Time to send all Arab patients to Augusta Victoria and Mukassed. No more Hadassah or Shaarei Tzedek for them. Let Arab doctors practice in their own hospital. Once again one more case of them biting the hand that feeds them just like when Tibi assaulted the security guard at Hadassah

and if it would have been said by a Jewish doctor about an Arab all hell we would not hear the end of it. This dortor should be fired or sent to Jenin

Refused to treat an Arab patient by the name of Arafat, Haniyya, Al-Zahar or Mashal? There would be an outcry from MK Dr. Ahmed Tibi and other Arab "leaders" and the doctor would be fired! Fire him!

Marlene control yourself- or tather your prejudice. Obviously you have no idea that Jewish and Arab Israelis who work together- work together brilliantly- in every proffession. In my personal experience alone, my husbands life was saved more than once and, and sustained by the brilliant team at Hillel Yaffo I Hadera, and the staff was a great mix of profeesionals that were Arab, Jewish.I work side by side with both Arabs and Jews . We all need the jobs, and are happy to do them. This Doctor in Afula di himself and the hospital, and the patints and her family a great injustice. We'd all be better off not to turn to you for any of your business wih your attitude.

He made a joke. It wasn't meant to be heard by the family or patient and he apologized. I was living in Calif when a Jewish doctor working in an ER refused to treat some jerk who came in with swastika tattoos. That wasn't a joke and he really did refused treatment. But, I wouldn't vilify that guy, either. Doctors are human.

Israeli doctors really must be dedicated to the "lie" of professionalism...to be so focused on saving lives rather than emotions while treating Gazan patients (even though they return to kill him in a suicide bombing), treating Palestinian terrorists (often in the next room of his Jewish victims), and accepting complex surgical cases of Arab children from places like Iraq....often for free. You got to hand it to those Israeli doctors, they had me fooled....but you saw right through them. Good for you.

(1) "I hope he isn't related" (2) "Will you take the case for me" (3) "Related or not I have a problem with your family name" (4) Even after the patient's daughter attempted to convince him, she had to ask another doctor to see her mother Get this guy out of the Jewish hospitals - inaction is bad enough, let's not wait for worse.

In 1997 an army (russian) doctor refused to see a ethiopian... That's not the same?

left has produced. If you want equality among Jews and Arabs here it is. You educated a vile enemy to hurt you in times of crisis.

They will assist you in times of need,

It was abandoned years ago.

Why do Arabs get away with being anti Jewish while Jews are ostracized for speaking against Arab terror.

is that what is called disproportionate reaction?

Nightmare courtesy of the delusional dreamers,Livni ,Beilin,Peres etc etc.Which part of the word HATE do they not understand ?

There once was a Doctor who ; refused to treat a sick Jew ; I'm afraid it's too late for this Doctor irate but his hatred can hardly be new ?

And this clown actually graduated from medical school? Damn, are the standards THAT low for Arabs? Hello. In the United States, we have to deal with affirmative action (President Obama greatly benefited). For benefit of the uninformed, that's a program whereby the color of your skin is more important than the quality of your brain. As Obama has more than demonstrated. Geez. I thought evening the playing field on an undergraduate level made the playing field even. Obviously, it wasn't good enough in the United States. Perhaps it is not good enough in Israel, either. Take away this idiot's licence to practice medicine. He's no doctor. He's a freakshow. Just kind of like Hussein Obama.

...Are the Israeli media and the liberal Jewish elite who's smear campaign of gossip, lies and libels against Rabbi Meir Kahane had generated such a stupid level of hysteria and hatred. So what if it WAS a child from Rabbi Kahane's family? Would it have been OK for the doctor not to treat him...? But this is precisely the kind of hatred that the leftist media has been peddling since Rabbi Kahane burst on the scene and almost threatened their political hegemony.

They Jews have always helped the enemies who turned against them.

murderers and this scrub wont treat someone because of a name? Does anyone have a clue in the establishment? That hospital needs to kick his rear to the curb. he was saving face but saying it was a joke. The ER is comedy central, and it wasnt even comedy. It was hate.

"They went to the ER of Afula hospital where Jewish and Arab doctors and nurses work. It's like that everywhere in Israel." Really? In "racist and apartheid State of Israel"? Just imagine a Jewish doctor refrusing to treat a patient with a name like: Bshara, or Salah. Just imagine Mr.Ahmed Tibi in that situation. The same Mr.Tibi who demanded Police officer be fired because he dared to say that Arabs were ungrateful since they hurled previously prepaired stones from their mosque on people praying at The Western Wall. Did anyone hear ONE word from Mr. Tibi regarding this Arab doctor's behaviour?

He IS a doctor, and he is NOT an idiot. He is an Arab Israeli doctor, making a living by working in Israeli Government - run Health System. His behaviour was made possible by Israeli Jewish Liberal Left. Have you heard any of them on the issue? Can you imagine what would have been had it been the other way round? "Racist apartheid State of Israel?" You know what? It seems right.

then resign and go to an Islamic country, you so-called 'doctor', yalla! Refusing to treat a patient would be reason enough to fire that guy on the spot.

Say you were a Juror who was responsible for deporting a man,leaving his anguished family behind- would you want this mans son to be your waiter? If the waiter asks another waiter to replace him at that table- don't you think that woud be better for both parties?

Is by knowing how to make cruel jokes. Anyone working in an ER who can't do that won't last very long. I understand why the Kahane family are upset, and it was perhaps a lack of good judgment from the physician, but I wouldn't advocate any steps against the physician. Move on with your lives, everyone.
