32. It's a warm story about Israel, but the grandfather...
William ,   Israel   (05.04.13)
is the hero here. Such compassion and love for this child, to spend each moment with him for 3 years, living in a hospital. He truly gave of himself and that is worthy of honor.
33. child from gaza
naim ,   miami us   (05.04.13)
This act of kindness makes me love the Torah and the jewish people more every day, i am a christian arab and i realize that the people who believes in the Bible behaves in a more noble way. may the Name of the Gd of Moses be Praised.
34. #12 - excellent points
William ,   Israel   (05.04.13)
Thanks for sharing more of the grandfather's words. I think this whole case easily falls within the humanitarian realm and both should be granted stay in Israel. Problem is - will he then be giving up chances to ever visit Gaza and see his daughter again.
35. #20 - there are hospitals in Gaza
William ,   Israel   (05.04.13)
but here's the problem.... 1) Hamas uses hospitals as shelters when they stoke an Israeli attack, and make Hamas terrorists priority over real patients who are sick. 2) Gaza could be a location with good hospitals but the Hamas leadership chooses to divert funds to attacking Israel then to bolster healthcare and infrastructure there. Before Hamas declared war on Israel in 2007, Gazans worked in Israel (as the article states) and Gazan doctors trained together with Israeli ones. But again that ended based on Hamas policies. I guess the "refugee" you said must "let go" of their hatred so they can see Israelis has fellow humans before they could ask for help. Before the 2nd intifada launched by "Palestinians" for no good reason, this type of interaction happened all the time. Recently, Israel saved the infant daughter of a Hamas founder with emergency heart surgery. She's back in Gaza and doing much better thanks to the Jewish doctors, whom the father continues to target with terrorism through Hamas policy.

J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.04.13)
you are,Gaza is not occupied by Israel,gaza is a independent state who attacked it's neighbor,you have no shame.
37. Nice story
Irish dude ,   Near Dublin, Ireland   (05.04.13)
Nice story but i bet the news websites in my country won't show this story
38. #20 Read the story, dummy
Expat ,   Adelaide   (05.04.13)
If you had actually bothered to read the story, you would have come across this: "his mother abandoned Mohammed because her husband, ashamed of their son, threatened to take a second wife if she didn't leave the baby". So you see, the reason Mohammad was abandoned has nothing to do with any 'occupation', but rather, typical Arab motherhood - preferring the financial security of staying with a real scumbag of a husband who cares only about himself, than with her own child who needs her the most. You really have no shame, using this beautiful story about Israel, to try and cast it in a negative light. You only prove your own stupidity.
39. good deed
Rau   (05.04.13)
God bless the grandpa and those who are taking care of this poor boy. I pray that israeli government will grant him PR on humanitarian ground in line with jewish values.
40. What a heartbreaking story; couldn't stop the tears

Anthony ,   USA   (05.04.13)
Did you donate the care of this precious child? I didn't think so. Try giving, even in small amounts according to the God that you serve.
43. No, you won't.
BethesdaDog ,   Bethesda USA   (05.04.13)
Because your country is becoming increasingly anti-semitic.
44. REALLY!!! IS THERE SUCH A THING AS ARAM BIILIONARES??
SHARON ,   ISRAEL   (05.04.13)
I THOUGHT ALL THE POOR ARABS SUFFER FROM APARTHIOED AND MISERY
45. The Mohammed al-Farra Fund
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.04.13)
They will take checks drawn on foreign banks, or donations by credit card: Chaim Sheba Medical Center Two Sheba Road Tel Hashomer 52621 Israel +972 3 530 3030

I guess this is one Palestinian who is against the Boycott/Divest/Sanction campaign.

Elias ,   Haifa   (05.08.13)
So sarah, did you say the same thing when palestinians saved the lives of jews? Did you say "how did jews thank palestine? by sending missiles and comitting vile acts of terrors?" No of course you didnt say that because you are a hypocrite. The ratio of terror and bombs victims are 20 palestinians or more for every israeli. The settlers comitt daily terror against palestinians, killing, stabbing, throwing stones, burning trees, vandalizing cars and homes, killing cattle etc. Not to mention all of the Palestinian civilians killed by the israeli army. Shame on you for trying to erase all crimes israel comitts because of this story. By the way, did you know that many hospitals in gaza were bombed by israel and that many of the palestinian patients in israeli hospitals are victims of israeli violence? So no the problem is not with the arabs, its with hypocrites like you.
48. #33 Dont bring in the bible in to this
Elias ,   Haifa   (05.08.13)
unless you also want to claim that it was because of the bible israel bombed over 1000 children to pieces. And you need to update yourself, jews believe in the torah, they dont believe in the new testament. And these doctors are secularists acting as humans, not in the name of religion.

Rachel   (05.08.13)
First of all your an ungratetful hypocrite. This baby is just one example of the many Arab patients in Israeli hospitals. Israel treats sick Arabs,including sick Arab children every single day in their hospitals. I am personally glad that Israel does this,and is helping this child, which just shows how humane and decent Israeli people are in spite of all the hatred,and violence which they face everyday from their enemies,including enemies within their own society. And your lying Arabs commit far more acts of violence against Jews in Judea and Samaria. The few acts of violence and vandalism Jews do commit are usually in response to far more egregious Arab acts of violence,mainly murder,which I might add most Arabs support. Your lying Arabs commit far more egregious acts of violence against Jews in Judea and Samaria There's websites dedicted to the murderers of the Fogel family. The 2 monsters who slit the throat of a Jewish baby and said they were proud of what they did. You people are the most hateful,shameless people in the world since the Nazis.

Justjams ,   Jerusalem   (05.18.13)
Palestinians dont enjoy murder or killing , they just want to live a normal life.israelis and palestinians should get rid of both of their governments because it seems to me that conflict is caused by the small group of people that are suppose to lead.( on both sides) but if u look at the death ratio between palestinians and israelis you will find out that the majority of deaths r palestinian
