I've Been Thinking:

The number of humanitarian messages I have received from Israeli groups and social agencies offering help to the people and causes compromised and left unable to care for themselves in the wake Hezbollah's bombs is overwhelming.

One agency is sending children in the war zone to summer camps across the rest of Israel.
Other summer camps are going out to find children from the north on their own and inviting them to their facilities.
Another group is sponsoring family hospitality for families in need.
One organization is actually collecting abandoned pets and asking citizens throughout the country to step forward and adopt these animals who would otherwise starve to death. They suggest that there are thousands of stranded pets in the war zone.

It's inspiring.
A nation under attack from katyushas has the moral and ethical grounding to care not only for the people but also for displaced and abandoned pets.

I know that the same cannot be said of Hezbollah.
