Haitian Above Arrested for Looting For Food - Had One Carton of Powdered Milk - taken out of a Destroyed Store!! Survival Needs - people are being arrested for?!
Honestly, I have been watching Haiti's aftermath of the horrendous earthquake and have cried a few times, due to their situation.
I am a very strong person - but I will admit - their situation has made tears come to my eyes.
It has also caused me to reflect on the "what ifs".
What if this Earthquake had happened on another "more affluent" Caribbean Island.
Would it almost be one week of people not actually getting desperately needed supplies and basic necessities of life - like food and water? Would the life essentials be air dropped constantly around the island if the roads were impassible to deliver those life saving needs?
Would the U.S. military be taking control of the island sending troops to "control" the people?
Would the U.S. deny Doctors without Borders the right to land so they could ultimately help the people?
Would the UN make doctors abandon patients at a make shift hospital - due to them thinking the situation my become dangerous, due to the people's desperation to survive?
What happened in Haiti is horrible from the earthquake, but what is happening now is HORRENDOUS and SICKENING!
In my opinion, they want the people to start rioting so they can clamp down on them and try to turn people's compassion to them to distrust and make people think Haitians are dangerous.
There is NO GOOD REASON - that the people of Haiti have not have the most simple life saving items air dropped for them to survive!
The actions of the U.S. and U.N are not actually seeming humanitarian at all - but more of an invasion and capitalizing on the Haitians disaster. If they were actually meaning to be humanitarian then they would not be making a Big show of getting things to Haiti - but not actually getting the items to the people to save their lives.
I am so sad and disgusted at what is "really happening" and how the people have not gotten what they need yet.
Tomorrow will be 7 days times since the earthquake occurred.
Now who knows what disease is taking place and more needless deaths, due to the people not getting medical care, water and food.
Stop and think - would the Elite on another island be treated like the Haitians are being treated?
AS WE TREAT OTHERS AND WE DO TO OTHERS - SO SHALL BE DONE TO OURSELVES!
God Help those Who are in Need and Guide All to Do the Right thing!
Not One of us are Better than Anyone else! We are ALL The Same deep inside - We are Souls of Light - We just all look different and are Living Different Lives at this time!
No Elite is Better than a Haitian - I am no Better or Worse than any other Soul on this Earth Either!
Helping Others, Helps Ourselves!

ReplyDeleteI am surprised and disappointed that Israel’s usual critics have not written letters about Israel’s latest disproportionate response.
I am speaking of international assistance to Haiti after the catastrophic earthquake on Jan. 12.
China, population 1,325,639,982, sent 50 rescuers. Israel, population 7.5 million, sent 220 (rescuers) on Jan. 15, with another team following on Jan. 19.
Our own country, six days after the quake, had yet to set up its field hospital to deliver anything more than beds and first aid.
Israel had an operating field hospital set up within hours of arrival and had, as of Jan. 20, treated 367 injured, performed 104 life-saving surgeries, and delivered seven babies.
As much as six days after the initial earthquake, their rescue teams continued to pull living Haitians from the rubble.
Tiny Israel unfortunately has cutting-edge experience in search and rescue as well as emergency medical care, owing to the many suicide bomb and rocket attacks perpetrated against it by those who would destroy it. Yet it makes lemonade out of lemons, sharing its life-saving expertise with any country in the world who needs it and asking nothing in return.
There is no possible gain for Israel in this latest instance; Haiti is a desperately poor country that can give it nothing. Prime Minister Netanyahu said: “This is ... the Jewish ethic of helping one’s fellow.”

It is so sad what is going on in Haite. Where did all the billions of dollars go, for fod, water, medical supplies etc.Please help the people of Haite. They are hungry and thirsty, and have nothing.
