While politicians and activists lambasted Israel for a \u201cdisproportionate\u201d response to terror on the Gaza border, Israel has actually disproportionately responded to some recent incidents around the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

First, <\/span>Israeli developed technology<\/span><\/a> has been used to help rescue the Thai schoolboys and their football coach, the <\/span>Israeli Navy has offered assistance<\/span><\/a> and proposed a plan to help them, and Israel\u2019s ambassador to Thailand <\/span>visited the site<\/span><\/a> at the request of Prime Minister Netanyahu to see how they could help.<\/span><\/p>\n

IsraAID<\/span><\/a>, a non-profit, non-governmental organization <\/span>deployed an emergency response team<\/span><\/a> to western Japan two days after torrential rains and floods began. And <\/span>Japan accepted Israel\u2019s offer<\/span><\/a> of a 50-member Medical Corps team, which was followed by a cargo plane carrying tons of equipment, including blankets, coats, and portable toilets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israeli officials and civilians continue to disproportionately <\/span>help those in need at the Syrian border<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Netanyahu has <\/span>offered to share Israeli technology with Iran<\/span><\/a> to alleviate their water shortage.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are just some of the disproportionate responses that too often are ignored in favour of knee-jerk condemnation of the Jewish state. And this doesn\u2019t count the disproportionate contributions to <\/span>medicine<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>agriculture<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>greentech<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>security<\/span><\/a>, and other industries that come from the tiny nation of Israel or the many other disasters that Israel has helped with around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
