I work as a paramedic with the Israeli branch of the Red Cross. I am proud to say that medicine is still one part of my country's society that is not politicized. I, a Jewish medic, work with Christian and Muslim medics to save lives of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Being a medic, I have a profound appreciation for all life and am trained to (instinctively) save lives, not to play God and treat Jews and non-Jews differently based on political beliefs and such. I know that Israel now recieves children from Lebanon, Iraq and other 'enemy states' as part of the 'Save a Child's Heart' program.
Whereas groups like Hezbollah seem to find it acceptable to play the role of God and to kill people who are Israeli or not Shia, Lebanese, etc, I am of the belief that the only person/thing that should result in a person's death is G-d/nature.
To cut to the chase, do you think that joint medical care/research programs could eventually serve as the basis for peace between Israel and Arab countries
