Apropos our latest communique on a Palestinian who intended to murder Israeli innocents at the very hospital that treated her self-inflicted burn wounds, Normblog posts a remarkable statement from the head of emergency trauma at Jerusalem’s Haddassah Ein Karem hospital. The surgeon recalls his team’s treatment of one of the terrorists who holed up in Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity in 2002:
During his 3 months on the unit, we had many times when we were short of beds, usually due to another suicide bombing. Were we going to deny a victim of terror an ITU bed because that bed already had a terrorist in it?
Keep this story in mind the next time Israel is accused of ‘obstruction of medical assistance’ vis-a-vis Palestinians.
