Sharma donates blood because that’s what Aussies do
It is with great pride that we tell you that Australia’s Ambassador to Israel Dave Sharma was so shocked by the terrorist attack that he travelled to Jerusalem and donated blood at the hospital treating the injured.
“That’s what people in Australia do (give blood)in response to a major human tragedy,” Sharma told The Jerusalem Post.
On Wednesday he drove from his home in Tel Aviv to the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem where he also enquired about the condition of the wounded.
After donating blood, Sharma went to the Har Nof neighborhood and visited the scene of the previous day’s carnage.
The synagogue had been cleaned up, but just being there gave him a sense of what had taken place, he said.
He also spoke to some of the congregants, including several who usually attend morning services, but who for some reason were not at prayers on Tuesday morning when the massacre occurred.
We are proud to say that Dave Sharma is our Ambassador in Israel.
