The salient point to be made here is that the people they rescued stole their land! Would you be so kind and humane with someone who booted you off your land and is making you live in oppressive, unbearable conditions???

I question what kind of being demolishes another man's home and throws him off his land to live comfortably, stealing his water resources to fill his swimming pool! THIS I SERIOUSLY QUESTION...IS THIS HUMAN OR HUMANE BEHAVIOR???

These people are dependent on each other. Neither can exist without the other. It's about time they recognize that.

Let me hepl you understand the most important tenant of Judaism -

Tikkun Olam - repairing the world
We are taught this from an early age - our life and religion is based around doing good deeds.

Like all people not everyone follows this practice but to suggest it is not part of who we are shows how little you know about Judaism.

All things are possible when "the people" step in.

Scores of Palestinian children with serious medical conditions have long gone untreated because of lack of access to proper medical care and lack of affordability to pay for such care.

But thanks to a new partnership of Palestinian and Israeli pediatricians, under auspices of Israel's Peres Peace Center, hundreds of Palestinian children have been seen for free by Israeli doctors in the last four months. With funding provided from Italy, nearly 200 of 580 children that were referred have already undergone major surgery at Israeli hospitals at no cost to the families. Another 350-400 children have undergone free diagnostic testing.

Four Israeli hospitals have signed on to the 'Saving Children' program, under the auspices of the Peres Peace Center: Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem, Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv, Ramban Hospital in
Haifa and the Jerusalem orthopedic hospital Alyn.

There are more stories - people can make things happen!

This in a way shows that the friendly/peaceful Zio-stance of "2 nations for 2 people" isn't necessary and that if asked Palestinians and Israelis could live together in a 1-state or 2-state. People all over the world live side by side with people of different religions and cultures in the SAME country so why should it be any different in the ME.

Yeah but Israelis don't want to share their rights and privileges equally with Palestinians!

I note that Doomestic testifies to the IDF helping Palestinian victims of crashes. I approve.

Agreed. It's nice to see there is some hope for peace between Israel and Palestine.

It is interesting to see comments on this story of humans caring about and helping others seethe with raucously hatefulness.
Does it surprise you that I cannot believe that any "settler" would deign to help a Palestinian in distress?

This demonstrates the humanity there is in good people, it is the policies that we must condemn as they are detached from any human element. However, Americans are the most ignorant people on the face of the earth, they are brain washed with a media full of hate and propaganda. They know little history of the ME and even their own history. Thus, there is much to do to educate a mass of amorphous views shaped by ignorance and racism.

Anti-semitism is a disease of the European nations. It was born in Europe and will stay in Europe. It has traveled here to the USA but t feeds historically from European nations. The USA is not immune.

Today we see an act of kindness, there were many before; during WWII many Jewish refugees were welcomed by the Palestinians, the table was turn around and there lies the whole issue. Zionism is a problem, Jews, Muslims and Christians can be together without a single element of discord. They were before, they will be after.

Islamism is the problem ... its the problem in Israel, in Thailand, in the Philippines, in Pakistaan ... and everywhere you find it, you find violence NOT just Israel

This is a highly simplistic and ridiculous explanation for the problems of terrorism that completely ignores all of the political, economic, and social factors that have led to such antics. If world history had unfolded in an alternate manner, and Christian societies had been meddled with by some imperialist but democratic Islamic state, i guarantee you that we'd have Christian terrorists strapping bombs to themselves.

Any religion can be twisted to justify horrific violence. Observe the crusades, burning witches, etc.

Do not pretend that the problem is only Islam. The same thing would be happening if some other religion happened to be predominate in the middle east.

Oh, grow up and get a new response will you. You have become so repetitive. I believe you should see a doctor for that condition!

This is a lie! NO JEWS were welcomed in.!!!!IN FACT... in oppopition to what you said here-the Arabs worked with the British to KEEP THE JEWS OUT OF THE AREA and made them go to Cyprus and Tunisia! I KNOW that is factual and true because some of my relatives fleeing the concentration camps were forced away from their final destination...and sent to Cyprus!!! Anti-semetism is not just "a disease of the European Nations", as you contend! ALL Arab nations are anti-semetic towards Jews! Where are you getting your propaganda from ??

I am not sure of your sources but you are not hitting the point.

The point is not your beliefs or my beliefs. My point is that the indigenous people of the area we call Palestine are the true inhabitants of the land and they deserve to be recognized as such. Your historical sources do not allow you to claim the land just because you belong to a religion.

Your religion does not convey a title of property.

See? Jewish settlers can get along with Palestinians just fine. The Palestinians should stop demanding an end to settlements and treat the Jews in their lands like equals, just like the ones who helped rescue the settlers from the accident.

Being a Palestinian, I have seen the IDF help Palestinians on car crashes too.

I'm inclined to believe Doomestic, I've seen his other posts. Keep in mind that almost /every/ teen or young adult in Israel is pressed to serve in the IDF. Many of them /are/ decent people. Think of it this way: the vast majority of our troops are decent, upstanding people -- but things like Abu Gharib and Gitmo and the bombing of Afghani and Pakistani still happen because of the orders and policies set from on high.
