Embattled Syrian dictator Bashar Assad has threatened to destroy Israel if his regime is attacked by the US. This despite the fact that Israel has saved the lives of many Syrians wounded in their nation's civil war.
The Israeli media recently reported on a Syrian grandmother who fled with her nine-year-old granddaughter to Israel because Assad's troops had blocked all roads to the hospitals in Syria. In Israel, the girl received the life-saving treatment she required.
Needless to say this wasn't, or was hardly mentioned in the western media.
The names of most of these victims cannot be published because eventually they have to return home to Syria.
Another Syrian in an Israeli hospital told Israel Radio that he had nothing bad to say about Israel: "Assad is the one that caused Israel and Syria to be divided.
Most Arabs in Israel, the Golan Heights and Palestine [sic] are originally from Syria. If the borders were open, we would have the freedom to visit one another."
The director of one of the northern Israel hospitals, Prof. Yaakov Farbstein, stressed that his doctors treated all patients equally, regardless of where they come from. "We see in each a patient, and nothing more. It is our duty and responsibility to help people in need."
