For a powerful first hand experience of Israeli charity , and how it compares with what passes for charity in the Arab Muslim world, just read the above-mentioned Brigitte Gabriel's moving personal story from her great book.Roger W.

And am eagerly awaiting your report.<BR/><BR/>MK: Darn right! Both Judaism and Christianity are very explicit on Charity. You give regardless of the nationality or religious faith of the person. Only Islam has that stipulation.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181742352259947602.post-66563324594548498462008-05-16T04:56:00.000-05:002008-05-16T04:56:00.000-05:00"That is because Jewish law is explicit on charity..."That is because Jewish law is explicit on charity."<BR/><BR/>Doesn't really matter what the law says, Israel doesn't have to help, but they do because they are also good folks.<BR/><BR/>Can a Jew expect the same treatment from the followers of the religion of peace and tolerance? Unless you're some sort of stupid leftist born last night, hell no!<BR/><BR/>"It is all based on lies and falsehoods."<BR/><BR/>Is there anything the left and their allies, militant & intolerant Muslims do that is not full of lies and falsehoods.MathewKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385674205383405783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181742352259947602.post-80868276633317975802008-05-16T02:44:00.000-05:002008-05-16T02:44:00.000-05:00After dinner one evening I complained ot my friend...After dinner one evening I complained ot my friend Ehud that my hand was really itchy and sore, and further that I had a strange black spot on it. He said I should see a doctor, which I brushed off, not having a doctor or money to pay for a visit to a hospital. I kept scratching the itch and the spot got bigger and blacker tot he point Ehud said he'd walk me over to the clinic for foreign workers. I didn't resist. I got there and sat in with a dozen or more people while Ehud told the girl that I had a sore hand. No big deal.<BR/><BR/>The receptionist looked me over and went back to her work. My finger had gone black by then, and soon all of my fingers were itchy and black, and the girl asked if i was all right. I said yes. SShe asked a second time a few minutes later, and i shrugged and didn't do anything. The third time she didn't ask: "You go right now!" She was out of her chair and hauling me into a doctor's office and showing him my hand, by then the size of a football, black as my leather jacket, one couldn't see fingers any more. The doctor panicked. He'd never seen anything like it. He got on the phone and started talking so fast I couldn't understand a word. Eventually a guy came in and started looking and probing and yelling "sheeshnan shoom." Meant not a thing to me. <BR/><BR/>He gave me a shot, gave me a bunch of pills, and then started talking to all the staff at the clinic, he being some big-time specialist from the university hospital. I got more pills and a ride home. I was off work for a week. I'd been bitten by a spider.<BR/><BR/>No one asked me to pay the minimal payment for my visit. A famous doctor from the university didn't blink about saving me. No one begrudged anything about me. They save at least my hand and very likely my life and didn't ask anything about it or expect even $5.00 for the fee. What kind of country is that? <BR/><BR/>I just returned now from a weekly meeting with people here in Vancouver, Canada. I'd like to leave a bit of recap about it tomorrow when I've had some sleep and get a bit of time to explain then what we do when we meet and why.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.com
