Israeli social-entre­pre­neur David Kramer takes us on a jour­ney of Israel’s human­i­tar­i­an efforts that began close to 69 years ago and con­tin­ues unabat­ed through­out the world today. In his col­lec­tion of over 40 sto­ries per­son­al inter­views and press releas­es David lays bare the benev­o­lent and altru­is­tic sides of the Israel nation that have been most­ly hid­den beneath years of cen­sure and denun­ci­a­tion. While cit­ing details of his own per­son­al jour­ney from South Africa to Israel, David engages the read­er with nar­ra­tives that iden­ti­fy a more real­is­tic per­spec­tive of life in Israel and pro­vide a glimpse into the inner soul of the Israeli peo­ple. From res­cu­ing vic­tims in the after­math of nat­ur­al dis­as­ters world­wide; going under­cov­er to help peo­ple in need in hos­tile dic­ta­tor­ships; pro­vid­ing life-sav­ing solu­tions to peo­ple in the third world; exer­cis­ing the high­est lev­els of moral­i­ty in com­bat zones; sup­ply­ing untold amounts of aid to its Pales­tin­ian neigh­bors in spite of the ongo­ing con­flict; ral­ly­ing togeth­er in times of need at home; pro­tect­ing the envi­ron­ment and so much more, Unit­ed Nation cap­tures the unique lev­el of con­cern benev­o­lence and uncom­pro­mis­ing desire for the pro­tec­tion and wel­fare of human life with­in Israel today.
