The Lie:

Israel is a pariah state that inflicts suffering on others and refuses to provide humanitarian aid.

The Truth:

Israel is a global leader in disaster relief — deploying world-class doctors, engineers, and rescue teams to crises on every continent to save lives and rebuild communities.

Background:

Israel has a long record of leading global disaster response. For decades, Israeli teams have deployed worldwide within hours of major crises.
In 2025 alone, Israel sent: Aid to Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa, Rescue teams to Thailand after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake, Medical and hygiene supplies to South Sudan during a cholera outbreak, Firefighting assistance to Cyprus during massive wildfires
Each mission reflects Israel’s founding commitment to the sanctity of life, a principle shared by its army, its people, and its government.

Truth Explained:

In October 2025, IsraAID and Chabad of Jamaica delivered clean-water systems, food, and trauma counseling after Hurricane Melissa, one of the most powerful Atlantic storms ever recorded. Times of Israel, Oct 30 2025
In August 2025, Israel’s Foreign Ministry ordered emergency aid to South Sudan, including medical kits, hygiene supplies, and food packages, to fight a cholera outbreak. Israeli MFA, Aug 21 2025
Since 1953, the IDF has carried out 37 humanitarian missions around the globe — from Greece and Haiti to Nepal, Japan, and Turkey — setting up field hospitals, rescuing thousands, and treating tens of thousands of victims.This is especially remarkable when you consider that Israel is home to just 10 million people. Despite its small size, Israel stands as the world’s leading disaster responder relative to its population. IDF.gov.il, Aug 2025
During the 2023 Turkey earthquakes, Israel’s Olive Branches delegation rescued 19 people and treated 470 patients in a full-scale field hospital. IDF.gov.il, 2023
In March 2025, Israel sent elite search-and-rescue teams and advanced equipment to Thailand within hours of a 7.7-magnitude quake near Myanmar. Jerusalem Post, Apr 1 2025
Over the decades, Israel has aided over 60 countries — including Muslim and Christian nations alike — from Rwanda and Kosovo to Haiti, Japan, and Greece. Jerusalem Post, Apr 1 2025
Even within Israel, programs like Save a Child’s Heart show how Israeli hospitals routinely care for Palestinian and Arab patients regardless of politics or conflict. The organization has treated over 6,000 children from 65 countries—including 3,000 Palestinian children from Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and East Jerusalem—many from nations with no diplomatic ties to Israel. Times of Israel, Nov 22 2022

Quotes:

“Can anyone argue that the same country which saves lives worldwide is guilty of systematic murder?” — Cookie Schwaeber-Issan (Jerusalem Post, Apr 1 2025)
“IsraAID is proud to be able to build on our regional presence and expertise to launch an urgent response.” — Michal Bar, IsraAID Senior Director of Emergency Operations (Times of Israel, Oct 30 2025)
“The IDF values human life and helps those in need, regardless of their location.” — IDF Humanitarian Missions Report (IDF.gov.il, 2025)

Takeaway:

A nation devoted to saving lives across every continent cannot be accused of genocide. Israel’s mission is to heal, to rescue, and to protect — never to destroy.
