Good News From Israel: Last week was filled with news comprising one of Israel’s main goals – to repair the world. But in case you were swamped by negative stories, here are some of the uplifting highlights.

The saving of innocent life is the top goal for Israelis. Whilst the death toll in Syria’s civil war rises, Israel continued to treathundreds of Syria’s wounded at its medical centers and IDF field hospital. Meanwhile, the IDF Medical Corps and the American Air Force Medical Department signed a pact to share and develop techniques and technologies that will save lives during humanitarian rescue missions. Away from the battlefield, thanks go to the anonymous donor who responded to an urgent request on Janglo – one of Israel’s favorite information boards. Doctors at Israel’s Beilinson Medical Center transplanted his kidney into a desperately ill mother of five in Ashdod.
Israel’s humanitarian goals have just received a major boost at the United Nations. Israel joined the Western States UN human rights sub-group and has also been awarded observer status of the UN Pacific alliance. It has already begun to help address global social and humanitarian issues. Israel is simultaneously providing aid to hundreds of individual countries, such as supporting Jamaica’s economic recovery by helping turn the island into a global logistics hub.
Israel’s water technology underpins the Jewish State’s goal to eliminate drought. EU’s President totally missed the point that if our neighbors truly sought peace, there would beample water supplies for the whole region. Israel’s brand new Sorek desalination plant can produce 624,000 cubic meters of water a day, but ironically EU policy prevents European countries working with Israel to build facilities to treat Palestinian Authority wastewater. Israel is also working to eliminate famine. Take a trip to the Vidor Family Visitors’ Center in Israel’s Arava to see how a desert has been transformed into the jewel in the crown of Israeli agriculture.
The goals of Israeli medicine are not only to save life, but also to alleviate suffering. Israel’s Medigus is launching its flexible endoscope for the treatment of acid reflux. The simple outpatient procedure can benefit over 16 million people with acid reflux who do not respond to medication. And Israel’s LabStyle Innovations is distributing its Dario blood glucose-monitoring device in Australia, which will make life much simpler for some of the 1.2 million Australians officially diagnosed with diabetes.
United with Israel
