Even while fighting to defend herself against terrorist bombs and rockets, Israel makes the effort to reach out to suffering people throughout the world:
The Defense Ministry announced Friday that a delegation leaving for Japan will be carrying 80 tons of humanitarian aid, including 60 tons of medical supplies which will allow Home Front Command forces to establish a field clinic in the tsunami hit area.
Moreover, the Defense Ministry will be sending 20 tons of equipment to residents left homeless in the disaster – including coats, gloves, blankets and portable toilets valued at millions of shekels.
The IDF medical delegation to Japan’s tsunami disaster area is set to complete its final preparations ahead of its departure for Tokyo Saturday night, from where the team will continue 350 kilometers (217 miles) north to the ruins of the coastal town which lost half its residents, 8,000 people, to the massive waves. The survivors have been left with no roof over their heads, shelter or aid.

I was reared in Chicago and lived near Jewish people all of my young life. We are African Americans, and Jewish People were the only ones that would let us purchase the things we needed on credit. I have always loved the Jewish People and studied the Old Testment so I could learn about the One True And Living God. To read about them sending aid to Japan is just keeping in the character they have displayed down through the years. God Bless Israel and I Pray for the Peace Of Jerusalem.
