Opuscula

Will these seeds
Bear fruit for peace?

 

An article from Israel 21c.org reports that

Three days before the ceasefire that has brought quiet in Israel and Gaza, an officer in the Palestinian Authority in Gaza braved the danger to bring his 10-month-old daughter, Fajar, to be prepped for lifesaving surgery at Wolfson Medical Center in Holon through Save a Child’s Heart (SACH).

On September 2, Fajar’s successful open-heart surgery was performed by SACH lead surgeon Dr. Lior Sasson along with Palestinian Dr. Addas and Ethiopian Dr. Mekonnen, both taking part in the SACH training program.

Fajar’s parents are well-acquainted with SACH. Last year, Fajar’s older sister Zachra, now two, was treated at Wolfson for a different type of heart condition. Zachra is due back at the hospital next week for reevaluation for a second surgery.

On Tuesday, five more children arrived from Gaza to SACH’s weekly clinic for Palestinian children. This clinic remained open all during Operation Protective Edge, says Shapira. “The SACH medical team continued to treat Palestinian children, including children from Gaza.”

This is the RULE rather than the exception.

When a "Palestinian" from Gaza or the territories wants high-level medical care, they cross over to Israel.

When a Syrian or Lebanese needs high-level medical care, they cross over into Israel.

Even terrorist/PA president Abu Mazzen (Mahmoud Abbas) sent his wife to an Israeli hospital for surgery in June of 2014.

Amina Abbas, underwent surgery in Tel Aviv's Asuta Hospital and is due to be released on Sunday, according to Israeli media sources.

Mrs. Abbas' surgery in the heart of Israel takes place at a time of great political tensions with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu placing responsibility for the safety of kidnapped yeshiva students Gilad Sha'ar,16, Eyal Yifrach, 19, and Naftali Frankel, 16 on Abbas and the Palestinian unity government he heads.

I searched for a story about Amina's stay in Israel from the Muslim media and came up with zero hits. Imagine that.

While the Abbas surgery goes unreported in the Muslim media, it must be assumed that the SACH care likewise is hidden from the Muslim world.

You have to wonder if "Palestinians" such as Dr. Addas - training for advanced heart surgery with SACH in Israel will be allowed to even admit his skills were expanded in "the Zionist state"

It is amazing the hypocrisy that abounds in the Muslim world.

While Israelis save their lives - even as the Muslims are trying to kill the very people working to save them - the Muslims of the PA and Gaza do all in their power to dehumanize Israelis - Jews and non-Jews alike (even their fellow Muslims).

It will be interesting to see if the scars from the surgeries to save their lives will overcome the propaganda the children encounter in schools and on Muslim tv.

Only time will tell - but there not be enough time for the children to grow up and overcome instilled hatred for people who can, and did, save their lives.
