1. Why don't the 22 Arab nations help their brothers???
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.28.07)
Arab patients are transferrred from Gaza for help from Israelis who risk their lives to do so on a daily basis whilst the Palestinian Authority call daily for the murder of Jews. Jews save the lives of Muslims - Muslims respond with murderous hate. May G-D comfort the family of Oshri Oz who was murdered whilst the Arab baby was saved by Jews.
2. very good
(05.28.07)
its nice to know the itraelis will sometimes overlook "race' and help an innocent being.
3. So what do Jew haters say about that?
Micha   (05.28.07)
that the Jews are obligated to do this? In our minds, yes, we are. But don't you dare tell us what we obligated to do. You, unfortunately, have no moral ground to stand on. Learn from our example and perhaps you can better yourselves. Otherwise, you are seeing the beginning of your own demise. The choice is yours.
4. why
Jeffrey ,   Netherlands   (05.28.07)
20 years later, this baby will be a member of Hamas, Fatah, IJ or at least anti semite and anti zionist
5. Thank you Israel for the life of the arab child.
(05.28.07)
6. @4 or the next negotiator, peace embracer, cooperator
Suzanne   (05.28.07)
But yes, I also wonder why - of all countries - they need to go to Israel; the country they hate so much, and why Egypt e.g. is not helping them instead.
7. A great story
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.28.07)
of course this will never make it to the European press or Al-Jazeerah. but regardless I am glad Israel could save the life of this infant.
8. Hey anonymous..
Micha   (05.28.07)
you never write your name..that's classy. So, sometimes??excuse me, but Jews extend a hand to all sorts of people. Have you heard of some of the Sudanese refugees? At least Israel let some in while your Egyptian brothers persecuted them. You're disgraceful and a selfish group. We all know it. Even you. what have you done for your fellow man recently? List your accomplishments.
9. No. 2 - its not overlooking race - -
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (05.28.07)
and it isn't sometimes - you pig - its overlooking the fact that Palestinians think we don't have a right to a country of our own and we are not a nation and want all of us dead. Of course we help arab babies - all the time not sometimes. Its not a matter of race, its a matter of humanity that we know all about in this country. Its the ethic of our people and our country. We are the only country in this region that would behave this way, despite the Israel hating bullshit that is so in fashion these days.
10. build hospitals in gaza
David ,   Paris, France   (05.28.07)
If Gaza population was searching peace and building hospitals instead of rockets and weapons to strike Israel, perhaps their population wouldn't need care in Israel.
11. Makes sense I suppose
Steve ,   USA   (05.28.07)
B"H If surgeons want to perform this charity, I think that is beneficial to Israel. Mazel Tov.
12. Fear not
ben ,   singapore   (05.28.07)
My breath is always within you. Fear Not ! Haggai speaks to you, child, do not fear my darling. I hold you in my arms and hold you near to my heart ..my love, be healed,receive healing now . To the Isareli Doctor, please heal the children, and to Magen David Adom Ambulance Services, you have the STAR of all stars, Thank you :)
13. More actions like this will make peace
USA ,   US   (05.28.07)
and congrats to Israel for doing this. This is what should be reported more. GOOD and kind actions. Making the place abtter world.
14. #1 because Isreal want to show off that they are very
(05.28.07)
sympathic and to hide the truth about themselves of cruel act they are presenting in Palestine...
15. #10 we did but isreali destroyed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
(05.28.07)
16. So they do have a heart after all !!!
rh ,   Modiin   (05.28.07)
Then there is hope for the next genreration. All Palestinians with hearts full of hate should receive treatment from Israel.
17. #2 you are disgusting
rachel ,   usa   (05.28.07)
you know very well that they do this all the time ....
18. 'Judgement is mine" says GOD!
jilani ,   seattle, wa   (05.28.07)
Palestinian MD's dead, Isreal overstayed their stay as I as a palestinian gave refuge when everyone else kicked them out. Now...they want to be the map? Judgement is mine - says GOD.
19. The baby will be the 1st in it's class to strap on a bomb
malcolm   (05.28.07)
20. Used to be an every day occurrence
Ilan ,   Ariel   (05.28.07)
I remember someone coming into my office, a Jordanian looking for someone, and escorting him to where he needed to go (not my job, but he didn't speak Hebrew). Every ward had Palestinian patients and they were treated like the other patients. When we don't have to worry about Palestinians exploiting freedom to come into Israel to harm us then those days will return.
21. humanity at its best
peter mochama ,   nairobi kenya   (05.28.07)
it is a remarkable thing that israel is able to overcome hate and do such a sacred thing...can the palestinians do the same? do they have any remaining sense of humanity in them? how can they indiscriminately keep firing rockets at israeli population areas? are they still huamn beings?
22. It is a peaceful message!!!.
Talal ,   Gaza   (05.28.07)
.. oki. Hsrael used to help sick Pals on one hand, and massively punish the whole pals just because there are a very limited number of them are " trying" to hurt israelis. isn't a problematic issue?.
23. #14 don't judge Israel by the company you keep
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (05.28.07)
24. #14 There would be PEACE if PA Muslims imitated Jews' Ethics
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.28.07)
Why don't the 22 HUGE Arab nations help their Arab brothers?? Blessed with an over-abundance of massive lands and great oil-wealth, Arabs have more than enough land and wealth to take the very best care of their Arab brothers. It is tragic that tiny Israel's continual acts of kindness towards Arabs are NEVER reported in the Arab and Muslim world and world media. Venomous hate for Jews is spewed forth continuously by the Palestinian Authority and Arab nations via mosques, media and public education systems. Wicked lies and horrific blood libels about Jews are presented as the truth - there is no fear of the One great G-D of the Universe - the G-D of TRUTH. Pslam 47 For the L-RD Most High is to be feared, a great King over all the earth.
25. #16 yeah a fake heart, or shoud i saw to show off heart....
(05.28.07)
26. #23 I hope u tell same thing to #19.......
(05.28.07)
27. Send to Egypt
Jeffrey ,   Boston, USA   (05.28.07)
Why not send the baby to Cairo? Let the Egyptian brothers show how much they love their Pal brothers. Anyway, this baby will only grow up to hate Jews and aspire to kill them. What a waste.
28. #2, #9
israeli ,   israel   (05.28.07)
Israel actually provides medical assistance for Arabs: a woman from Saudi Arabia was successfully treated for tinnitus; babies from Gaza, Iraq undergo surgery for life-threatening heart conditions, an Iraqi physician with severe wounds sustained during the second Iraq war was transferred to Israel. Unfortunately, many of these patients are of the opinion that they were actually helped by Allah who gave these doctors the ability to help them.
29. Where are all the stories of Arab drs. saving Jews?
THAT would impress ,   me more, USA   (05.29.07)
30. Has any other country EVER done this?
Zvi   (05.29.07)
Pick a country that is fighting a war in which a second country is trying to destroy it, actively launching rockets at it across the international border on a daily basis and killing its citizens through terrorism and outright military attack. Now, has ANY such country EVER accepted babies sent to it by that country for treatment? In all of history, has anyone else done this?
