ISRAEL'S HISTORY IS ONE OF GENEROUS AID
Many world leaders have accused Israel of responding disproportionately to aggression from Hezbollah and Hamas. It's time the world knows of another of Israel's disproportionate responses. The disastrous earthquake in Haiti has generated responses from many nations. The U.S. has sent supplies and personnel, Britain sent 64 firemen and eight volunteers, France sent search and rescue troops. Many large and wealthy nations sent money. The Arab and Muslim world, nothing.
