Israel's "humane" society...

The compassion shown for animals may well surpass that shown towards Israel's Arab population...

Last week, Israel's High Court voted to uphold a law denying Israeli citizenship or residency not only to Palestinians married to Israeli Arabs, but also to spouses of similarly distasteful nationality (Lebanese, Iraqi, etc).

I read the news of the court verdict on the Haaretz website, where it was offset by another breaking headline of a more compassionate nature: "Serbian vulture set free after treatment at Israeli veterinary hospital".

According to the article:

The vulture was found injured at Kibbutz Lehavot Habashan in northern Israel, and was rushed to an Israeli veterinary hospital specializing in wild animals. There, the bird was diagnosed with multiple gunshot wounds.

Following two months of treatment, the vulture was set free. The Serbian embassy in Tel Aviv was reportedly "delighted to hear about the bird's recovery, and Serbian diplomats attended the release of the Serbian 'patient' back into the wild". Full story...
