Yes.

Mexican Army, Mexican Navy, Canadian Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard, amongst others. Not just flags, which wouldn't have been an issue with the Israeli contingent anyway, it was medical aid, but warships, air assets, et al.

You must admit that it makes sense that our closest neighbors to the south and the north would be in a position to offer immediate aid logistically. The articles that were linked in the original article left much to the imagination, had too much conjecture and no 'sources' were even named. The one u linked to was an opinion piece by Diane West which also stated that the Israeli diplomates got their feathers ruffled because the US put their request for 22 biilion dollars in military aid on hold after the hurricane struck. I just think it serves no purpose for folks to run around looking to get their noses all out of joint for every perceived slight to Israel like Diane West apparently does. Frankly, I am surprised that Powerline gave such credence to an opinion piece with no substantial background or evidence.
