31. take care of sick minds too!
eliezer ,   jerusalem   (04.21.08)
if they want their own state, let them take care of their own people. Why are we to blame, maybe Egypt should care for them; they are Arabs!
32. Hamas' Choice: Hospitals or Weapons
emanon ,   USA   (04.21.08)
The Arabs choose to buy weapons for use against Jews instead of building hospitals for their own people. Now they are realizing that in spending like this, THEY ARE HURTING THEIR OWN PEOPLE. So what do they do? Instead of spending in the name of peace, they blame the Jews. Fact is, Hamas / Fatah does not care about saving human life, only killing, hurting and letting people die. Imagine how many hospitals, schools and productive businesses could have been established with the money spent on spreading hatred instead.
33. Re Medical Treatment
Marty ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.21.08)
Why don't they go to the Yasser Arafat Memorial Medical Centre established by his loving wife Suha with all the millions of dollars of international aid? Now I remember ...there isn't one because she is in Europe enjoying the good life with all the money!
34. Send them to hospitals in Egypt!
Safta M ,   ISRAEL   (04.21.08)
35. Pigs and Monkeys
joseph ,   Israel   (04.21.08)
According to Hamas, the Jews are pigs and monkeys. Why would anyone want to be treated by pigs and monkeys? As a bonus, Hamas could declare that these sick people are Shaheeds in the Jihad, and the people of Gaza will the celebrate their deaths instead of mourning them.
36. Tom # 24 says it all
Umm Danny ,   Israel   (04.21.08)
We are not a rich country, and must devote our medical resources to our own citizens. A population on our borders which encourages murderous attacks on our people and suffers the self-harm inflicted by Hamas policies, has no right to demand that we care for them.The "Human Rights" crowd are blind to the far worse situations in Africa, Pakistan etc. etc. deserving of their attention, and just focus on Israel.
37. And what seems to be the problem?
Wise Saba ,   Western Negev   (04.21.08)
There are hospitals in Egypt.
38. """Human"""" rights - wow- did I miss anything here?
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (04.21.08)
39. Crying For Israeli Help.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (04.21.08)
The Gaza Arabs should feel ashamed for firing Kassam rockets to kill Israelis -- the very same people the Gaza Arabs want medical treatment from. IT is amazing to notice that the Gaza Arabs are crying for Israeli help -- while at the same time wishing the destruction of Israel. THIS shows that the Gaza Arabs are misdirected, totally confused -- almost bordering to lunacy. CONCLUSION : If the population is already in such a condition (i.e. misdirected, confused), the Gaza Arab leadership MOST certainly will be in a WORST condition.
40. To Anon #25. I Guess Patients Rights.
(04.21.08)
The answer to your question is : in order to blow up Israeli hospitals.
41. Thank Hamas for this..
John ,   Amsterdam, Holland   (04.21.08)
don't blame Israel for trying to protect herself. Besides: we aren't obligated to even allow ONE patient.
42. Imagine
Lina ,   USA   (04.21.08)
The help and assistance Israel could provide if Palestinians stopped terrorizing Israelis. If they were ready to make peace instead of bomb hospitals, buses and attack innocent people. And after all their murderous attacks, they have the nerve to accuse Israel of not being humanitarian enough. It's about time they built their own hospitals instead of using their money for terror then begging Israel for help.
43. This is actually really good PR for us
5th generation ,   Israel   (04.21.08)
41 talkbacks so far, and not much whining about the IDF. Certain issues just magnify the absurdity of Palestinian psychological warfare to a degree even anti-Israelis can appreciate.
44. Of dangerous delusions
michael mazur ,   brunswick australia   (04.22.08)
"Kodem kol, kol goyim hayot." No, i don't know Hebrew, but i know it means,"First of all, all non jews are animals". Because i'm not a Jew, you guys had better start thinking properly, as there you say i'm an animal just as your Golda Meier saw Palestine as a land without people. Since you have treated Palestinians in every non human way imaginable these last 60years, don't complain that as epithets they call you pigs and dogs. Don't forget, you have murdered 60,000 of them, and as many maimed over this 60 yr period, and i see all this as a religious commandment based on ancient mutterings and incantations invoking your fictional Yahweh entity as authority, or as later elaborated by your priesthood, justifying all manner of obscenities committed against other people. I have read all 43 comments and, as always, fulminating psychosis is the hallmark of just about all of them - i wonder if you can see it ? As you do to Palestinians you do to Iraqis, thru your stupified American proxy, you will do to us when you can. May you come to understand before then that it is not the commandments of Yahweh which are being obeyed, but as he is your creation, you can longer deceive yourself in this modern era as to who is responsible.
45. Cry me a river
S.Scott ,   San Francisco, USA   (04.22.08)
Seriously, Cry me a river PHR. The Palestinians fire rockets indescriminantly into Israel, they have people who have admitted to taking advantage of the medical passes in order to bring about death to the Israelis, and you are complaining that Israel doesn't grant permits fast enough? They are lucky Isreal grants permits at all, or that Isarel treats them at all. Seems to me they should be thanking Isarel for the 1,500 patients from PA that were treated in the last few months instead of complaining that not enough is being done.
46. PHR asserts numbers
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.22.08)
47. I hate to burst your bubble
udq   (04.22.08)
But it's obvious that this culture has to leech off another culture to survive. A Palestinian state will be a failed state.
48. To M. Mazur #44. You Are What You Are.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (04.22.08)
You write :".. invoking your fictional Yahweh entity as authority,..". If YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, is a fiction -- then your existence has NO meaning. IF you are a Christian -- you SHOULD be ashamed of calling yourself a Christian. WHY ? Because Yahweh, the Supreme Lord, is the foundation of the Bible. HOW so ? Because Lord Jesus Christ said that he is the Son of Yahweh, the Supreme Lord. IN CASE you are a Muslim -- the Koran contains 700 verses from the Torah. IF Yahweh, the Supreme Lord, is a fiction -- then the Koran is ALSO a fiction. WHY ? Because the Koran contains 700 verses from the Torah. You write :".. you guys (i.e. the Jews) had better start thinking properly ". IF someone calls you 'this' or 'that' -- it doesn't change who you are. You are what you are. What the Jews think of you -- is of NO importance to who you are. IF you take seriously what others (i.e. the world) think of you, and as a consequence of that you become depressed -- that means that you have a LOW self-esteem.
49. #44 talk about psychosis .....there are some pills for you .
