Arie   (03.16.06)
New and novel approach to finance the failing PA? Maybe Suha Arafat could give up some petty cash to help the woman and her kids?

To call that a hospital is an insult to hospitals.
7. The Twilight Zone
Richard ,   New York, USA   (03.16.06)
Dr. al-Hassan calls taking babies hostage until hospital bills are paid "normal procedure." What world is this man from? I hope Jews aren't paying the bill for this craziness.

12. "normal procedure."?
linda   (03.16.06)
Maybe normal for you, but not for real doctors!
13. This Must Not Be Suffered!
The White Shadow   (03.16.06)
The child must be removed at once from the hospital. Children are never to be considered collateral.
14. # 11
Nota Budinsky ,   Shiloh   (03.16.06)
What does your intrusive and presumptuous question have to do with this report? The YNet editors know best, not you. And, besides, it's not your job.
15. Collecting money
C Foster ,   USA   (03.17.06)
(Shakes head) This should show you that these people DON'T value life at all. Life to them is not important. Money to them is more important than family. It disgusts me how they can keep a baby from bonding with the mother and wanting the debt to paid off before taking her baby home. When the child grows up, I wonder how the mother would explain to him/her how his/her birth went? Was there a contract signed before having a baby saying that you cannot take your baby home until you pay the debt? This really needs to be investigated and who knows how long this has been going on. There might be babies still there as hostages for money. These people should be arrested!
16. BBC were having a party-unbelievable
yael ,   Scotland   (03.17.06)
the BBC first published that story saying it's an Israelie hospital -some of the responses were really bad putting Israelies down but when the BBC found out it was an Arab hospital they took the story down with no apology or correction. so as you see the BBC has no morals when it suits them
