The defects of a baby’s heart, reveals the defects of a global body
When the Syrian and Cypriot Ambassadors to the UN raised their hands in December 2017 to vote against the United States in the UN’s General Assembly for recognising Israel’s capital as Jerusalem, another drama was playing out in Israel.
While on the Wednesday the Syrian and Cypriot hands were raised in hate against Israel – Israeli ‘loving’ hands on Friday – those of medical doctors – were helping a two-day-old baby born to Syrian refugee parents in Cyprus.
The baby was flown to Israel Friday night – on the Jewish Sabbath – for a life-saving operation in an Israeli hospital.

Votes of Infamy
While 128 countries – including Britain, France, Germany, and Japan – voted on the 20 December – last day of Chanukah – the Jewish ‘Festival of Lights’ – for the UN resolution defaming the Jewish state, and defiling the principles of the UN charter, plans were being made for a special medically-equipped plane to bring the Syrian newborn to Israel. This followed the Cypriot Health Ministry contacting the Israeli Ambassador in Cyprus, Sammy Revel, urgently appealing to fly the baby to Israel for medical treatment after being born with a severe heart defect.
Three days after the infamous vote against Israel, the Syrian baby was admitted to Sheba Medical Center’s neonatal intensive care unit at Tel HaShomer Hospital near Tel Aviv.
“In Cyprus, they are unable to provide every type of complex medical treatment for children, including heart operations,” said Dr Itai Pesach, Deputy Director of the Sheba Medical Center children’s hospital, on Saturday.
“The baby is currently in intensive care, and we have diagnosed a complex congenital heart defect. He is only three-days-old and is expected to undergo heart surgery tomorrow or the following day. After surgery, he will need to remain here for some time for monitoring,” Dr Pesach added.
While Syrian and Cyprus were communicating hate by their votes, Israel was communicating love to the Syrian baby from Cyprus. While the Syrian ambassador recently remarked “it’s illegal to speak to Israelis”, it was perfectly legal for the Syrian baby to arrive in Israel with his Arabic- speaking father who was met with a team of Israeli Arab-speakers “so we were able to communicate with the baby’s father,” said Dr. Pesach.
While the world’s ambassadors at the UN spewed venom against the Jewish state, Israel’s Foreign Ministry praised the quick cooperation that enabled the Syrian baby to come to Israel for treatment.

While the world prays for Israel’s demise, “We pray for the baby’s good health and will keep saving lives,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon on Saturday.
Week of Revelations
What a difference a week makes in learning about countries and the people who represent them!
During the week that Israel was caring for a baby from a country that has never desisted from its aim of Israel’s destruction, the world voted!
It voted not for the ‘construction’ of a Palestinian state, but the ‘destruction’ of the Jewish state.
The UN vote exposed less about Israel and more about the UN!
Just consider the hate beneath the veneer of tailor-made suits.
The UN General Assembly vote was not directed only at the “Jewish” state – that vote was earlier in the month – NO, this diabolical vote was directed at a fellow member state – the USA – for supporting Israel. After ostracizing Israel, the next step was alienating Israel – it should not have any friends – not even one!

Sound familiar.
Is this not the tried and tested methodology of the Nazis – to first vilify and alienate.
Ask one simple question:
Would the UN have voted against another member state for supporting Palestinian claims of sovereignty to Jerusalem?
Of course not.
We know this so assuredly from the two UNESCO (United Nations Education Cultural Organization) resolutions that were passed in 2017 – in April and October – by big majorities ignoring Jewish ties to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
Where was the outrage? Was this not an impediment to the peace process, as advocated by those vocal against the Trump position on Jerusalem?
Resolutions & Revelations
Any Jew, religious or not, as well as any historian of stature, would scorn a resolution about the Temple Mount that fails to acknowledge – or intentionally omits – the Jewish People’s connection to what has been its holiest site for over 3,000 years.
And the fact that even countries such as France, Italy, Kenya and Japan – ostensibly friends of the Jewish state – could not bring themselves to vote against such a blatant distortion of history, reveals their true colours.
And in a week, that crept ever-closer to Christmas in time if not in spirit, it was South Africa, the so-called “Rainbow Nation” that showed the ‘True Colours’ of that ‘rainbow’ when it voted on Thursday to downgrade the South African embassy in Israel.
It was a week of resolutions and revelations with a simple explanation for the positions taken – anti-Semitism, despite what BDS and its nefarious comrades-in-arms might otherwise argue.
That pumping pulsating heart of anti-Semitism is beating at the UN headquarters in New York as it did at the ANC conference in Gauteng.
But what is also beating is the heart of a two-day-old Syrian baby that would have stopped beating were it not for an Israeli hospital.
On this Christmas 2017 AD, Israel expresses to the world in the Hebrew vernacular of Jesus:
(“LaBriut”) – “to health” – לבריאות
