61. I feel pitty for you
Yaffa   (03.17.11)
You know it is true, and it eats you… Israel has always absorbed refugees. Your country, Egypt has always treated badly its minorities, the Copts, as well as the Jews. To what country nowadays do refugees from Africa run to? To Egypt?! Hell no, they come to Israel! That Palestinian woman is not the only Arab woman that gets medical treatment. In Israel, there are numerous people who do, people from all over the Arab countries. Most people who come to get medical treatment choose to remain anonymous, from their own reasons and you know that…
62. #2 did u just call woman giving birth a terrorist?
(03.17.11)
63. Why we did it ? We are ISRAELI , that's all.
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.17.11)
We love life and not death .
64. We are normal people
Roland ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.17.11)
Thank you G'd we are normal people
65. #1& #4: The Facebook Effect
Logic ,   Israel   (03.17.11)
Factoring in the amplification effect, tens of thousands read this story on Facebook just because of the original 2400 "likes". The point being that mainstream international media can be sidestepped, at least in a small way, if a story goes viral.
66. Statistics
observer ,   Egypt   (03.17.11)
Statistics show that about 25 percent of babies are born their umbilical cords wrapped around their necks. if 25% of all delivered baby were in life threatening situation, then the whole universe were really in an existential threat long long long ago.
67. masrawy you break my heart
G ,   jerusalem   (03.17.11)
masrawy you break my heart... i see israelis caring about & for palestinians here in israel every day. israeli hospitals are full of palestinians receiving the very best medicakl care with love & respect. that you think this is lies just shows that you have only been taught hate. i still believe in humanity, in you & that love can rule over hate if we let it.....open your eyes
68. No wonder Jewish statel doesnt fit well with Arab societies
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (03.17.11)
surrounding us. Point in case.
69. Masrawy egypt and other people igonrant of Koran
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (03.17.11)
Mohammed himself acknowleged the Jews and the land of Israel, so why dont you? Mohammed himself spoke of the reutrn of the Jews to the land of Israel, so why dont you? Surah 18-21. ZION is Jewish nationalism, which was spoken about in the time of King David- see the Jewish prophets and "Kings 1 and 2" for reference. Is Zion dirty because Arabs only want to domninate others, and Jews having indepenendence burns you up? Dark hearts you have.
70. Abu Jihad
Daniela   (03.17.11)
my father and his family were kicked out from Egypt by Nasser. All the jews were thrown out of all the arab countries. Yes, you have been "always by our side". Pls avoid bulshit!
71. Jewish Talmud states (paraphrased) THOSE WHO ARE KIND TO THE
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (03.17.11)
CRUEL.....WILL BE CRUEL TO THE KIND. Im not talking abou the baby, Im talking about how we treat terrorists if they are injured and give them university degrees and taxpayers pay hundreds of millions on free room and board university degrees for 1000s of arab terrorists. meanwhile IDF heroe's homes are slated for being demolished. Do you have any idea what message that says to an arab culture thats backbone is about domination and subjugation? Einstein said a fool is someone who KEEPS DOING something the same way even though it doesnt work
72. another touching story
Mohammed Barakat ,   Palestine - Ramallah   (03.17.11)
nice story, touching...I had an amazing story too when I was going back from Tel aviv to Jerusalem, the guy who was sitting beside me was an Israeli soldier, we were talking all the way back ( around 60 minutes ) then he asked me from where you are ! I replied from Palestine, Ramallah..I noticed he was shocked and didn't talk for 2 minutes, then at the end he hugged me and wished me all the best in life..he told me this is the first time i sit with a Palestinian and talk to him.
