Great news
The new effort to create educational and social programs for young refugees stranded in Greece is the latest Israeli initiative aimed at helping victims of the civil war.
If all goes as planned, an Israeli delegation of Jewish and Arab youth movement leaders will head to the Greek island of Lesbos next week to help establish educational and social programs there for young Syrian refugees.
Teaming up in the effort will be two youth movements – Zionist-socialist Hashomer Hatzair and the Arab Ajyal group – who have a long history of cooperation, though never in something quite like this.
In December, Tag Meir, a nonprofit anti-racism group, organized a human chain from the U.S. Embassy to the Russian Embassy in Tel Aviv to show support for the Syrians suffering from the war. Na'amat, Israel’s largest women’s organization, used its network of preschools across the country for a huge baby food-gathering drive.
In addition, the country's kibbutzim have mobilized on behalf of Syrian refugees, organizing care packages, as have townships on the northern border. To date, more than 4,400 Israelis have signed a petition calling on their government to open its border with Syria and provide refuge to victims of the conflict.
