THANK YOU ISRAEL. forever friends. WE LOVE YOU.

After the Shoah, Italy was one of only two nations in the world that unconditionally accepted the refugees of the nazi onslaught. While the brits were purposely sinking ships carrying Jews, and even the US restricted the numbers of refugees allowed, Italy opened its doors and hearts. We thank you.

B"H Nasty, as one talkbacker put it, or not, I would still like to understand how scolarships are distributed and by whom, by Israel or by EU. All or almost all Israeli students in L'Aquila turn out to be Arabs. Why? Is there ethnic screening in the distribution of EU scolarships?

Care Italiani: I nostri pensieri e le nostre preghiere sono con voi in questo momento difficile. Vi auguriamo di guarire presto dei feriti.

since you have reminded us on numerous occasions of your commitment to Jewish ideals. There is a Talmudic precept which says that one who saves a single life is like one who has saved the whole world. For my part, like you, but unlike some others, I hope and pray you will be able to spend many more Passovers in Kfar Tapuah.

My heart goes out to these people. I pray for a mircle for those still not found. Israel shows great compassion by their actions. God bless them & the people of Italy.

B"H The Gmara talks about a.) Jewish lives and b.) "a world", not the "whole world".

This is not a surprise, Israel has helped many, including their enemies. Has the PA offered to help?
