Website title:

A Palestinian friend of mine told me a true story about how his uncle in a refugee camp, reeling from an invasion of Israeli tanks which killed several innocent people, with several other men helped to turn back a U.N. truck at the gate which was carrying food and medical supplies with "United States" printed on the box. His son later died hours later of wounds which could have possibly been treated had the U.N. convoy's medical supplies (marked "U.S.A.") been allowed through.

I'm sure he wanted to save his son and as much as you would have in that situation, except this noble man did not want to do it with medical hand-outs from the country supporting those tanks which injured his son to begin with.

As I said before, you have no idea about honor.
