1. THE PALIS HAVE NO MEDICAL CENTRES???
stude ham   (02.15.08)
This incident underscores the utter bankruptcy, corruption, and idiocy of the Palestinian war against Israel. They have no health centres capable of taking care of their own people and are relying on their supposed enemy Israel for that service. This incident only proves the tragedy of the anti-Israel hatred that has gone on far too long.
2. Mercedes and corruption
Hiram ,   Paris   (02.15.08)
Too many black mercedes-benz ( this helps playing "big-shot") within PA. Not enough ambulances. If you put together all the money stolen by the Great leader Arafat , his wife and the band of maffiosi surrounding the head of PA is the last few years ( Momney given by the EEC in particular ) it should have been enough to by AT LEAST one ambulance for each town......even each village !
3. wait a minute...does Israel exist for arabs or not?
Marcelo ,   Frankfurt   (02.15.08)
If arabs do not recognize Israel, why do they go to israeli hospitals?
4. War Is Hell: Nobody Told The Philistines To Start One.
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (02.15.08)
And to use their ambulances to transport weapons, suicide bombers, and so on MANY times.
5. In situation of needs for extra security, people who
Suzanne   (02.15.08)
can deliver first aid should be standing near checkpoints as well. Furthermore the Palestinian Authority should do more to encourage cooperation between Israeli hospitals and doctors and theirs. The PA is doing nothing in order to help their own people! On the contrary. It'd rather let them die at checkpoints so there will be another excuse to blame Israel.
6. Blame terrorism.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.15.08)
Another unfortunate consequence of terrorism. They love to shift the blame & responsibility to Israel - but our responsibility is to protect OUR citizens. Their welfare is of secondary concern. Let them complain about such incidents to the terrorists instead of using such incidents as propaganda against us.
7. How to sell every death as a victim
Maks ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.15.08)
No, it wasn't the traffic which killed the woman. No, it wasn't the horrible Palastinean medical system which killed the woman No, it wasn't her nephew who is a doctor in the very same village where she died who didn't help her Of course it is no one else to blame than the "Israeli occupation forces". Golda Meir was right when she said "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us"
8. Pals dont mind death at ANY age,as long as they can take
Alan ,   SA   (02.15.08)
at least one Jew with!
9. THE PALS HAVE TO GO TO HAMAS FOR MEDICAL CENTRES !
ben shlomo ,   singapore   (02.15.08)
IF THYE CAN SHOOT ROCKETS, SURELY THEY CAN HAVE THEIR OWN HOSPITAL. CRY A RIVER BLAME THE WORLD ! PALS BLAME YOURSELVES !
10. Palestinian hospitals
real vision ,   usa   (02.15.08)
Why wasn't she treated at a palestinian hospital....Obviously the palestinians do not value medical education nor the time and costs to set up a hospital. Sorry but palestinian values and terror threats cause this to happen. May the palestinians awaken to understand the value of peaceful coexistence
11. Israel the merciless
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.15.08)
12. even if p.a. liars were telling truth, blame is theirs
dante ,   uk   (02.15.08)
there are checkpoints because of terrorists. no terrorists, no checkpoints. it's simple. and, for the morons and the malign that would argue that terrorism is the result of the fact that Jews live in Israel, the only decent response is that Israel has been the land of the Jews for thousands of years, before the arab military invasion of Israel. Israel: the same land, the same people, the same language, the same religion as 3,000 years ago. there are 22 arab countries with vast territory and enormous resources. it is time that they left the Jews alone in their small land.
13. WHY DOES YNET BRING THE SAME STORY EVERY WEEK?
m ,   Toronto   (02.15.08)
What is the motive behind? Maybe to show how bad the Jews are? How about the woman who was receiving treatment at Beer Sheva hospital and she tried to detonate herself as a thank you note to her doctor? Lemmings!
14. The Arabs keep attacking us and launching wars against us...
Gary   (02.15.08)
and then cry to the world when there are casulaties on their side. The solution is simple. The Arabs must accept Israel is here to stay and stop their terror and incitement. Then no-body will ever again be hurt!
15. Great! Arabs who occupy our land deserve no healthcare.
Antonio ,   Haifa   (02.15.08)
When they die we laugh. HAHAHA, MAY ALL OF HER FAMILY DIE FOR THE SAME REASON!
