First responder: Meet IDF medic who treats wounded Syrians

[Lipush]

Sgt. Mayan Yogev is probably the busiest paramedic in the IDF: As part of her role as paramedic for the Nahal's scouting brigade, which patrols Israel's Golan Heights on the Syrian border, she has become the IDF's first responder along what has recently becomes Israel's most pressing border region.

After a number of strenuous months, during which she took care of hundreds of wounded Syrians, she and her brothers in arms will head south for training. "During the last months she has seen things that your average paramedic sees in a decade," a senior Nahal commander said.

Sgt. Yogev, a 20-year-old from Kibbutz Tzova near Jerusalem, does more than offer care for wounded Syrians. As a combat-paramedic she has also participated in IDF operations along the volatile Syrian border, including ambushes, fighting side-by-side with the elite male soldiers of the Nahal.

"We weren't surprised," said Yitach, Yogev's brother, "she has a strong character which allows her to deal not just with painful sights but also with difficult challenges without reservation or fear.

"When she returns home she goes out and has a good time, she speaks of how much she believes in what she is doing, no questions asked. She tells us how she meets people in dire need of help, and does not embellish stories as heroic. Even as a high school student, she knew she wanted to have a meaningful period in the IDF, offering help and saving lives."

The hardest thing for an Anti-Israel asshole terrorist apologist to do, is to admit Israel does good things.

No biggie.

Israeli media keeps parading around and photo opping the one syrian they've treated in the last couple months.

Nobody believes it, they just laugh. The only ones who take it seriously are the brain dead zionists who swallow every hasbara propaganda piece put out by israeli Ministry of Truth.

 

[Sunni Man]

Reich minister Joseph Goebbels is the 'Father' of modern Israeli propaganda.

The zionist juden learn the craft directly from him and then turned it into an art form.

Israel owe's Herr Goebbels a hugh debt. ..

Typical haters gonna hate comment

I can only laugh at people like you who talk as if they know what they are saying

Are you there?? Are you by the Israel-Syria border? Do you have anything to back up your statements???

 

[toastman]

All you have to do is ask the anti - Israeli Jew hater to back up their statement, and they run away with their tail between their legs

 

[R.C. Christian]

Israel is so good. A testament to humanity. Makes me want to masturbate.

I used to think like you when it came to Sunni Man

but then I realized he's nothing but a little troll who gets off by reading the responses he gets from the Holocaust posts he makes.

Best thing is to ignore him, and he'll soon piss off.

Does Israel News?

Thats what I thought


Stop whining already, you're getting annoying.

I've already learned that no matter what positive things Israel does, the anti - Zionists and Jew Haters will ALWAYS do and say what they can to delegitimize it.

When there was that huge earthquake in Haiti, Israel sent relief packages AS WELL as relief personnel. So go ahead and look for something negative to say about that

Many countries did. The difference was those other countries didn't ramp up their propaganda machine to create a 1000 media articles on how wonderful they were for doing so.

Japan tsunami too is where Israel helped. Israel goes to areas in the world of natural disasters and offers aid.

Israel's double standards over Haiti

However, for all that Israel's sterling work overseas deserves to be praised, it highlights the lack of compassion shown by the country's leaders to those suffering on its own doorstep. Israel's insistence on doing next to nothing to alleviate the suffering in Gaza while rushing to Haiti's aid exposes just how far they are prepared to stray from the religious teachings to which they claim to adhere. Likewise, when Zionist movements such as Bnei Akiva trumpet the achievements of Israel's relief teams as representative of the entire Jewish people, they inadvertently tar all Jews with the same brush when Israel's frequent violations of international law are brought to light.

Israel should shoulder its responsibility to help countries such as Haiti along with all other states fortunate enough to have the manpower and resources to assist in such a mission. Every nation which has done its part to alleviate Haitians' plight should be praised for their work, but neither they nor their supporters should be allowed to hide their other, less favourable actions behind the efforts they have made in Haiti.

Questions should be asked about why Israel – which has proved itself incredibly capable when it comes to responding to certain humanitarian crises – is so intransigent about assisting the Palestinians. If, as many claim, Israel's leaders believe it to be in their long-term interests to slowly strangle Gaza's economy and destroy its infrastructure as a means to topple Hamas, it is a reprehensible way to behave. It is a damning indictment of Israel that it is prepared only to come to the aid of those who fit certain political critieria, rather than that of every victim crying out for intervention.

Israel was not at war with Haiti.

Israel not always a force for good in Haiti

But it seems the Israeli involvement in the nation was not always so positive. On Dec. 27, 1982, the US newspaper Christian Science Monitor reported that since 1968 Israel had sold weapons to two Haitian dictators-Francois Duvalier, who became president in 1957; and his son Jean-Claude Duvalier, who succeeded him in 1971. The two, known as "Papa Doc" and "Baby Doc," controlled and terrorized the country with a private army. On March 27, 1983, the New York Times reported that Israel was among the few countries that had agreed to sell weapons to Baby Doc, and provided him with the long-term payment arrangement that he requested.

Paul Farmer, who would serve as President Bill Clinton’s deputy UN representative to Haiti, previously reported that Gen. Prosper Avril, the head of the military junta that took power in Haiti in 1988, received temporary asylum in Israel in 1990. Avril was the head of Baby Doc’s notorious "Presidential Guard," and a US court ruled that he was responsible for "scandalous human rights violations." He would later serve prison time in Haiti for his crimes.

In 1990, four years after Baby Doc was ousted from power, the popular priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide was elected president of Haiti-in the first democratic elections the nation had seen. But in 1991 he was deposed in a military coup. Britain’s The Independent newspaper reported Oct. 14, 1991 that about 2,000 Uzi and Galil machine-guns from Israel were sent to Haiti in the weeks prior to the coup-with diplomats claiming the weapons went to military units especially loyal to the coup-plotters.

According to an Aug. 1, 2005 report in Jane’s Intelligence Review, weapons of Israeli origin were being smuggled through Florida and ending up with armed gangs in Port-au-Prince in this period-some in collaboration with the junta, and some opposed.
