Elder of Ziyon
Mako reports about Ahmad Abu Halima, a 4 year old boy from Gaza whose life was saved by doctors at Schneider Hospital in Petah Tikva,
Ahmed originally came to the Israeli hospital with what appeared to be a tumor in his abdomen that was too large to remove, so he was prepared for chemotherapy. However, within a few days the child became very ill and it was found that the tumor was massively bleeding. In a series of complex operations, surgeons catheterized the many blood vessels that were connected to it while Ahmed was on a heart bypass.
Now his parents need to pay for the Ahmed's hospitalization - but the Palestinian Authority refuses to pay for any medical procedures that happen in Israel.
So the hospital set up an account for Israelis to help pay for Ahmad's medical expenses.
One would think that with all the supposed pride that Palestinians have, they would be embarrassed that Jews are paying for the medical expenses of a Palestinian. But honor is a weird thing - to Palestinian leaders, the bigger shame is to pay Israelis to help cure Palestinian kids.
It is a perverted culture.
One must wonder, though, how come none of the tens of millions of dollars that pour from European countries and NGOs to fund anti-Israel organizations can be used to help people like Ahmad Abu Halima.
Being pro-Palestinian seems to have little to do with actually caring about Palestinian lives.
