Read talkback # 20

At this time of dire need, Israel will see who her real friends are.

I will "eat my words" when I know for sure that the help Turkey offered has arrived here.

I would'nt call it hatred, but truth. Maybe you can relax whilst northern Israel is burning, I cannot.

Don't be so smug. Lebanon isn't all that far away. You could get hoist by your own petard.

We don't get fires like that and if we did we'd need help from europe and the same countries that are know helping Israel.I send my best whishes and hope Israel loses no more lifes to this wild fire........Also ist only countries that are geographicly close to israel are viable for help,fire planes can't cross the ocean from the U.S

tks Turkey , Cyprus , Egypt , Greece !!!!

Your offer of help is appreciated, and I hope your equipment and dedicated teams will help put out this fire. May the future be free of disasters so that we don't have to send rescue teams to each other's countries, and instead send tourists and exchanges of culture, sports and academics.

who help us now. This is so much stronger than any number of words.

And this will be remembered.

It makese sense that neighboring nations be the first to offer and render assistance--if God forbid, the situation becomes much worse--I think the US would help. This is a tragic and dangerous situation, no doubt, but it is not on the scale of the tsunami or the Haitian earthquake that rescue teams need be sent from across the world. Help from Israel's immediate neighbors is more timely and necessary.

were to send a thank you to all of the countries helping Israel? I'm puzzled why you only mention Turkey? We are all grateful to Turkey and all of the other countries helping. G-D bless every one of these countries!

The the embassy of each country, in the US.

may be because of the title of the article?

I do hope he will be firm and reject turkey completely. What a nonsense talkbacker you are. You pander to softy, feeble minded weaklings...no character whatsoever!

Isral was always in the first 5 at helping to disasters in Turkey. As a Pro Israeli Turk I'm glad to see my citizens helpings Israel despite lates problems between these two countries. I pray for the people at that zone. I hope fire soon will be over. And helps like that which includes all nations reminds me that we are all humans who share same Earth.

Whenever there's a disaster in ANY country, Israel is ALWAYS one of the first to offer help. The Haiti earthquake in Jan 2010 is a case in point. The 2004 Tsunami is another example. So it's only fair that in Israel's hour of need, other friendly countries should come to her help. But what about our next door neighbour, Lebanon? Why aren't they helping? Where is their humanity? Or don't they have any. What about Syria? Why aren't they helping? I bet if the situation was reversed and there were emergencies in either of those two countries, Israel would offer what help they could.

Thank you to the various countries for responding to calls for help. After all this is over, the fire service must acquire 6 fire fighting planes, retardent and blocking materials for use against natural and terror caused fires in order to respond quickly. It must be obvious to all israelis, that bibi and lieberman have taken action quickly, decisively and with sincerity to deal with this fire. Unlike past situations specifically in 2006 where leaders dithered and stammered and made israel look weak, this team has done well, with no begging involved. Israelis especially the media should remember this fact during the debates ahead.This is exactly what we want in our leaders unlike in 2006.

As you see, several countries, including Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, are helping Israel to fight against the fire. I believe Brazil will also do it. What does it mean? Peace is possible, since radicalism, from both sides, be won. Alias, I visited Israel, last month, and my friendship for her has increased very much. God bless you and your suffered but strong people. Luiz Felipe Haddad.

infiltrate your country, what are you people nuts? Here he is speaking of your anhilation in joining forces with Iran, Syria, Hezbola and every other mental terrorist country and you let them help,

Thank You, Hristo, and Thank You Bulgaria for your noble gesture ! This is a real heartfelt help: 90 experinced Fireman will help to contain the fire and save many lives... God Bless !

about your ugly anti Israeli and anti semitic government. They were offering their no shame hypocritical supply of aid!!! They would have been more respected should they offer nothing. However, if people like you were in charge, we would receive it warmly.

My thoughts are with the families of all those who fell victim to the fire tragedy.
