  1. Israel is helping them too, as are some Arab countries. Canadian, European and middle eastern news is reporting on their travails as well.

  2. Maybe the only US news source. It is all over the Israeli news sites. Perhaps that is because the quake was felt there as well, or perhaps it is because Israel was the first country to respond, not just with medical aid, but with earthmovers. (That Cat, shown removing rubble was probably one of many, sent from Israel. And they are also reporting on helping Syrians, as well. So are BBC (UK), CBC (Canada) and DW (Germany). Other countries are less myopic. These channels are also discussing the poor building codes, which allowed so many to die, as their home pancaked.

  3. What a idiotic comment, as many more than NATO countries have responded. The first country to send aid, and the only one to send earth movers to remove rubble, Israel, is not in NATO. Nor are the many Arab countries, who've sent medical aid.

  5. You don't think Turkey lying on the Anatolian Fault has more to do with it? Where seismic plates abut each other, there is often a lot of activity, and Turkey straddles Europe and Asia.
