[teddyearp]

NEW YORK — Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh on yeah, you are a professional deflector, detractor and confuser, that's what.

B.) Where is the link?

Regional security hinges on end of Israeli occupation in Palestine Judeh The Jordan Times

Oh this was suppose to be a love thread for Israel, the US did a lot as well along with many other countries, and since they gets over 3 billion a year from the US tax payer plus, and then brags about how great the are that they invented everything yes they can surely help out now and then..

Huh?? So not only can't you read, you cannot make a good quote that makes sense and you have no reply to my #16!

Israel Refuses U.S. Request for Field Hospital to Aid Ebola Fight

The U.S. ambassador to the UN, Samantha Powers, ever alert to opportunities to showcase Israel’s better qualities to the world (aka hasbara), suggested to the foreign ministry that it send a medical field hospital to Sierra Leone, to help that country combat the deadliest outbreak of Ebola the world has ever seen. Powers offered Israel a golden opportunity in the aftermath of the Gaza slaughter to show the world a kinder, gentler face.

This is precisely what Israel did in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake when it parachuted a team into the country where it stayed for two weeks, named a new baby “Israel” and promptly left–after videotaping the enterprise for suitable exploitation in hasbara efforts. I called that escapade, The Zionization of Disaster Relief.

But this time, it was not to be. Though the foreign ministry approved the project, it required the blessing of the defense ministry. Bogie Yaalon isn’t known for his humanitarian spirit and he showed it in spades this time. He refused to offer assistance to an African country absolutely bereft of resources to fight the epidemic saying:

Yaalon said it would risk infecting Israeli medical teams and the army troops that would secure them, according to Ynet. Israel’s assistance was sought in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

This further reinforces the notion of Israel and the IDF in particular being racist, favoring the lives of Israeli Jews over the lives of African epidemic victims. Of what use are Israel’s vaunted medical advances (trumpeted in hasbara campaigns the world over) if it doesn’t utilize them to help non-Israelis in need? Think about it: the IDF just murdered 2,100 Gazans, 500 children among them. Here it has a chance to mitigate some of that awful PR and it refuses.

That article lost any credibility when it makes repeated reference to hasbara, calls Israel and the IDF racist, but especially when it finishes by saying that the IDF just murdered 2100 Gazans, etc.

I have said it to your partners, and I will say it to you. You call it war and resistance when Hamas fires rockets and mortars into Israel, but MURDER when Israel fights back.

Two faced hypocritical bullshit.

Meanwhile, the Israeli non-governmental organization IsraAid, which receives support from U.S. Jews, met this week with the first lady of Sierra Leone and is in discussions with local authorities about how to provide psychological and social counseling and increase local health awareness. IsraAid founder Shachar Zahavi told JTA that his organization is also in the process of recruiting medical personnel to join those treating the affected area in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

In the coming months IsraAid plans to send over 30 experts in post-traumatic stress disorder prevention and stress management to West Africa to conduct intensive training for local social workers and health workers.

The idea, according to IsraAid is “to provide them with practical tools in stress management and trauma prevention techniques. The program will be based on IsraAid’s world-renowned holistic approach developed and implemented after disasters in Haiti, Japan, South Sudan, Jordan and other countries around the world.”<<

Yes "People really should read the news and articles posted". Zionist JSIL (aka Israel) is sending NOTHING. The "aid", such as it is, is coming from a Jewish NGO financed by private Jewish citizens in America, Europe and other parts of the world. Many, if not most, Jewish people around the world retain their humanity and motivation to help those in distress; this is laudable and I for one have no complaint about that. Its the fact that Zionist Hasbarists seek to mislead people by inferring the murderous and brutal Zionist regime is behind these humanitarian efforts that needs to be highlighted here and elsewhere.

Fanger, I have two words for you.

Get Fucked.

Two faced hypocritical bullshit.

What's "two faced hypocritical bullshit" is the fact that Zionist JSIL has the technological means to strike back at the Palestinian Resistance using precision guided weapons which it continually boasts about, yet resorts to mass indiscriminate aerial, tank and artillery bombardment to flatten whole neighbourhoods and exterminate whole famillies. That by any reasonable measure is murder, pure and simple.

If the French Resistance in WW2 had figured out a way to launch rockets into Nazi Germany from Occupied France, would we have praised their inginuity or called them terrorists?

The Palestinian Resistance uses what weapons it has; I'm sure they'd only be too please to be given high-tech guided weapons to even up the playing field, then they wouldn't need to shoot off fireworks any more.

>>MASHAV, Israel's international aid organization, is in charge of this endeavor and says it will center training around Ebola prevention, providing education for not only the medical community but the general population as well.

Israel previously sent an Ebola treatment team to Cameroon, sent emergency equipment to Sierra Leone, and sent protective equipment to African Union teams. <<

>>
Israel's Foreign Office, responding to world-wide requests from many governments, the UN Secretary-General, the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as other international and Israeli organizations, has decided to increase the contribution of Israeli aid to combat the spread of Ebola.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs through MASHAV, Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation and the agency for international aid, will send three mobile emergency clinics to areas of West Africa where there is a high risk of Ebola infection.

This contribution comes on the heels of Israel sending medical health experts to Cameroon in September. That team was received favorably by the local government.

These clinics, produced in Israel, were built on the basis of standards and guidelines dictated by the World Health Organization for the treatment of Ebola. Israel will also be providing clinic staff and medical experts to run operations and equipment in the West African areas. Staff training will focus on preventing the spread of the disease and raising awareness among populations with high infection potential.

In addition, the Foreign Ministry sent emergency equipment to the Government of Sierra Leone and in recent weeks has shipped personal protection equipment for the African Union.

Although several Ebola scares have occurred in Israel, most notably in Jerusalem and Kfar Saba, they have so far all been ruled out. More recently, the United States has seen the diagnosis of its first Ebola patient, who may have come in contact with 100 other individuals.<<

Israel's latest decision about Ebola assistance.


As Israeli researchers are working overtime to help combat the spread of Ebola that is spreading like wildfire across Western Africa and is now crossing international border, the Foreign Ministry announced that it will send three mobile emergency clinics to the region.

The Foreign Ministry’s Mashav department, also known as the Agency for International Development Cooperation, confirmed that Israel has decided to step up its own international efforts to combat the spread of the epidemic, a ministry spokesman announced on Sunday.

The decision was passed after several requests by the World Health Organization, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and numerous Israeli and international aid organizations.


Israel Sending Medical Teams to Africa to Combat Ebola - Israel News

 

[teddyearp]

And more:

In response to urgent pleas from the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the US government and other countries, Israel is sending more than a million shekels’ worth of medical equipment, as well as expert personnel to fight the spread of the African Ebola epidemic that has claimed 3,400 lives since March and has infected almost 7,200 people.

Gil Haskel, deputy director general of MASHAV-Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation of the Foreign Ministry, tells ISRAEL21c that many international groups – including IsraAID, the Israel Forum for International Humanitarian Aid — are already working in the affected countries of West Africa to treat patients stricken by hemorrhagic fever caused by the virus.

Earlier this week, Israel’s Defense Ministry told the US and UN that it could not fulfill a request to send IDF field hospitals to Liberia and Sierra Leone, out of concern for the safety of Israeli health workers. MASHAV is answering a different but just as pressing need: prevention.

So now aid is on the way from the Gov't; they are going to focus on prevention of the spread.
