Palestinians have been treated by Israeli doctors and in Israeli hospitals for decades and they haven't taken anything away from that. There was that case a few years ago...I always think of it when I read about the horrid, dehumanizing checkpoints...of a young woman from the Gaza area who was being treated at a hospital in Beersheba.<br /><br />From all reports she had received treatment that was both kind and effective. And when she was coming in for a follow up she was intercepted at a checkpoint carrying a bomb; this was her response to help.<br /><br />And that, I regret to say, is the sort of people they are.Alex Benskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669007254706796976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-28834095357940695112011-03-17T00:55:45.803-04:002011-03-17T00:55:45.803-04:00Two beautiful stories--the original post and foxfi...Two beautiful stories--the original post and foxfier's.

People come to visit and usually, food is put out somewhere. Some people spend hours sitting and talking - and many try to encourage the family to eat something. You talk of the loved ones, you see pictures. People come and tell you stories you had never heard before about how special they were. Your heart breaks a thousand times, and then a thousand times more.<br /><br />Quietly, over the last few days, a man has been coming to the house bringing food and stocking the kitchen. His name is Rami Levy and he owns a chain of supermarkets. I've heard amazing stories about him in the past but this one beats all I have ever heard. <br /><br />Every day, Rami Levy comes by the shiva house to the Fogel family and fills the cupboards and refrigerator himself with food for the family and guests. Today, one of the relatives thanked him for this incredible kindness and his response brought me to tears,"You will get used to my face," he told this family in mourning, "I have committed myself that every week I will deliver food and stock your home until the youngest orphan turns 18 years old." <br /><br />The youngest orphan of this tragedy is a young 2 year old boy...<br /><br />What Rami Levy has done is commit to 16 years of kindness. If this was a week in which the Palestinians should be ashamed, and it was, than this is a week in which we Jews have the right to be so proud.</i>Foxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.com
