Jewish mutual commitment

I was discussing the conflicts in the Middle East with Ken, a British professor of English literature at Kuwait University, whose services I used for editing specific reports in English at Focus Marketing, when he remarked:

"Jews treat each other like their own brothers and sisters. They apply their religious morality among themselves much better than Christians or Muslims would. Their contributions to their poorest communities are unequalled. I have heard that Jewish children are taught to give a portion of their savings to the rabbi who serves their community and helps those in need. At the same time, we see Muslims from Iraq and Syria begging at the doors of Europe on Greek and Italian islands, but we do not see any oil-rich Muslim countries welcoming their brethren!” He went on: "We sometimes criticize Zionists for what they do to the Palestinians. Now I wonder who is crueller? What do Israeli rulers do to them? Or what Arab rulers do to their own people? Which is more moral? Israel, where one rarely sees or hears of a Jewish beggar in the streets of Tel Aviv, or the Arab and Muslim world, populated by frightened beggars?"

“Frightened beggars” reminded me of what Ex-Chief of Israel’s Shin Bet, Ami Ayalon, once said: “The whole concept of Israel's Shin Bet is that we believe the kingdom is above the king. So we serve the people of Israel, not their king.”
