Hamas official's daughter treated in Israel

[shira]

The daughter of a senior Hamas official in Gaza has been treated for a heart condition by Israeli surgeons in Ashkelon, as she was too sick to travel to Jordan. The girl, aged 3, who is the daughter of Hams Interior Minister Elham Fathi Hammed had previously been treated unsuccessfully in Gaza.

Jordan’s King Abdullah is believed to have personally requested the Israeli authorities to allow the girl to be transported through Israel for surgery in Jordan. Because of the girl’s critical condition, surgeons in Bazilai Hospital in Ashkelon has to stabilise her condition and repair the damage done by the surgery in Gaza before she could be moved to Jordan.

She was later transported to Amman, Jordan by helicopter. She is believed to have left hospital earlier this week. No Jordanian or Palestinian media reported on Israel’s role in the girl’s treatment but Mr Hammed issued a public statement thanking King Abdullah and Jordan for saving the girl’s life.

1. Meanwhile in Gaza...

Terror Teddy Bear Teaches Martyrdom
Hamas continues to educate children to become “martyrs” who die while waging war on Israel. In one of the latest episodes of its children's television show, Pioneers of Tomorrow, the terrorism-loving teddy bear Nassur urges children to sacrifice themselves, and a caller assures them that if they become martyrs, they will go to Paradise.

"Dear children, when we grow up, we will become martyrs, God willing... the pioneers of tomorrow will liberate the Al-Aksa Mosque," Nassur declares.

A caller from Holland then sings a song that begins, “When we get martyred we will go to Paradise... No, don't say we are too small.” The song concludes, “I am willing to sacrifice my blood for my country. Without Palestine our childhood means nothing.”

2. Silence from the Israeli haters here.

Typical.

[azurnoir]

3. oh we "haters" like to let you

guys have your feelgood/warmfuzzy for the day undisturbed :)

4. +1 n/t

6. FRAK Israel!

One act of kindness, at the request of Jordan's king, does not change the racist character of what passes for zionism nowadays.

[proteus_lives]

9. IG nevers lets go of her hate.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

12. Anyone who doesn't hate Israel's current government is, at best, very wrong indeed.

Hate is only a bad thing when it's directed at something one shouldn't hate.

[IndianaGreen]

15. I hate the racist and reactionary Israeli government

together with the fascist settlers.

[proteus_lives]

17. Then say Frak settlers or the government.

Because your mask is slipping.

[IndianaGreen]

19. The only mask here is that one you are wearing

No liberal can support the oppression of a people, which is what Israel is doing just as Apartheid South Africa did.

[proteus_lives]

20. I don't support oppression.

Unlike you, I'm not willing to condemn an entire people.

You a liberal? :rofl: You've stated again and again how much you hate Israel and Israelis. Is hate liberal, comrade?

[IndianaGreen]

22. I hate theocracies of any flavour, either in the US or elsewhere

and the racism that is what passes for zionism nowadays.

[proteus_lives]

24. Israel isn't a theocracy.

So your reasoning falls apart.

How else will you justify your hatred?

[IndianaGreen]

25. Really? Tell that to LGBTs in Jerusalem that the rocks thrown at them are love pebbles

or to the women rabbis that attempted to carry to Torah scroll to the Western Wall and were attacked by the "modesty' brigade of religious thugs.

[proteus_lives]

26. Ask those LGBT if they want to move to Gaza or the WB

And those religious thugs aren't the representatives of the government or majority population.

In Gaza and the WB they would be attacked by government forces.

[IndianaGreen]

27. But you guys say that Israel is unlike her bigoted neighbors, yet...

we see many examples that Israel is becoming more fascist and bigoted every day.

[proteus_lives]

28. And you can't defend your ignorance.

You just keep parroting "fascist!" to justify your hatred and bigotry.

[Recursion]

23. You realize Israel *is* a government, right?

It's a state, just like any other.

[sellitman]

14. I knew we could count on you!

Typical

[proteus_lives]

8. Very typical.

[Tripmann]

5. Excellent

May this heartwarming story of co-operation be a beacon to all sides in this confilct. Especially to the children of gaza who have nothing only negative experienc drawing them into hatred.

[IndianaGreen]

7. The children of Gaza were flattened like pancakes by Israeli tanks

or were incinerated by Israeli phosphorus shells.

[proteus_lives]

10. Does IG care when Israeli children die?

Not a bit.

[davidinalameda]

11. but they deserve to die

they're the spawn of evil Zionists

:sarcasm:

[IndianaGreen]

16. Let's have a single, secular, and democratic state in Palestine

where Jews and Muslims enjoy equal rights, and where religious zealotry from anyone is not tolerated.

Israel killed the 2-state solution long ago. The only remaining issue is what sort of 1-state solution we are going to have.

[proteus_lives]

18. So you want to destroy Israel?

So surprise there.

By bomb or ballot, huh?

[IndianaGreen]

21. Israel destroyed itself when it chose the 1-state solution path

The absorption of Arab lands and property, the creation of new facts on the ground, and Israel's public declaration that it will never return East Jerusalem and some parts of West Bank are evidence that we already have a 1-state solution in place.

Why would any liberal oppose democratic government, particularly if the majority is prevented from abusing the minority as our Bill of Rights does.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

13. One child allowed basic medical treatment, thousands* denied it, and you expect us to cheer?

That you view "Israel behaves marginally less wickedly than it has the power to do" as newsworthy speaks volumes.



*I think I should be writing "hundreds of thousands" here, but it's possible that it should be "tens of thousands" so I went with "thousands" to be safe; if you don't restrict it to children you might be looking at "millions", but only just.
