NAHARIYA, Israel — The 3-year-old girl cried “Mama, Mama” over and over as a stranger rocked her and tried to comfort her. She had been brought from Syria to the government hospital in this northern Israeli town five days earlier, her face blackened by what doctors said was probably a firebomb or a homemade bomb.

In the next bed, a girl, 12, lay in a deep sleep. She had arrived at the pediatric intensive care unit with a severe stomach wound that had already been operated on in Syria, and a hole in her back.

Another girl, 13, has been here more than a month recovering from injuries that required complex surgery to her face, arm and leg. She and her brother, 9, had gone to the supermarket in their village when a shell struck. Her brother was killed in the attack.

Israelis have always impressed me with their humanitarian concern for their neighbors, far beyond what those neighbors deserve.

Even the Palestinians know to go to the Israelis when they need medical help.

It’s always been this way.

Even when non Jews were permitted into the country to work and then left for home, daily... many of them were using the Israeli tolerance and coming into Israel just to detonate bombs

Question. Will those poor children, having sought and receiving extensive medical care and treatment from the hated ISRAELIS, be in any danger from the fanatics of their own world? Frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
After all, it could be a matter of family HONOR.

Asked what she will say when she goes back home, the aunt replied: “I won’t say that I was in Israel. It is forbidden to be here, and I am afraid of the reactions.”

"Of course you'll have the good taste to keep this to yourself?"

"Of course."
