Why do we have to treat the enemy? How about freeing Gilad as a humane condition? Every humane condition is for the palis and not for us. This is a two way street and we should close the street.

before hamas took over, even before they decided to scupper the oslo accords and embark on their oh so successful intifada, people like this poor man could exit and enter gaza with much more ease and help. but hamas HAD to have it their way and are more than happy that this man died for mere propaganda purposes. this man's blood is on hamas' hands. the problem is that hamas is completely ok with that.

he lived next to me and his 4 wives used to come into my shop all the time i know for a fact that if he had asked for permission to go to egyptian hostpital or any arab hospital believe me he would have got it strait away after all we are all arabs and we love each other even iranian hospital would have said tfadal to him so why israil no give him clearance i do not know

For this title, I know the everyday feedback writers will hide. Only part of people can suffer and have different feelings than others.

Somebody please explain - exactly why do the Palestinians feel that they are entitled to medical care in Israel? Mahmoud abu-Amro should have availed himself of the facillities in any one of the countries that follow the "religion of peace" rather than the "Zionist Entity". With all the monies over the last 50 years that the Palestinians wasted on terrorism they could have built several state of the art medical facillities - it's time for the world's largest welfare recipients to smarten up!

I am asking the same question! Why Israel? Because it is a pushover? Easy to blame, always trying to be the good guy? Where are the 'brothers'? Maybe big brother hamas should build a good hospital instead of arms- what a challenge- use all the money for a good cause. Ynet- another sob story for the pro - palestine side.... which side are you on?

WE DON'T DO ENOUGH KILLING WITH THE GUNS WE GIVE OUR SOLDIERS, AND THEREFORE KILLING IS DISPROPORTUNATE SO THE U.N. SHOULD DEMAND THAT WE TAKE AWAY THE SOLDIERS GUNS AND REPLACE THEM WITH THERMOMETERS & MEDICAL EQUIPMENT ! When the efficiency of the soldiers increases, we can allow them to kill in “passive” Ways; until such time, we should practice on innocents till we get A good enough militarily, then we can kill them beauracratically (like we reserve only for our own G.T. residents) and if the E.U. allows we can use the medical services of the Palestinians as I’m sure there will be Televivinians and dignitaries that will flock to receive further extensive medical care ! Hey reader #4 I hope this satiates your hunger for the comments of "regulars" to imput into THE IDIOCY OF AN ARTICLE PREDICATED ON SUCH INSANITY !

Who is suffering? Ordinary people of Gaza. Help release Gilad from your own people. Now it is obvious government elected by you is involved in things like "Kidnapping"! This is what is bringing you in situation like this one. REVOLT AGAINST YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT

why must it be israel you said yourself all the hospitas in arab countrys woul have treatet him so get the help from overthere you only know that there is astate of israel when you need medical care

Its a shame this woman died and placing blame doesn't help anything but the wider issue is WHY ARE WE GIVING TREATMENT TO ANYBODY? We are at war with the palestinians but as soon as one of their people gets sick they get rushed to Israel given treatment free of charge? There are limited beds and doctors in the Israeli hospitals, sadly there are plenty of Israelis with cancer who need treatment that they are paying for but they have to go onto a waiting list there is a palestinian humanitarian case to be treated first.

Arabs are always pushing for economic boycotts of Israel to hurt the Israeli taxpayers so they shouldn't expect a helping hand. If Meretz disagrees they should open their own wallets.

haven't we heard this story before? every time some arab dies because we didn't give him clearing to enter israel everyone gets their knickers in a twist. why should we let them enter?! they wanted to be "free" ! they wanted to have their own government ! they wanted to be apart from israel! they made their bed now let them lie in it!

I do not believe any Palestinian from Gaza should be allowed to enter Israel until the mystery of who burnt down all the abandoned synagogues following the withdrawal is resolved. Every Palestinian is a suspect until the true culprits are brought to justice. Why isn't the US pursuing those who carbombed the US Embassy staff in 2004 in Gaza? Why is that crime being ignored by the Bush Administration?

that was meant to build infrastructure, hospitals decent housing etc. It went on terrorism, either in bomb making, rocket firing and terrorist camps as well as childrens TV to teach hatred against Israel. So who is to blame for sick people who die, Why Hamas of course for not building hospitals with the billions of dollars that it was given.

The comments written in post 1 stink to high heaven of arrogance, racial superiority, innate imbecility and thirdreich-esque inhumanity. Even the most ignorant knee jerk fool knows that this gentleman who died of cancer has no connection with the incarceration of Gilad Shalit. May it never happen to you.

when aplestinians dance and hand out sweets after jews are murdered, are you just as disgusted? or is that something completely different? just wondering.
