You know those “racist, apartheid-loving” Israelis?

Well, they opened a field hospital on the Israel-Syrian border.

And they are treating wounded Syrians, their long-standing enemies.

Via Breitbart: Secret Israeli Field Hospital Treats Hundreds of Syrian Conflict Victims

Hundreds of Syrians, including children and the elderly, have been treated at the Israeli Defense Force’s secret field hospital in the Golan Heights.

Last week, the Israeli military allowed television cameras into the facility for the first time, displaying the high-tech field hospital which includes an emergency room, an intensive care unit, an operating theater, a mobile laboratory, a pharmacy, and an x-ray facility….

One rebel fighter being treated at the facility said, “Bashar [al-Assad] didn’t take care of us. Here, in Israel, we are being taken care of. Bashar doesn’t care about us, whereas Israel does. Bashar fires shells at us, he doesn’t care about us at all.”

Another patient, Latif, said, “They taught us about the Zionist enemy, the Zionist oppressor; but when we saw the Zionists, [we realized] they were nothing like what we’d been told. They’re human beings just like us, human, and even more than that….”

But my favorite quote is from The New York Times: Despite Decades of Enmity, Israel Quietly Aids Syrian Civilians

A Syrian farmer learned that his grandchildren had been hurt in a rocket attack from Assad forces.

…He had heard about the Israeli medical care and, ignoring the political risks, worked to bring his granddaughter here.

“When there is peace, I will raise an Israeli flag on the roof of my house,” he said.

    It is no coincedence that this is true. The last sentence of Genesis 12:3 states
    “And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” ALL, including enemies.

    In vivid contrast to how the U.S. is now treating its citizens. http://www.law360.com/articles/506622/irs-aca-outreach-could-be-challenging-tigta-says

    I didn’t realize the above (may be just me). Beginning in 2015, all phone inquiries concerning Ocare will go to the IRS. If the inquiry relates to problems with your health then the IRS will forward your call to HHS. So the IRS will get the name/phone no. of every person who has any question on Ocare whether it is a tax-related question or not. That should cut down on complaints ==> eg, who will call the IRS to seek advice much less complain? Can you say, Intimidation.

    Contrast to Indonesia: Indonesia has just named its latest Navy frigate after two Indonesia marines who bombed MacDonald House in Singapore in 1965. Indonesia foreign minister tells Singapore, No ill intent. http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/se-asia/story/no-ill-intent-naming-warship-indonesias-foreign-minister-20140211

    Wikipedia on the bombing which was part of Konfrontasi, Sukarno’s terror sabotage against the formation of Malaysia/Singapore.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacDonald_House_bombing
    “…The Indonesian military, under orders from Sukarno, began to insert saboteurs into both Singapore and Malaysia with the intent of stirring up racial tensions while at the same time undertaking acts of sabotage to destroy vital installations, beginning on 24 September 1963. Later, these saboteurs resorted to exploding bombs indiscriminately to create public alarm and panic. The bombing of the MacDonald House was the 29th, and the most serious of the spate of bombings in Singapore…”
