulled out ofthe rubble by an Israeli rescue team after four days.

In this piece from Britain’s Sky News, the Israelis rescue a man alive after a very dangerous 8 hours digging in the debris.

This short CNN report piece (18 January) is worth watching:

As is this item from Fox News (17 January):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3yTptugzPI&feature

CBS News (as repeated here on Sky News) (18 January) calls the Israeli IDF hospital the “Rolls Royce” of medicine in Haiti:

And here is a story from ABC News (18 January): Miracle birth amid Haiti's rubble.

And as for the BBC (the world’s biggest news broadcaster)? Instead Panorama,the flagship news program of the BBC’s main channel, BBC1, this eveningagain devoted the entire program to another piece of anti-Israeliagitprop.

RE: HSIG- Scott Brown's Win The "Writing On The Wall" For The Dems
1/22/2010 4:00:32 AM
Hello Friends,

Scott Brown's win in Mass. should be an indication to the Democrats and the Obowma regime that the people aren't happy with their socialist agendas and want no part of them. Will it cause them to adapt and make the necessary changes? I personally doubt it and we'll see more of the same in the months to come with one major difference they've lost their super majority.

It's takes intelligent people to see the writing on the wall and learn from their mistakes. Obviously the progressives lack that basic intelligence and they will fail big time and won't see the writing on the wall. They are to arrogant to admit failure and their arrogance will be their eventual downfall.

Below is an interesting article on this subject. Please watch the video with Ed Rollins (not a you tube video so click on the appropriate link) and see what he considers to be the trends for the future.

Shalom,

Peter


Rollins: Brown Victory Shows Democrats in Danger

Wednesday, 20 Jan 2010 07:44 PM By: Dan Weil

Political strategist extraordinaire Ed Rollins says Republican ScottBrown’s victory Tuesday in the Massachusetts Senate race indicatesRepublicans are on the rise and Democrats are on the run.

The GOP is in a position to make strong gains in November’scongressional elections, says the architect of President Reagan’s 1984campaign.

“It shows there’s a real appetite out there for change,” Rollins told Ashley Martella of Newsmax.TV.

“There’s unhappiness about the system in Washington: that it’s goingbehind doors, drafting 2,000 page bills that are costing trillions ofdollars, and nobody knows what’s in it [healthcare reform]. Scott did avery effective job of connecting with those voters.”

And what does it mean for November? “Republicans are very intensified,” Rollins said.

“They feel that Obama is a far worse president than they anticipatedand that [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and [Senate Majority LeaderHarry] Reid are taking this country on an agenda that’s clearly out ofsynch with where America needs to be in a time of economic crisis.”

And Democrats aren’t exactly doing cartwheels themselves. “Most of themaren’t very intense about going out and supporting policies they thinkare no longer centrist but very liberal and socialist,” Rollins said.

Republicans are likely to pick up at least six seats in the Senate and25 in the House, he said. Taking back majority control in either bodyis “not probable, but not impossible.”

And even such minimum gains would push both chambers of Congress back to the center, Rollins said.

The Democrats’ only chance is to focus exclusively on jobs, hemaintains. “If they want to continue spending money we don’t have, . .. they will be slitting their own throats.”

President Obama may be in hot water himself two years from now, Rollinssays. He doesn’t expect the president to moderate his agenda. “He has asignificant political base very unhappy with the Afghan war and nothaving more of a socialist agenda.”

Although Obama remains popular, Rollins said, his approval rating hasdropped dramatically, to around 50 percent. And he has the highestdisapproval rating of any president after his first year in office.

“People still kind of like him as a personality. They’re just not sure he’s strong enough,” Rollins said.

Obama won the election because of “tremendous Bush fatigue” and John McCain’s incompetent campaign, Rollins said.

“But at this time his policies aren’t popular,” Rollins said.

“If over the course of the next two years, he doesn’t . . . get to thecenter, he stays far left, then certainly a Republican has an excellentchance. If the country is looking for change in two years, just as theywere in Massachusetts yesterday, this president will be in deeptrouble.”

RE: HSIG- Israeli Rescue Operation
1/22/2010 6:46:56 AM
Hello Friends,

Dry Bones has a way to tell it like it is. In this case way to true.

Shalom,

Peter



Here in Israel we've been beaming with pride at our rescue operationin Haiti. Our newspapers are filled with photographs and first-personreports. And every now and then we are surprised to catch sight of mainstream media acknowledgment of what we are doing. For some examplescheck out a posting called "Look! There's Hebrew!!!" at the ShilohMusings blog:
"We've been watching the news, andof course it's about what's going on in Haiti since the earthquake.Even when Israel isn't mentioned, you can't miss the Hebrew on theuniforms, vests etc." -to see the posting and the videos click here.

and while you're at it click here also.

RE: HSIG-Radical Islam In your Backyard And Their "Holy War" Against Israel/Jews
1/23/2010 4:49:41 PM
Hello Friends,

Here's an interesting video that sort of puts the Israeli/Palestinian conflict into the proper perspective.

While the PA, Muslim world and Obowma (their agent in the White House) are trying to give the impression that it's all about land you'll hear directly from the mouth of an hate riddled Imam that even if the Israelis would leave Israel they would still have to kill all the Jew scos their perverted prophet demands it of them.

This is part of the Muslim Brotherhood's and Hamas' charters that they will never make peace with or recognize Israel and will do all in their power to kill all Jews.

B Hussein Obowma in a recent interview in the Time magazine said his peace plans so far failed and claimed that Israel hasn't made any bold concessions for the sake of peace. To my knowledge the only side to make any concessions at all was Israel and are the only party that wants to return to peace talks at any time. The PA refuses and Hamas never agreed to be a part of the process to begin with.

I wonder what it will take to open the eyes of the world to the real problem and the fact that their only interest is the total destruction of Israel. Even the so called"moderate" Fatah has that in its charter even though they were supposed to remove that according to past agreements with them. After many years they haven't done it yet.

The below video is made by a US Radical Islamic group that openly advocates Islamic world domination by any means. So my friends the problem isn't only Israel's but the world's and yours. It's in your backyards and can't and shouldn't be ignored.

Shalom,

Peter
