Updated: Journalists Ignore Life-saving Medical Assistance of Israeli Doctors


Posted June 7, 2015 8:05 PM ET; Last updated June 15, 2015 8:49 PM ET



[From article]
With Syria’s bloody four-year-old civil war raging just over the border, Israeli doctors have emerged as crucial caregivers to war-wounded citizens from
Israel’s hostile neighbor, regardless of whether they are women, children or even fighters —
regardless of who they fought for. And the treatment is all given on Israel’s dime.
“The staff here don’t ask them who they are or who they belong to because once they step into the hospital, the policy is humanitarian aid,” said Linda Futterman of the Ziv Medical Center in Safed, one of four Israeli hospitals that treat war-injured Syrian residents and fighters before returning them to Syria with the assistance of Israel Defense Forces.
For the patients, it often means the difference between life, limb and death: Few Syrian facilities have the capability to treat critical blast wounds, and many of the world’s leading trauma physicians can be found in Israel less than an hour’s drive away from the Syrian battlefields.

Save A Child’s Heart (SACH) provides pediatric heart surgery and follow-up care for indigent children regardless of race, religion, sex, color, or financial status. Based in Israel, the organization’s mission is “to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from countries where the heart surgery they need is unobtainable.”
[. . .]
Roughly 50 percent of those treated by the group at the Wolfson Medical Center in the central Israeli city of Holon are Palestinians from the West Bank or Gaza.
But, Google news reports on Israel and you won’t find any coverage in the mainstream press about Israel’s compassion for children around the world and next door in the West Bank and Gaza. The State of Israel –as evidenced by its efforts most recently in Nepal– and Israeli-based organizations such as Save a Child’s Heart indeed demonstrate the size of Israel’s heart. And yet… Where’s the coverage?

Flawed Racism Study Tests Only White People

Showing extreme bias this study is flawed. Are the researchers saying that black people are incapable of racist thoughts and acts? That implies that black people have had their genes cleansed of mendacity greed and sadism. Hello? Are black people human as they claim?

[From article]
"Thirty-six white people were used in the study,"

Solution to ObamaCare

A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store. The store clerks called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor. The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery.

He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital he was taken to. A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clip board loaded with several forms, and a pen. She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.

"Do you have health insurance?" she asked.

He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"

He replied, "No money in the bank."

"Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the irritated nun.

He said, "I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun."

The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God."

The patient replied, "Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law."
