Wow, that is a very powerful anecdote.
I will add that that generous spirit is really the animating spirit of the West in general. Most Americans (or Europeans for that matter...but definitely Americans) would do the same as the Israeli ambulance driver. It would be as natural as breathing to help that kid and her mother out, because that’s the way our culture works. That’s why I think the civilized world needs to rally around the Israelis now — because they share our values. They’re an outpost of Western decency and civility in a very rough part of the world and they deserve our support.
I couldn’t agree more with you.
