Romanian media are reporting that a team from Romania rescued a family from under the rubble in Turkey.
Chinese media are proud that a Chinese team rescued a pregnant woman.
The UK government issued a press release about the large team they sent to Turkey.
Algerian officials are proud of their rescue team.
So are Palestinians.
UAE media are similarly reporting on their own teams who have rescued people in Syria.
It is natural to be proud that your own people are helping others. Even local media in Los Angeles are showing pride that rescue dogs being sent by the US were trained in Ventura County.
Yet when Israel sends a massive number of experienced experts to set up a field hospital, and shows pride in helping save ten people so far, some people bristle.
Palestinian media have had multiple articles that say that Israel's rescue efforts are only for PR purposes, and they are not interested in saving any Muslim lives.
"Rabbi" David Mivasair calls it "cynical propaganda." Someone named Dan Easterman gleefully tweeted and defended, "Every time there is an earthquake or humanitarian disaster, Israel immediately tries to exploit the tragedy to gain political capital and improve it’s [sic] international image. The cynicism makes me sick."
This has been a theme for previous rescue missions, where "critics" even accused Israel of using the rescuers as cover for doing crimes in the disaster zone.
It is yet another case where Israel acts like every other country on Earth - and people single it out as being immoral.
Yes, this is the definition of antisemitism.

The pro-Assad regime Al Watan newspaper on Monday quoted a Syrian official denying reports it relayed a request for Israeli aid in the wake of the massive earthquake that shook the region.Earlier, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a request from Syria did arrive and that Israel was prepared to send tents and medical supplies and provide treatment for the injured.
Arabic media reports one of the denials:
The source said, "If Netanyahu had received such a request, it was certainly from his allies and friends in ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra and other terrorist organizations."The source added to the Syrian newspaper Al-Watan: "The Israeli occupation entity is the cause of woes, wars and tensions in the region, and it is the last one who has the right to talk about providing aid and assistance. It is disgraceful that Netanyahu exploits the catastrophe of the earthquake that struck Syria to mislead public opinion and cover up the expansionist and aggressive policies of the occupation."
Aid-washing!
The highest priority of any government is to protect its citizens. If Syria is telling the truth now, it is saying quite clearly that hating Israel is a more fundamental tenet than saving people's lives.
That's about as good a definition of antisemitism as there is.
It is exactly the philosophy of BDS, who claim to want to boycott Israel at any cost (for anyone but themselves.)
And just like BDS, the insistence that human lives are less important than having nothing to do with the Jewish state is couched in terms of - morality!
Isn't it strange that the rest of the world doesn't think this is strange? Syria and other Muslim nations having an obsessive hate of Israel is accepted as a law of nature.
And, in some ways, that's also a good definition of antisemitism.
