Here is a chance for the world to help genuine suffering people. The world is always pointing fingers at Israel for making life "tough" for the Gazans. Now the world is just sitting around doing relatively nothing for the Haitians. Where is Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas when they could be helping these people? After all these are helpless blacks with nothing but the shirts on their backs.
The world could send flotillas and and armmadas of relief planes and ships to help the Haitians, but so far, gurnisht mit gurnisht.
This is the hypocrisy of the so-called "international community" nothing but a band of selfish nations, who could not care much about the massacres in Darfur by the Sudanese, or the the genocides in Rwanda and Burundi, or the what went on Serbia, Laos under Pol Pot, all those things are just not newsworthy and deemed worthy of help and shouting.
But let Israel respond to the rocketing of its civilians with a counter-strike and kill some armed Hamas terrorists the world will cry out and send hundreds of millions to help the "poor Palestinians".
Perhaps that is alesson Hashem is teaching everyone, who knows, when the Goldstone report falsely blamed Israel for "war crimes" what is the world doing now as it stands by while as so far 200,000 people and counting are dead? Nothing! It's all hypocrisy!
The navi stated, "Not now will the House of Yakov [i.e. those who follow the Torah] be ashamed, but when they see their 'children, the work of my hands' [i.e. the only zchus they have are that they are Hashem's people, the 'Chilonim']..."
Rabbi Eliyahi Zimmerman, zt'l, used to say that we see it today with secular Israel on the world stage fighting our enemies who wish to destroy us.
CNN reporting positive about Yidden? It can't be! Must be faked by someone with millions of dollars to spen to create a bogus video! Rabbi Eidensohn, have you authenticated this clip? ;))
Or maybe besides baid vaad leznus this is another sign that Moshiach is near! :)
FYI Rav Eidensohn, I cannot seem to post comments from my Firefox browser, my usual weapon of choice.
I don't know if anyone else has the same problem.
In any event, Baruch Elokenu shebaranu lechvodo.
As Monsy Tzaddik says, this is a tremendous kidduh hashem, made even greater because deep down, no one is really surprised by Israeli chesed. The nation has been doing that for a long time:

Armenia, 1988- Israel sends search and rescue units and aid following an earthquake that leaves 30,000 dead and 50,000 homeless. Israeli medical teams treat 2500 at a field hospital and evacuate 61 to Israel for advanced medical treatment.
Buenos Aires, 1994- Israel dispatches 40 search and rescue team members as well as sophisticated rescue equipment, to help in the aftermath of the Jewish Community Center bombing. Many buried victims were rescued and treated.

Rwanda, 1994- As a result of a bloody civil war that left over a million dead and millions more as refugees, Israel send 270 doctors and other medical personnel. A field hospital is established. Over 3000 refugees are treated in a 40 day period.
The list goes on- Mozambique, Ethiopia, Myanmar and Sri Lanka, just to name a few others.

"Th[e] hypocrisy of the so-called "international community..." nothing but a band of selfish nations, who could not care much about the massacres... or the what went on Serbia,"
Not care about what went on in Serbia? No, much worse than that. They ("the international community") were the PERPETRATORS of what went on in Serbia. It was under Bill Clinton and NATO auspices that thousands of Serbian civilians were airbombed relentlessly while hundreds of thousands were forcibly expelled... to make room for the KLA's vision for a serb-less, Islamic terrorist 'kosovo.'

With all this chillul hashem being done by super-ultra-haredis like Tropper, it is good to hear about kiddush hashem being done by secular Zionists.

All that is in addition to Israeli foreign aid.

Usually when there is a difficulty in making a comment it is because the comment is too large and needs to be broken down.
I did just that, but on Firefox I still get an 'error 400 message- Bad Request' in the comments box.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, on top of the page on reload there is a 'Bad Request' massage that crosses the entire banner head.
Siz a shvere leben, I tell you. I keep an IE browser window open just for you.

Growing up,
ReplyDeleteI use Firefox and don't have a problem, though I'm running Win98 so that may have something to do with it.
Report the problem to the Firefox folks, maybe it's a known issue.
Do you have the problem with other blogger.com sites?

ReplyDeleteI am having issues with some other blogger sites, but only as of late. I will report this to Firefox.
Thanks
