1. Sham hospitals
British Surgeon ,   London   (07.30.13)
I recently arrived back from a visit as part of an NHS vsiti visiting Palestinian institutions. I visited the Augusta Victoria Hospital and met with the Palestinian health minster. The hospital is a massive almost empty building with lost of plaques talking about donations. These donations certainly do not go to Palestinian Health provision. The hospitals I saw had empty wards with empty corridors. In contrast I visited Hadassah and saw departmentsd bursting with Palestinians receiving medical treatment. The Augusta Victoria and others are a big sham operation by the PA.
2. In other words Europe
David ,   On this planet   (07.30.13)
is waging war against Israel inside their Capital that they aim to dIvide, and Israel is doing nothing about it. Only in Israel this is possible, because we are very special.LOL
3. as a doctor
israeli doctor ,   jerusalem, israel   (07.30.13)
I am a doctor working in Israel, we are used to receive a lot of patients who ask for medical services of israel and also cases that can not be treated by the PA. It's treatment is for granted been given. And we do not care at political questions, we are doing our best and they know it. Congratulations for the people who has testified by himself the support Israel gives to anyone who asks for help,
4. Relocate the hospitals and staff to Ramallah.

5. If the PA wasn't paying "salaries" to terrorists in prison..
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (07.31.13)
Yep. The PA provides support payments to those in Israeli prisons for security offenses. The more they killed, the more they or their families get. More than enough goes to this program to otherwise cover the PA hospitals' payment shortfalls.
6. $5000 for an open heart surgery???

7. WTF is that?

8. Yet another example of PA short sightedness
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (07.31.13)
Hopefully that's in the past How often have we shot ourselves in the foot and suffered from non cooperation with Israel of vital issues such as water, energy, health and employment just for PURELY ideological and often lets face it RACIST reasons But more than that - this stand off has not helped us develop our trade and industry - although that also is beginning to change We have to show to West Bankers there is not just a dividend but a HUGE dividend in open cooperation and friendship with Israel This is where we call on our Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs and especially Al Masri to set an example and begin the process of normalisation of relations and be an example to ALL Palestinians that IT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT to be friends and not enemies with Israel
9. "Holy Jerusalem?"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.31.13)
Who'd have thought? The East Jerusalem that greeted the Jews who liberated it in June 1967 was a cesspool and garbage dump. That's well-documented. So, let's have a little less passionate rhetoric and lot more reality. The ersatz "Palestinians" had no respect for holy places that were not Moslem. Latrines were paved with Jewish tombstones from the Mount of Olives. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Church of the Dormition were falling apart. The Western Wall was used as the town dump. Jerusalem belongs to Israel. It is the eternal, undivided and not-to-be-shared capital city of the sovereign State of Israel. The hospitals in east Jerusalem have long been a lot of echoing hallways and empty beds. The ersatz "Palestinians" have always gone for treatment to the Jewish-controlled and Jewish-operated enclave at Mount Scopus. So, please -- be a bit realistic. Does anyone have any idea how many ersatz "Palestinians" would die should Israel refuse them entry to top-of-the-line medical treatment in Israel? The European Union may as well stand in the shower and tear up banknotes. Their money is going to line the pockets of the "officials" of the ersatz "Palestine" Authority, buy them even grander homes in Europe and fund their already overfed offshore bank accounts. It certainly won't go to improve hospitals, schools, or anything having to do with infrastructure. What do you suppose they will do when Israel will simply cut them loose. "You want a country? Have one. Israeli medical facilities are now off limits. Jobs in Israel are now unavailable. No more free Israeli electricity or fresh water." The ersatz "Palestinians" are a bunch of ingrates. But if they want to stand on their own two feet -- let them. Won't their brother Arabs help? Let's find out.
10. Yea! Sarah !!!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (07.31.13)
Instead of free medical help why not throw their asses into Jordan and insist they stay for 'treatment.'? Surely, there MUSt be non Jewish hospitals these Jew killers can infect other than Israelis The pals aren't worth saving so they can continue murdering Jews or, their own weak minded teens and mental midgets. KEEP BUILDING BABY!!!!!
