Aid for Super-Storm Sandy Victims

 
As you know, America is the first country to send aid when other countries are in trouble.


It is highly appropriate that we now send THANKS to all of the countries that reciprocated for our help with their disasters, misgivings, social turmoil, and poverty by sending monetary and physical help to America when Sandy ravaged our East Coast leaving dead, homelessness, and pure disaster.


Listed below are all the Countries and World Organizations that are giving us gracious assistance. Please assist in thanking these entities by passing on this email so people all over America can join in and THANK our neighbors, whom we have assisted with BILLIONS!!!!



List of countries that helped us in our time of need:




1 . Israel

Maybe now Americans will realize that charity begins at home. With millions

of our people in need and in poverty, let's save our money and spend it

at home instead of sending it to Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, etc...



Staten Island, Queens, New Jersey, and parts of New York and Connecticut

would gladly thank America if we spent the billions there...


Where's the Coverage? Israelis Help Hurricane Sandy Victims 

On October 29, "Super-Storm Sandy" made landfall on the eastern coast of the United States. The storm destroyed thousands of homes, left millions without electric power, heat or hot water, and killed over a hundred. Gasoline, food and other necessities remain in short supply, particularly in some of the hardest hit areas of New York and New Jersey.

Given that Israel is often the country first on the scene with aid at major natural disasters, it should be no surprise to learn that various Israeli non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were working to bring relief to victims and supplies to emergency workers in New York and New Jersey. Except you wouldn't learn it from most of the popular press.

According to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, a delegation of about a dozen trained rescue volunteers fromIsraAID is leaving Israel headed for the devastated areas of New York's Long Island and the New Jersey shore. Leading the group is Shahar Zahavi, who oversaw relief work in Haiti in the wake of the 2010 earthquake.

In addition, affiliated NGOs Israel Flying Aid and Israeli Humanitarian Aid-Latet, ("latet" means "to give" in Hebrew) were already at work. "We have been responsible for making fuel deliveries to hospitals in New Jersey, and going directly down to the South Shore of Long Island and delivering generators, food and providing other essential equipment and supplies," says Ra'anana resident and volunteer Joel Leyden. "We're talking about devastation close to a nuclear bomb having gone off, with hundreds of homes completely leveled and thousands of people without electricity, without food, without water, without shelter."

Residents and those working in the area have been happy to see the Israelis. Dr. Jason Mallin, who normally practices neurology at North Shore University Hospital but was volunteering with the Nassau County Department of Health, said, "We read about Israel and the great work you did in Haiti. We have thousands here that need you. It's awesome that you are here!"

Only The Wall Street Journal picked up an Associated Press brief mentioning this news. The story was also covered in more depth by some in the Jewish press.

Other than that, this news has been  ignored. Though Sandy wreaked havoc on their readership, neither The New York Times nor the New Jersey newspapers gave any space to a story about Israelis traveling half-way around the globe to help hurting Americans, instead deeming it more important to their readers to inform them about internal Israeli politics, Scientology attempting to make inroads in Israel and an Israeli film festival.

Given that hundreds of thousands are still suffering, you’d think it would be helpful to them to know that Israel was there to help. But… Where's the coverage?
From Haiti, Japan and Turkey to New York, South Sudan and Indonesia,


Israel has provided humanitarian aid around the world.


Israel provides search, rescue and medical teams when disaster strikes civilians.


Israel is there 24/7 as a global partner for peace, democracy and humanitarian aid.
 The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

  1. It's because of Israel that we, as Americans (fast becoming the United Socialist States of Amerika,) can sleep soundly in our beds at night.

  4. If you recall, Israel was the only nation that offered to help us after 9/11, too. And were denied. God bless them.
