Arab First-Responder Talks about Jerusalem Terror Attack
(Jerusalem Post) Judy Siegel-Itzkovich - Veteran Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedic Fadi Dekidek was on the front lines providing life-saving medical treatment to those injured in the shooting attack in Jerusalem on Friday night. Dekidek hails from the Beit Hanina neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem. During his nearly two decades in an MDA uniform, Dekidek has seen "many terror attacks." "I checked the pulse of the victims. All the wounded were in the street, and there were those who died on the spot." He hasn't yet been able to visit the wounded people he helped save, but said he hopes to do so. "The difference between a culture that glorifies terror and one that works hard to heal is education," he said. "I'm sure you and the public all know that MDA is in a state of its own for co-existence. Jews save Arabs. Arabs save Jews. I think it's an example for the whole world."
