Israeli NGO Helps Americans During Pandemic

“This deployment will go on for months, because even if the curve flattens, there’s going to be a long tail of people still in need of food and financial help,” said Seth Davis, CEO of IsraAID US.

Twenty-two-year-old Amir Kashfi arrives early in the morning around 6:30 a.m. outside a Los Angeles school to set up boxes of canned goods, pasta, rice and other non-perishables to dispense. A number of recipients line up by car or by foot by 8 a.m.

The need for this food pantry has spiked during the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

“There’s a huge increase in demand because of the pandemic,” said Kashfi, a volunteer with IsraAID, an Israel-based NGO that partners with Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Team Rubicon, which is a US veterans organization, among others in these efforts. “It hurts my heart to see so many in need.”

“Our goal is to be there for the community,” said Seth Davis, chief executive officer of IsraAID US.

He noted that the short-term goal was to fill a gap and get food to people in need, but the long-term goal was to create a cadre in the community who can respond to such crises. In addition to Los Angeles, IsraAID has helped operate food banks in other California locations, including San Diego, Orange County, San Jose and Santa Barbara.

Davis said, “This deployment will go on for months, because even if the curve flattens, there’s going to be a long tail of people still in need of food and financial help.”

“These are unprecedented times,” Dr. Lucy Uber, another volunteer, said. “Food is a basic necessity that most of us take for granted.”

A pediatrician in the emergency room at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Uber reflected on the precariousness that many were experiencing at the moment. “Many of these people live in what is already referred to as a food desert,” said Uber. “Add the coronavirus crisis and there is financial devastation.”

“The full socioeconomic impact of the coronavirus crisis may not be known for years,” Uber said.

She connected with IsraAID through a classmate from high school, Farah Shamolian, who works for the NGO. “I went into medicine because I wanted to help people,” Uber said. Uber, who attended medical school in Tel Aviv, said, “I wanted to keep Israel close to my heart.”

She is also part of the IsraAID Humanitarian Professionals Network, a collective of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists and others involved in humanitarian relief and disaster response. “Its goal is to educate and motivate people to be ready to respond to crises abroad and locally,” Uber said.

In 2018, IsraAID deployed Kashfi to Berlin, where he worked with Farsi-speaking refugees from Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan, as well Arab refugees from Iraq and Syria.

Kashfi said, “It was not lost on me that I’m a Persian Jewish kid from Los Angeles helping Arab and Muslim refugees through an Israeli organization in a country where the Holocaust happened. You can’t make that up.”

IsraAid, which has worked in 52 countries worldwide, has helped the US in crises before.

In 2005, IsraAID assisted those in the path of Hurricane Katrina. It also sent a team in 2012 to help with Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts. It has responded to Hurricane Harvey in Texas, Hurricane Michael in Florida and Hurricane Florence in the Carolinas. They were also responders to the more recent fire of Paradise, California, working with local community leaders and caregivers to deal with the trauma.

IsraAID is currently speaking with potential partners in helping New York state’s response to COVID-19. The organization already had a satellite office in New York.

BLUF: I completely missed this. Very Interesting!

Just like there are profiteers, in these critical times, so there are politicians and political propagandist that will try to reshape the events as they unfold.

But it is good to see that Israel is (at least) trying to help the people of East Jerusalem.

I found it interesting that the "WHO essentially blames Israel for the Palestinian health crisis. The UN body argues that Israel bears the “primary responsibility” for ensuring the health of Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem."

While I might agree that as the dominating authority in the West Bank and for Jerusalem, it is NOT the principle source of government over the Gaza Strip.

IF the international community is going to hold Israel responsible for Palestinian Health Care, THEN it also has to acknowledge that the Ramallah Government is a failed venture → a dysfunctional entity and that the State of Palestine is a House of Cards
(with only the appearance of something orderly). IF the State of Palestine (FATAH + HAMAS) cannot carry out those essential functions THEN it is not a true government.

