Magen David Adom is Israel’s emergency services system, saving all lives in Israel – Jew, Arab, Christian, Muslim, Druze, Bedouin. Their 3,500 staff and 34,000 volunteers represent all in Israel too. Yasmeen Mazzawi, an Arab Christian who visited Auschwitz as a teen to understand her Jewish neighbors and colleagues, is one example. After her full-time job as a business analyst, she volunteers 16 hours a week as a paramedic in Nazareth. She has rushed into the danger of northern communities hit by Hezbollah rocket shells.
