2. #1 and where is the Isi ?
it takes some brains   (06.03.07)
The signatures on the hospital's mission statement are in Latin letters, NOT in Hebrew the same as yours! The mission statement was regarded as a worship ritual so they did not bother making them in Hebrew. But the highly likely thing is that they did NOT know and did NOT use Hebrew. A nation without a day -by day used-language and more WITHOUT a land. By a little experienced eye you can just see that there are no landmarks on the photos' back-ground. The back ground is either sky or ground, the same you can get anywhere in the planet earth! Just some brought-for-occasion plants and chairs! What a Proof to found a STATE on!
3. hadassah organization

I dropped out of my hadassah chapter 12 years ago when I was the only one who kept shabbat, while they planned non kosher potlocks, and I realized the leader of my chapter never put a mezuzah on her doorpost, and they were raising funds for palestinian children's causes. Not what it used to be.
4. What amazes me about this...
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (06.03.07)
is the stark and vast emptiness of the nearby terrain. Compare that with the appearance of Jerusalem today. (I would urge Ynet to post side-by side). This photographic evidence destroys the canard that the Paleos somehow lived in a garden paradise only to be displaced by the Jewish usurpters.
5. #2 You missed the point
(06.03.07)
#1 is pointing out a lack of apparent outward theft. The land appears unsettled. If you examine unbiased history carefully, you will find many such examples - stories of Jews turning the negleted Israeli deserts into thriving gardens are no mere myths.
6. to #2

Actually, the signatures are in Hebrew cursive script, not Latin script. Clearly it is you who cannot tell the difference.
7. Dad filmed in 1958

We visited in 58 and 59 with Lola ( then President of Hadassah) and Siegfried Kramarsky, and Rabbi and Mrs.de Sola Poole. My father filmed the construction of the university but also I believe views of Hadassah hospital, Herzliya with its four-story buildings and about four city blocks, the orange groves around there and the camel market at Beer Sheva. Those were the days!
8. Hadassah
naomi ,   Delray Beach, U.S.A.   (05.22.09)
I commend you for keeping the faith.ie., Kashruth..but..please keep in mind Henrietta's goals...and those were to help everyone regardless of beliefs. I am President of my Hadassah Chapter & I could not be more proud of how our members (Shomer Shabbat & of course Kasthruth observers) rally around Hadassah & Israel. Please remember, Hadassah is a Zionist organization NOT religious like B'nai Akiba. Also, you should know that the Chief Rabbi of Israel had gone to see Ben Gurion at his home. But, he noticed that there was no Mezuzah on his doorpost & refused to enter. Ben Gurion said with a smile..."ISN'T IT BETTER THAT I HAVE IT IN MY HEART?" The rabbi then apologized (for embarrasing Ben Gurion entered his home and joined him for tea. Hadassah has ALWAYS HELPED PALESTIANIAN children, it's just that you know more about it. Again, that's the whole idea of Hadassah...Tikum 0len.