16. Blame Israel???
Natan   (02.15.08)
With the money that your "great leader" Arafat stole from you and the money that your current leaders steal from you every day, You could have had a hospital in every village!!! So while you are dying , Suha is shopping!!!
17. #10: The saddest irony
5th generation ,   Israel   (02.15.08)
is that once they are trained, they make fantastic medical professionals, complete with excellent bedside manner. What a waste.
18. # 10 RIGHT ON!
Petra ,   usa   (02.15.08)
she's a victim of the pals indifference to their own human life. they buy rockets when they should have invested in hospital care. Expect more publicity from these brainless idiots!
19. blamestorming
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.15.08)
i wonder how much the family is getting paid for this publicity stunt? this poor woman died of heart disease, not "israeli checkpoints". if anything, she was killed by "palestinian health care". why haven't the palestinians built decent hospitals for their own people with the billions that they have received in international aid money? why are they busy fighting against the "occupation", when they are totally dependent on israel for the most basic necessities, including health care? it was the "intifada" that created the checkpoints, and continuing terrorism that keeps them in place. but in spite of all their commitments, the palestinian anarchy has fulfilled none of them, to stop terrorism, or to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure, or even to stop incitement and hate mongering. why do they not take responsibility for their own self-defeating strategies? and why are the palestinians using such the unfortunate death of this woman for anti-israeli propaganda?
20. Build Hospitals instead of Shahids !!
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (02.15.08)
21. #15
Johannes ,   Berlin, Germany   (02.15.08)
I hope not all Israelis have a disgusting character such as yours. Your statement is sick. I wonder if Ynet would publish a statement that mocks the death of a Jew and wishes death upon his kinship? I doubt it.
22. Why Don't The Palestinians Send Their Sick
tinashkuli   (02.15.08)
to Egypt? Jordan? Syria? etc. After all, their goal is the destruction of Israel, who would they expect to take care of them then?
23. Cry me a river will ya ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Al   (02.15.08)
24. #Johannes, Deutscland.I think all Israelis r like Antonio:(
Deer ,   Balkans   (02.15.08)
25. You folks...
David Cohen ,   Jerusalem   (02.15.08)
are so ignorant and blinded by your racist hatred that you failed to realize the central issue.... She wasn't trying to get to an ISRAELI HOSPITAL but rather to a PALESTINIAN HOSPITAL in the WEST BANK...
26. Blame it on the terrorists
Mordechai   (02.15.08)
If the Palestinians arrest and jail all the terrorists, end all violence against Israel then they will not have to worry about checkpoints. However as long as they support jihad, use ambulances to transport weapons then their people will die. Not Israels problem. Its the Arabs problem because they caused the situation.
27. The Price of terrorism
David ,   Houston   (02.15.08)
Like all frequent travelers, my productive life has been effectively shortened by many days due to the hours spent waiting in security lines in airports, the cause of these delays are Arab terrorism. As a direct result of Arab terrorism, we all have to suffer delay, lines, removing our shoes on dirty floor, body searches and other humiliations world wide! Considering that the Israeli checkpoints are a direct result of Arab terrorism from Judea and Samaria, there is no justification for complaints from the Arabs. No Arab terrorism would result in no security checks.
28. so much hate
cecile ,   france   (02.15.08)
so much hate in all these reaction do you realize that it's with all these litlle drops off hate that you build a war. If we want peace, we should take our responsabilties
29. TO 21, 28, 24
M ,   Toronto   (02.15.08)
Before your hearts bleed anymore, these are the people who have been keeling our children, nay TARGETING OUR CHILDREN for kill for years. Hard to find sorrow for them in our hearts. Anyone remembers MAALOT, the school targeted by Arafat's terrorists more than 30 years ago? Sbarro pizza? Ice cream parlours? pregnang woman in car with 3 children? 2 children hiding under the bed and mother? Do you want more examples?
30. first off, a little more infrastructure building and a ...
jared ,   orlando us   (02.15.08)
little lest bomb, rocket, and mortar building would have allowed long ago for their own medical centers to be established. They are paying a price for their choices of the past. Second, depending upon the nature of the heart condition, it may be just as likely that she still would have died as it is that she would have survived. Third, if it werent for the fact that pals have chosen violence as their any and all means of addressing their grievances, when their do exist other choices, checkpoints and tightened security would not be necessary. And, the woman may have lived
