Israel has already sent 12 generators to help restore electricity to the country's residents, in addition to a medical delegation to aid the wounded.

The Cypriot President reportedly warmly thanked Peres and said that the people of Cyprus are extremely grateful to the people of Israel. He is also mentioned that he is working towards strengthening the cooperation and relations between the two countries.

America also has that problem, but is blissfully unaware unless something happens on TV. Cypress, however, is right in the cross-hairs along with us. They have to have their wits about them.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Thanks Eleutheria5.