The ICC prosecutor’s history is very political. The United States has revoked her entry visa due to her positions of continuing prejudice against Israel and the United States. Those who support the Palestinian position are the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Palestine was accepted into the ICC Assembly of State Parties in 2015, and Bensouda claims she didn’t receive any formal objections. The truth, however, is that Canada filed a formal objection and the Netherlands, Germany, and England had all given speeches against Palestine joining.



The ICC statute limits its jurisdiction to the member states. Today, there is no Palestinian state, the decision was made as a political means of advancing Palestinian demands and various anti-Israeli groups, as well as undermines and pre-determines any negotiation between the parties.

Räsänen used as source material a CNN report that the reason for the ban was Hezbollah's anti-Israel stance. But Hezbollah's terror activities are widely documented:

Hezbollah was behind a bombing in Istanbul in May 2011 that wounded eight Turkish civilians in an assassination attempt on the Israeli consul to Turkey, Moshe Kimchi.

In July 2012, a Lebanese man who admitted working for Hezbollah was detained by Cyprus police for planning attacks against Israeli tourists.

The 2012 Burgas bus bombing terrorist attack against Israeli citizens in Bulgaria, which killed six, was done by Hezbollah.

These are only the European attacks since 2010. Hezbollah has been involved in attacks and attempts in Singapore, Argentina and elsewhere. Denying that they are terrorists is the worst kind of pandering.

Oh, and Germany seems to have acted after the Mossad helpfully informed German authorities of the locations of warehouses in Germany where Hezbollah was storing explosives. But that's a minor detail to someone as big-brained as Syksy Räsänen.

But Räsänen, the human rights activist, has nothing bad to say about these attacks - because the intended target was Israeli civilians, and to him, Israelis are not human.

Hamas quietly allows Gaza doctors to get COVID-19 training
in Israel


Al-Monitor contacted Hajj to ask who had arranged for the training, but he had yet to respond at deadline.

Abu Warda said he had contacted the Health Ministry in Gaza to find out how the coordination had taken place, but he did not get an answer.

He noted that the Gaza government also refused to send samples to Ramallah to be tested for the novel coronavirus and sent them to Israel instead. Nor was the Health Ministry in Ramallah informed about the laboratory to be established in Gaza with donations from Chinese and Israeli companies. “We only heard about it in the media. It seems that Gaza was able to find a direct outlet to communicate with the Israeli side without us knowing.”

Yes, Israel is providing health insurance for Palestinian workers.

If there is any non-Israel issue that the anti-Israel Left agrees on, it is universal health care. If they really care about Palestinians they should be very happy about this news that provides a safety net for those who need work and must go to Israel.

Haaretz reported last week that the Israeli Health Ministry issued a a directive already on March 24 requiring the Israeli employers to arrange for health care coverage for those Palestinians who decided to stay in Israel to continue to work. Soon they all went home anyway because the PA demanded it.

It looks like the employers are not all following the directive, so - based on this UN report - it looks like the Israeli government itself is ensuring that Palestinian workers have health insurance.

Even so, the ministry issued the order based on its own judgment of what is the right thing to do - not because of pressure from critics of Israel.

This is how a moral society works.

And this is why you will not hear a word about this from the people who claim to be pro-Palestinian. Because they want to find things to blame on Israel. They want to see Israel treating Palestinians poorly.

Israel is taking a no-compromise approach to Iranian military bases in Syria. I don't see how there is any other choice. The Iranian occupation of Syrian lands and the establishment of Iranian military bases will result in predictable attacks on Israeli cities.

Here in the Great Satan we have an expression: "Nip it in the bud".




Jerusalem (AFP) - Israel will keep up its operations in Syria until its arch enemy Iran leaves, Defence Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday after strikes on Iranian-backed militias and their allies killed 14 fighters.

