Israel Provides Humanitarian Aid to Syrians A headline from abc News. Then it goes on like, .. Israel acknowledged for the first time Tuesday that it is providing humanitarian aid to victims of the civil war inside neighboring Syria, saying it has funneled food and other emergency supplies to embattled villages just across the frontier. Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon made the announcement during a visit to the Israeli-controlled side of the Golan Heights. Syrian troops and rebels have been clashing in the area for months, and hundreds of civilians have fled especially heavy fighting to neighboring Lebanon in recent days. We cant sit by and watch the humanitarian difficulties on the other side, Yaalon said. Weve transferred water, food, including baby food, taking into consideration that these villages are besieged and they dont have access to any other place. So therefore yes, we are assisting with humanitarian aid along the fence.... _____ It would look like only a few good people really understood Israel and its good intentions. About a year back, the UN General Assembly voted to accord Palestine ‘ Non-Member Observer State’ Status in United Nations. The voting went something like this: ..Voting by an overwhelming majority — 138 in favour to 9 against (Canada, Czech Republic, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia (Federated States of), Nauru, Panama, Palau, United States), with 41 abstentions — the General Assembly today accorded Palestine non-Member Observer State status in the United Nations.. *Assumes a straight face*
