Israelis save drowning Iranians

[oberliner]

Excerpt:

The two lifeguards rowed towards the drowning men. "When we reached them they were already at the point of exhaustion," Nimrod noted."We loaded them on to the surf boat and kept rowing towards the shore, a kilometer away."

For 45 minutes the two battled against the winds and the waves with the swimmers on board. "When they came around and started talking among themselves I noticed they were speaking in Persian. I was born in Iran and speak the language. I told them in Persian: 'Don't be scared, you're in good hands," Shimshon recalls.

When they reached the shore the two, who introduced themselves as Mundar and Ali, hugged and kissed their rescuers and thanked them.

"When we told them we're Israelis they just got up and fled," Nimrod noted.

4. That is an inspiring story. Good for them!

Sadly, the Iranians probably had good reason to fear being seen in the company of Israelis.

In any case, the rescuers are real heroes.

5. Why didn't those evil Israelis just shoot the Iranians upon learning who they were?

Isn't that what intolerant, evil, racist, Arab hating, apartheid, Nazi Israel is all about?