Lord Salisbury 1890.png

Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
3rd Marquess of Salisbury (AKA: Lord Salisbury, 1890)

I get confused on the question:

◈ Is it a question of territorial jurisdiction in the "Occupied Palestinian Territories? "
◈ Is it a question of territorial jurisdiction in the "State of Palestine? "

In the later decades of the 19th Century and the early decades of the 20th Century, when the idea that the Jewish National Home could actually become a reality, boundaries were drawn across the region with very little regard for religious differences, cultural considerations, and tribal practices. The boundaries were drawn with a mind to reinforce a system of "(absolute) sovereignty." Often, these boundaries were drawn based on joint surveyor teams (usually British and French) and the geo-military-political occupation between the terrain and landscape. And as you look across the Middle East • North African (MENA) Region, still today you will see many of the artificially created straight-line boundaries (still enforced) as drawn by the original colonial and Allied Powers of the 18th and 19th (into the early 20th) Centuries.

In April 1950 the West Bank was annexed by Transjordan and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. This Arab Palestinian approved annexation was based on the decision of the Palestinian Arab Conference held in Jericho in December 1948, expressing the will of the Arab Palestinian wish to become part of Jordan. All Palestinians, whether in Jordan or in the West Bank, or in Jerusalem, became one people under Jordanian nationality (or so they thought).

(SIDEBAR)

It was at this same Jericho Conference 1948 that the bid by the All Palestine Government was rejected.

Alqaisiya cannot deny that Israel is a liberal state. She cannot deny that transgender rights exist in Israel and are non-existent in the Palestinian areas. She cannot deny that Talleen Abu Hanna is a proud Israeli who would be killed if she lived under Palestinian rule.

But pointing out those facts is immoral, because it helps legitimate Israel and it delegitimizes Palestine.

In other words, pointing out that Israel is a more moral and a more liberal society than any in the Arab world is worse than the gay-bashing, misogynist Arab culture itself. There is no greater crime than legitimizing Israel, and its liberalism and morality do exactly that, so they must not be discussed. And when Israel shows pride in its own accomplishments and its humanity, that is all a means to legitimize itself, and therefore immoral.

The next paragraph of gibberish mostly confirms what I wrote, but it ends with an astonishing statement for a supposed liberal to make:

On Wednesday, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) Danny Danon demanded that the international body’s peacekeeping force (UNIFIL) stop giving Hezbollah terrorists a free pass near Israel’s border.

For years, the Lebanese terror group has operated in an area called the “Blue Zone” in violation of the UN-brokered truce that ended the last war between Hezbollah and the Jewish state.

Hezbollah’s stated goal is to destroy Israel, which it pursues using hundreds of millions of dollars in annual aid from Iran and massive profits from an international narcotics trafficking operation

In a real break from historical Saudi attitudes toward Israel, the Saudi's are presenting Ramadan programming that is not what you might expect.




Each year ahead of the month of Ramadan, Arab television networks produce series that are aired every evening during that month. Avidly anticipated and widely watched, these series often evoke reactions across the Arab world and beyond it.[1] This year two series, both of them produced and financed by Saudi Arabia, sparked a furor, especially the drama series Umm Haroun. Filmed in the UAE and aired on the Saudi MBC channel, this series portrays the Jewish community in Kuwait in the 1940s. It describes the coexistence that prevailed between Muslims, Jews and Christians in Kuwait, which, following the establishment of the state of Israel, was replaced by hostility, discrimination and antisemitism, eventually causing most the Jews to leave the country. It focuses on the doctor Umm Haroun, played by famous Kuwaiti actress Hayat Al-Fahad, and the difficulties she encounters as a Jewish woman.[2]
 
The implication, of course, is that Israelis wouldn't take care of Palestinian health needs.

As White undoubtedly knows, every nation - and the Palestinian Authority is included in this -is responsible for its own COVID-19 battle. This is necessary for keeping track of the statistics and keeping things consistent within every country. So, yes, while Israel can and does provide tests to Palestinian medical officials to use, they will not and should not test Palestinians for the virus.

However, Israelis - and "settlers" - provide medical services to Palestinians all the time. The clinic in Efrat is famous for this, and Ariel also provides services to the Arabs that want to use them. I'm sure there are others.

This article about a right-wing Orthodox Israeli doctor who treats Arab patients all the time, even traveling to Arab communities to meet patients, is something that White would never mention - because he wants to only push his agenda of half-truths.
