It's
the Times of Israel, who reviewed the organizations behind immigration across the Mediterranean.
The magazine focuses on the Jewish so-called Central Welfare Board of Jews in Germany.
The group has started a collaboration with other aid organizations so that "Ocean Viking", the only currently operating lifeboat between Libya and Italy, will be able to continue its operations.
The Times of Israel rightly states that "Jewish money helps keep rescue missions on the Mediterranean afloat".
"We as a Jewish organization feel obliged not to be a spectator in a situation where there is a humanitarian crisis happening right in front of our eyes, especially when it is so close to Europe," Central Welfare Board chief Aron Schuster told the Times of Israel.
According to Schuster, his organization acts on the basis of so-called human rights, but also on "Jewish values", as he puts it. He then refers to the Holy Scripture Talmud and explains that saving a life is like saving all of humanity.
The magazine has also spoken to Laura Cazes, project manager at the Central Welfare Board of Jews. She points out that immigration has long been a central issue for the organization and for the larger Jewish congregation - even before the Holocaust. Previously, it was about helping Jewish immigrants to establish themselves in Germany. But now, when so many immigrants come from Africa and the Middle East, the organization wants to use their knowledge to assist them as well.
In addition, the Israeli "humanitarian organization" IsraAID has been assisted and helped to set up a branch in Germany. IsraAID, in turn, has brought social workers, psychologists and specially trained trauma experts to help immigrants on the spot in Europe. Some of the experts speak Arabic, which is considered rewarding because many of the immigrants speak that language.
At the same time, Aron Schuster says he is aware that there are Jews who worry about immigration from the Middle East to Europe, as anti-Semitism is considered more common among these groups. However, he believes that anti-Semitism is everywhere, and regardless, it is important - he points out in the newspaper - "that the fear of anti-Semitism does not justify being a spectator of a humanitarian crisis".
For its work, last year the Central Welfare Board of Jews was awarded the prestigious national integration award by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, writes the Times of Israel
