In the course of the last Intifada and during the Second Lebanon War, all citizens of Israel were exposed to waves of terrorism that claimed many people wounded and killed, unrelated to religious differences, age, gender, or nationality: Jews and Arabs suffered alike. The acts of terror exposed all inhabitants equally to injury, suffering, and the need to adjust. The professional literature attests that minority groups are at a higher risk of experiencing post-traumatic symptoms as a result of exposure to acts of terror. This article describes the treatment with terror injured, Jews and Arabs, in the frame of the project for terror victims at Rambam Medical Center, in cooperation with Operation Embrace. It also covers the project intervention with casualties of the shooting incident in the Arab town of Shefaram, with the cooperation of Shefaram Social Welfare department. The psycho-social work conducted with the injured, Jews and Arabs, emphasized their similarities, their common fate, and the fact that any of us could be injured in a terror act or a war. The suffering, the loss, and the hurt are common to us all. At the same time, the interventions referred to cultural differences and the diverse ways of coping with the aftermath of the events, based on values, faith, and outlook on life arising from cultural background.
在最近的一次起义和第二次黎巴嫩战争期间，所有以色列公民都面临着恐怖袭击的浪潮，这些袭击造成了许多人受伤和死亡，与宗教差异、年龄、性别或国籍无关：犹太人和阿拉伯人同样遭受了苦难。恐怖行为同样使所有居民都面临受伤、痛苦和需要调整的风险。专业文献证明，少数民族因接触恐怖行为而遭受创伤后症状的风险更高。本文描述了在 Rambam 医疗中心与“拥抱行动”合作的恐怖受害者项目框架内，对犹太人和阿拉伯恐怖受伤者的治疗情况。它还涵盖了与阿拉伯城镇谢法拉姆枪击事件伤亡人员合作的项目干预情况，谢法拉姆社会福利部。与犹太人和阿拉伯受伤者进行的心理社会工作强调了他们的相似之处、共同的命运，以及我们任何人都可能在恐怖行为或战争中受伤的事实。我们都共同承受着痛苦、损失和伤害。同时，这些干预措施提到了文化差异以及基于文化背景产生的价值观、信仰和人生观的不同应对事件后果的方式。
