Save a Child's Heart
We toured the Save A Childs Heart facilities in Tel Aviv. Save a Child's Heart mandate is to improve pediatric cardiac care in developing countries.
The Palestinian Authority since the Oslo Accord has been funded to manage health care, where the money goes is anyone's guess.
During the course of our interview I asked Dr. Sion Houri if they had ever encountered political resistance from countries which refused to allow children to be treated in Israel or otherwise accept Israeli aid.
He singled out Egypt and Jordan specifically.
The conversation changed focus from government to the medical professional associations of these countries. I asked if he felt these associations had been coopted by radical Islamists he answered:
"No, not coopted, they are" the radicals
Dr. Houri spoke of his encounter with an Egyptian physician at a conference in Montreal. Dr. Houri offered to assist with implementing a protocol for the treatment of children who weighed less than 20 kilograms. The Egyptian Doctor was aghast at the offer and privately asked if Dr. Houri wished him dead.
...
A request to assist a child was received by the charity's London office, the senders had not made the London and Israel connection.
The outcome was a letter from the child's father which stated that he would rather his child die than be treated by Israeli's.
And this is a bad thing?
Darwin awards for whole nations. An idea whose time may have come.
Saving your childs life is clearly a bad thing if it means accepting aid from Israel to some Sykes.1.
Iran will be hit I suspect Phantom, that oughta stir things up among the suicidal death cultists.
All these people comparing Muslims to Nazis don't know what they're talking about. There are all kinds of stories of Nazis who changed out of uniform at night and snuck out to visit the Jewish doctor...
truepeers; do you mingle with sentient beings?
I don't know David, do you have a point? I'm serious about the Nazis - if the stories I've been told by historians are correct (I attended a conference on this theme some years ago), before the Nazis started killing the Jews it was not uncommon for uniformed Nazis, when faced with serious illnesses, to show what they really believed about the Jews and hence to put their faith in skilled Jewish doctors, though of course they would never admit this publicly. Can we say the same thing about the Muslims to whom Israel offers medical services? Some yes, some no, I suspect.
I should say I'm serious in my sense of humour, sorry David.
And this is a bad thing?
