I've Been Thinking:
Continuing the theme of feel good news in the Middle East, a story about how Israel is helping people from other countries feel good - literally.
Just yesterday Israel approved a request for three Iraqi children to be brought to Wolfson Medical Center in Holon for treatment.
The children are aged 1, 4 and 5. They will be treated for heart ailments and hopefully, they will be cured.
This program has treated over 3,000 children from 44 countries. Since 2004 they have treated over 180 children from Iraq - and 50 of those children were treated in the past two years.
Israel has also taken in and treated at least seven Syrians hurt in their civil war. The number of Syrians treated in Israeli hospitals is probably much greater, but privacy and security issues do not allow Israel to release more details.
This is remarkably altruistic. This is what Israel does, quietly saving the lives of people in need, even people who come from behind enemy lines.
