以色列一直被台拿做居安思危,教育,以寡等教育的典,在一大火侵之下,完全暴露其不周,只心外的入侵,忽土保安的措施。
是以色列的悲,但是令我十分心。因台一直到解除戒之後年,整家的建或是教育,都是反攻大,心以色列要防阿拉伯家的心似。台是否也有足的土保安措施能力?二一大地震是一,八八是一,次我都付出了痛的代。但是之後是否真能改善呢?
我的防教育,防有加?是上兵,任的委,就了事了呢?
台是天仍的家,,地震... 加上候的,各防,救的工作更加重要。以色列的大火我一很好的警惕。

Facing Fires, Israel Appeals for Help
JERUSALEM A fire that killed 41 people in the parched north of Israelcontinued to rage on Friday, turning into the worst natural disaster inthe country’s history with thousands of acres burned, thousands ofresidents evacuated and a dozen countries rushing planes, helicoptersand personnel to offer aid.
The Carmel Forest around the port city of Haifa, normally rolling hills carpeted in pine, was an apocalyptic scene,with rows of blazing trees, the sky crimson from flames soaring dozensof feet, and embers flying for miles, smacking the car windshields onnearby roads. Relief workers, overcome by smoke, lay sprawled on theground.
“We are in a very harsh event,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahusaid at an emergency cabinet meeting in Tel Aviv. “We have more than 40dead. People are missing. People are injured. Many perished inadmirable courage and sacrificed themselves in order to save others.”
Israel, which often provides doctors and aid workers for disastersabroad, had never before solicited such international help. Aid arrivedfrom across the region on Friday, and may have even led to a slightopening in the diplomatic standoff between Turkey and Israel.
After Turkey sent two helicopters and said it would coordinate NATO’s relief efforts here, Mr. Netanyahu called Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey to thank him. It was the highest-level contact between the two countries in months.
“We very much appreciate this mobilization, and I am certain that itwill be an opening toward improving relations between our twocountries, Turkey and Israel,” Mr. Netanyahu’s office quoted him assaying.
But Mr. Erdogan said Turkey’s efforts should not be interpreted as a diplomatic opening.
“In the face of such a natural disaster, we needed to help as ahumanitarian and Islamic requirement,” Mr. Erdogan was quoted by hisoffice as saying in reply to Mr. Netanyahu. “Our planes will remain inyour country until the fire is brought under control.”
Mr. Erdogan was quoted by Turkish media as saying that relationsbetween the two countries would remain chilly until Israel apologizedand provided compensation for the deaths of nine Turks, including onewith American citizenship, when Israeli commandos boarded a ship thatwas trying to break the Gaza embargo in May.
Turkey was not alone in pitching in despite diplomatic difficulties with Israel. The Palestinian Authority, whih cut off American-sponsored direct peace talks with the Netanyahu government two months ago, sent fire trucks.
In addition, Bulgaria sent about 100 firefighters, and Egypt, Jordan,Spain, Russia, Romania and Azerbaijan sent equipment. The United Statesmade available 20,000 liters of fire suppressant chemical, its embassyannounced. President Obama offered condolences and more help, saying, “That’s what friends do for each other.”
As night fell, pilots had to interrupt their missions of dumping waterand fire retardants until daybreak, said Micky Rosenfeld, a policespokesman. He said 17,000 people had been evacuated and 7,000 acresdestroyed.
The blaze, whose cause remained unclear, broke out at midday Thursdayand spread with an unpredictable and ferocious speed, witnesses said,fed by strong winds and the driest conditions in years. It quicklyoverwhelmed Israel’s 1,400-member firefighting force and raiseddifficult questions about preparedness in a country that likes to thinkit is ready for anything.
The government said it was investigating the possibility of arson, butPolice Chief David Cohen said at a news conference that it was morelikely that the fire had been caused by negligence.
Some commentators called for the resignation of the interior minister,Eli Yishai, saying that the drought and heat this year had producednumerous calls to bolster the firefighting force, and that those callswere ignored. Mr. Yishai said there would be an investigation into theadequacy of fire preparations.
Israel is one of the few countries whose tree population has grownmarkedly in recent decades, with tree-planting a common act ofdedication in the Zionist movement.
Mr. Netanyahu acknowledged that Israel had none of the firefightingaircraft needed for the disaster, and he thanked the countries that hadresponded. He pledged to restore the north and to acquire the neededequipment.
Almost all the fatalities were caused when a bus carrying prisonservice officer cadets to help evacuate a prison was engulfed inflames. The Haifa police chief, who was driving ahead of the bus, wascritically injured.

Israeli firefighters, above, took a break on thesecond day of battling the blaze in the Carmel Forest, which by Fridayhad killed 41 people and displaced 17,000 residents
Haifa University and a psychiatric hospital were evacuated. Livestockon communal and other farms were moved, but many animals remained atrisk.
Aluf Benn, a columnist for the newspaper Haaretz, wrote on Fridaythat the blaze was the equivalent of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, meaningit was a disaster for Israel because the authorities were unprepared.
“Interior Minister Eli Yishai, who is responsible for the firemen, andthe head of the Fire and Rescue Services, Shimon Romah, were nowhere tobe found yesterday,” he wrote. “They are obvious candidates for losingtheir jobs as a result of the disaster.”
Mr. Benn also noted that international standards required onefirefighter for every 1,000 citizens, but Israel has one for every10,000.

司:以色列的地火(江春男)
2010年12月07日果日以色列北部海法市附近卡梅山生60年最重的森林大火,40多人活活死,4000公林木被焚,人逃家。以色列史前例的求援助,保加利、希、西班牙、英、美、俄斯、埃及、尼和土耳其均承提供援助。是以色列立60年,非期平民死亡最多的一次。
事大火束手
一如往常,以色列媒和政客,理坦雅胡大肆批,要求相部罪,多阿拉伯媒幸,之「天」、「地之火」。卡梅山十公里,俯瞰海法港,面地中海,景色宜人,上面有多五星酒店、豪墅,也有多阿拉伯基督徒村。今年特乾旱,野火一不可收拾,山火和澳洲及洛杉相似,但似乎生在以色列就有了的味道。大火逼近海法市北部,局派出有十名警的大客前往,撤500名囚徒,但火很快上客,前面又有大倒下,40名警被活活死。以色列面上,卡梅山,各救援直升穿梭回,地中海取水往倒,大火之,地面一片黑褐色。一在天上布星的家,一可以派在千里外行狙任的家,一出售各先科技武器的火大,一常有反恐安全和危防的家,同也是在火生七小之後,全消防就用光的家,家的消防之古老,可以追溯到上世,以色列被大火掉了子。真正的人不在外面
以色列是心,肌肉,握拳的家,但一事超大一山火束手策,好像是一寓言,真正的人不在外面而在面。
