Just days after destruction caused by a tornado in Oklahoma, the first team of IsraAID (an Israeli-based humanitarian organization) volunteers are on the scene providing assistance.

Hopefully many Jewish Schools will become aware of IsraAID support to Oklahoma and use it as a good teachng tool for Israel’s participation in international humanitarian needs.
Its an important step in the ( continuing) branding of Israel as a country intricately involved in human rights.
It’s very disturbing that Israel sends aid teams around the world, including to Oklahoma, and does nothing at all for those whose homes it destroys — see al-Arakib village in the Negev, thousands of homes in Gaza, others throughout the Jerusalem area and West Bank . . . it seems so very blind, so very self-serving to garner good publicity and so little about helping people who are actually in need.
