There’s no “political embracing” happening here – just a scarcity of information regarding Israeli aid organizations.

I asked readers to provide info on other relief agencies (refer to last line of the story), as my list was limited to the few I uncovered after a day of online research. Your comment prompted me to search again today – for groups specifically dealing with Israeli civilians injured and homes or hospitals destroyed by the current conflict, this time finding an effort underway in New Jersey, USA, to – link here (http://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/news/local/middlesex-county/2014/07/25/central-jersey-can-aid-israelis-palestinians/13182883/).

Let me know names of other established aid delivery organizations with on-site teams providing services at point of conflict and I’ll add them ASAP to the story list. Thanks for the comment –

Regardless of one’s political leanings, sadly civilians on both sides of the border are suffering, and could use some humanitarian assistance. You’ve ironically embraced the political aspect of the war by only offering your readers the chance to help one side.
