First On The Scene
Israel is constantly being berated by Third World thugs and leftwing activists. Whenever something terrible happens – outbreaks of disease (including the swine flu), accidents, natural disasters, recessions, etc. – some commentators, usually in the Muslim world, are quick to blame it on “the Jews,” “the Israelis” or some “Zionist conspiracy.” But despite being six and half thousand miles away, Israel got to Haiti first with nearly 200 medical professionals and the only fully functioning hospital. Haitians are reportedly streaming to the Israeli hospital because the word is out that “the best care available is that of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces).”
