'Respond to Hate With Love': Muslim Organizations Raise Thousands to Benefit Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Victims

Tony Branco
We need to hear of things like this to offset other judgments like anger over the murder of the Fogel family in Israel doubtful tears from the always-suspect CAIR:
" . . .CAIR! Nobody’s buying your phony messages of support to the Jewish community following the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre"More on this topic herehere, and, of course here: "Muslims Celebrated The Sep 11 Attacks". The Tunnel Dweller
'Respond to Hate With Love': Muslim Organizations Raise Thousands to Benefit Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Victims  "As Pittsburgh continues to reel from a tragic weekend, a Muslim-led effort has begun a crowdfunded campaign to raise money for the victims of Saturday’s synagogue shooting.
"Posted on LaunchGood, a Muslim-focused crowdfunding site, the effort aims to help support the short-term needs of victims and their families by raising money for medical bills, funeral costs and other expenses after a gunman stormed services at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue, killing 11 and wounding 6 before being captured by police.
"The charity drive has already been a success, with organizers claiming to have raised an average of $2,000 per hour since launching the effort on Saturday. Within six hours, the campaign had already reached its initial goal of $25,000. In less than 24 hours, it had broken $50,000.
"Two Muslim-led nonprofits, CelebrateMercy and MPower Change, organized the fundraising drive in partnership with the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh and the Tree of Life Synagogue, which will work together to distribute the funds to victims and their families." . . .

Sad: Jewish Doctors, Nurses Put Their Personal Feelings Aside to Help Save Synagogue Shooter's Life
“He was taken to my hospital and he’s shouting, ‘I want to kill all the Jews,'” said Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, president of Allegheny General Hospital and a member of the Tree of Life Synagogue, Fox News reported. “The first three people who took care of him were Jewish.”
One of the nurses who came to Bowers' aid, was a Jewish nurse whose father is a Rabbi.

This from Israel National News: Muslim groups raise money for synagogue victims
"Crowdfunding campaign by two US Muslim groups has raised almost $80,000 for surviving victims of Pittsburgh synagogue massacre."
. . . 
“The Pittsburgh Muslim Community extends our deepest sympathy and condolences to the victims, their families, and all of our Jewish brothers and sisters,” said the statement.
Earlier on Sunday, the 11 victims of Saturday’s deadly mass shooting attack were identified.
"Eight men and three women were among the dead, authorities announced, including 71-year-old Dan Stein, 75-year-old Joyce Feinberg, 65-year-old Richard Gotfried, 97-year-old Rose Malinger, 66-year-old Jerry Rabinowitz, 59-year-old Cecil Rosenthal and his 54-year-old brother David Rosenthal, 84-year-old Bernice Simon, Bernice’s 86-year-old husband Sylvan Simon, 88-year-old Melvin Wax, and 69-year-old Irving Youngner.

The gunman, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, was reportedly inside the synagogue for roughly 20 minutes, shooting congregants and guests." . . .

How sad that supporters of the anti-Israel Obama call President Trump, courageous friend and ally of Israel and the Jews, is being viciously attacked by Democrats. TD
