Hello Friends,
Here's a news bit that you won't find anywhere and I wonder why??? Even though the tragedy in Japan is on the top of the news list world wide MSM or as I've seen it called LSM (lame stream media) made no mention of it but this won't be the first time nor the last.
Interestingly enough no one posted about it in Adland either even though the Japanese tragedy has been discussed in some forums extensively. I've seen supposed "galactic assistance" and many claims of their help but ............ nada as usual. I guess real world help isn't worth posting about or God forbid help from Israel.
Israel is the first country in the world to set up a field hospital in Japan. This isn't the first time this happened of course and the last time in recent history was in Haiti. The first and best equipped field hospitals that saved thousands of Haitians.
Japan thanked and thanks Israel for its assistance but you didn't find that in LSM either. Surprise, surprise.
Shalom,
Peter

Japan is the first to be set up by any of the nations offering outside assistance, Israel’s ambassador to Japan, Nissim Ben ****rit, said Monday, adding that the Japanese were extremely appreciative.
Ben ****rit said the hospital was being established at Minamisanriko, a fishing city some 500 km. north of
Tokyo that was utterly overwhelmed by the quake and tsunami, and where some 10,000 people are dead or missing.

“They are evaluating the needs today so that a larger team can be dispatched.”
Ben ****rit confirmed that Israel was also providing tons of aid assistance – including mattresses, blankets, coats, gloves and
chemical toilets – for some of the half-million people who are homeless, many of them now living in public facilities.
“I don’t know how or why it is that our field hospital is the first,” the ambassador said.
“Maybe we moved faster.
Maybe it’s because of our experience.”
He said the medical crisis would take a long time to resolve, but he believed the Japanese government would bring the situation under control in the coming weeks.
Appreciation for Israel’s help, he said, was clear in the reporting in the Japanese media and in the grateful response of people
in the field.
Asked whether Israel had provided any assistance in grappling with the difficulties affecting Japanese nuclear facilities, Ben ****rit said no.
“That’s an issue for the Japanese and the Americans only,” he said.