73. As a Palestinian....
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (03.17.11)
I send my heartfelt condolences to the Fogel family and outrage against those who have commited this slaughter A feeling echoed by many many Palestinians Hatred is not the only game in town...Our futures are intertwined and the only way forward is based on mutual trust and respect Whilst Netanyahu and Abbas continue to prevaricate, dodge, delay we the people on both sides need to urge and demand that negotiations continue with incremental trust building measures in all spheres because when all said and done its the people who will have to learn to live together
74. Israelis saving palestinian lives
Abba Richman ,   Efrat, Israel   (03.17.11)
This is no news item for us, this is day day coexistence between the "settlers" and Palestinian neighbors. The Efrat Mada medical team also regularly rushes to the assistance of Palestinians in Gush Etzion. Arabs from all the villages from around Efrat regularly bring emergency cases to the entrance of Efrat where Life saving care is given to them.
75. To #6,#19 & # 48 and others I'm sure.
Debbie ,   Haifa Israel   (03.17.11)
With attitudes like that we will never have peace
76. compare & contrast
yair   (03.17.11)
'nuff said
77. lol
ali ,   isr   (03.17.11)
78. it's really funny how people think
Shhadeh ,   Nazareth   (03.17.11)
when a Palestinian commits a murder you say "YOU arabs killed..." and when this IDF paramedic saves that women and his baby you say "WE saved...", people need a reality check !
79. Where's Salma ?
(03.17.11)
80. Bring pictures. You know how...
Ariel ,   Israel   (03.17.11)
81. IDF and habitants of Judea and Samaria
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (03.17.11)
This is a very nice article and it should go around the world. While people try hard making us bad people, we supply lesson of humanity. They should beproud of the existince of Israel. Congratulation, Mazel Tov.
82. its crazy but true!!!
hodu ,   lahashem   (03.17.11)
its crazy, especially after this past weekend where the Palestinians butchered the Jewish family but it IS true and its not the first time!!!
83. to #78 how many incidents?
ghostq   (03.17.11)

84. Humanity has still hope
(03.17.11)

85. #72
(03.17.11)
so stop killing us and you'll have thousands of israeli jews sitting by you on the bus and hugging you. simple, really.
86. To: Rachel at No. 30
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.17.11)
Beautifully said. Judaism is a nutshell. Thank you very much.
87. Side thought
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.17.11)
Perhaps if the so-called "leadership" of the Palestine Authority were to worry a little less about their multiple homes in Europe, their lavish offshore bank accounts and the questionable necessity of a personal Gulfstream jet, there would be more than enough funds available to make quality medical care available to all. In the six months between June 1967 and December 1967, following Israel's acquisition of Judea and Samaria, infant mortality in the West Bank dropped 40%. One of the first things Israel did was build hospitals and medical clinics -- both Kupat Holim and Tipat Halav. Since the Palestine Authority assumed control over large portions of the West Bank, infant mortality is on the rise in areas under their jurisdiction, and hospitals and medical clinics have closed. The truth is that the PA has not been very good for the Arabs living on the West Bank for a whole host of reasons (crumbling infrastructure, closed hospitals, clinics and universities, widespread unemployment, rampant inflation, to name but a few). But at least Abbas has his Gulfstream, so I guess all's well with the world. Sad.
88. Well said, #73
Nechama ,   New York, USA   (03.17.11)
Thank you. Arabs and Jews share so much - it is a shame that so many are blinded by hatred.
89. Arabs Save Jews?? When?
B ,   Illinois   (03.17.11)
True, Jews fled to arab countries when expelled from the G-d given homeland of Israel. They were tolerated in those countries because they enriched the culture and leaders there. And when it became inconvenient these host countries expelled the Jews. Last time I checked the North African countries also got tired of Jews and expelled them from there too. The creation of Israel was done by G-d long before 1948. You all tolerate us when we are wandering and being expelled. In 1948 we got the chance to regain our G-d given rights to the land. You all cant accept that and live in peace side by side.
90. #32 Ruth - Tell the truth
BENJABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.17.11)
If Palestinian's are so merciful, you'll have to explain why they shot up and killed the Doctors & Nurses enroute to Hadassah Hospital on Mt. Scopus, in vehicles that were clearly marked as ambulances
