Although Israel has yet to see any cases of the deadly Ebola virus, staff at Ben-Gurion International Airport have begun taking precautions to ensure that flights coming from Africa do not bring in infected passengers. Despite these measures, Israel does not seem to be in a panic over the epidemic, and the country is sending mobile clinics to Africa to help locals efforts to fight the virus. What accounts for the difference in attitudes to Ebola between Israel and the United States, where fear of the virus is widespread? What precautions should be taken regardless of the threat level? And will the Israeli medical teams in Africa pose a threat to the nation's health care workers and general population upon their return- Columnist Ruthie Blum believes Israelis are more concerned about war and regional violence than they are about contracting the virus.
