When and how will this pandemic of anti-Semitism end? The last time it was this bad in Europe, it ended in mass murder. Today the “Palestinians,” the darlings of the international media and “human rights community,” call openly for a new genocide of the Jews, and nonetheless never lose favor with the intelligentsia and elites. The moral myopia is as pandemic as the Jew-hatred, and growing. Whether this doctor is a Leftist or a Muslim (or both), he should be stripped of his license to practice medicine. But probably he will get away with a perfunctory reprimand.
“Doctor refuses to help 90-year-old woman because she is Jewish – ‘go to Gaza,'” translation of “Arts weigert 90-jarige vrouw te helpen omdat ze Joods is – ‘ga maar naar Gaza,” Joods Actuel, July 31, 2014 (thanks to Rudi):
A Flemish doctor Wednesday night on the telephone manned as a duty of physicians refused to provide medical help to a 90-year-old Jewish woman who had suffered a rib fracture. “I will not come! Send her to Gaza for a few hours, then she will not feel pain anymore,” was the reply. The doctor said shortly after the story became known that this was done in an “emotional frenzy.” The Health Department is investigating the matter.
It was the son of the 90-year-old Bertha Klein who yesterday evening around 11 pm phoned the doctors’ help line. His mother was in agonizing pain after she had suffered a rib fracture. The doctor discovered very quickly that it was a Jewish patient: her name and Antwerp address betrayed all that, as well as the accent (Klein is American).
When the family asked if the doctor could come to the aid of this woman in terrible pain, he replied bluntly, “I will not come,” and put the phone down. The family called back immediately; then the doctor said, “Send her to the Gaza Strip for several hours, she will not feel pain anymore then.”
The family was in shock and meanwhile phoned a friend, Samuel Markowitz, district councilor in Antwerp for the Open VLD. Markowitz also knew that a physician should never refuse a patient. He himself called the help line and confronted the doctor with his statements (the interview was also recorded for later proof).
The doctor admitted the facts and said that this was in “a fit of emotion.” Markowitz explained all this to the the head of the Department of Health for the Antwerp region, while the grandson of the 90-year-old woman, Hershy Taffel, registered a complaint with the police for racism and xenophobia.
Mr. Taffel tells how his grandmother burst into tears. “This reminds me of what we underwent in Europe 70 years ago, I never thought that day would ever be repeated.”
IMPORT OF CONFLICT
Michael Freilich, editor of Jewish News, is concerned about the import of the Middle East conflict to our country.
“This is yet another incident in succession in a short period of time. A shop in Antwerp refused a woman to serve because she was Jewish, a cafe in Liege has a sign hung with the message ‘Dogs are welcome, Jews are not,’ and in Brussels slogans like ‘Death to the Jews’ were chanted during a demonstration. And on Facebook, we see calls every day of hatred against the Jewish people.
“And let me repeat for the umpteenth time: Belgian Jews are NOT Israelis! They merely have an emotional bond with that country but have no influence on the conflict. They do not vote in Israel, do not go to the army and pay no taxes there.
“Any form of racism and anti-Semitism must be condemned by politicians vigorously. High Time, methinks.”

Guy Macher says
Even Western education cannot remove evil from the human heart.
umbra says
it is not education by itself, but cultural values and morals that defeats evil. Traditional Western (even Eastern) education imparts knowledge (which includes cultural and moral values). Today however, western education is increasingly becoming more concerned with imparting information rather than knowledge, and not necessarily useful or clear information either (universities are major culprits). Regardless, cultural and moral values are primarily source though family upbringing and other social units/interactions, not through formal education. Therefore, this fool of an MD either has a few screws loose in his head (making him a liability as an MD) or he is culturally and/or morally compromised.
Dee Harris says
A doctor is meant to be a professional, not given to fits of emotion. That is the lamest excuse for misconduct I have heard in a very long time. He is a disgrace to the oath he took – does he remember it at all? I weep as I read these posts – where will this all end when blatant racism and bigotry is practiced by all and sundry? I am ashamed.
el-cid says
Let me explain something. The ONLY action that is meaningful here is for European leaders and other Western leaders to recognize what is happening and to speak out against it strongly and frequently. That is unlikely to happen.
If they do not do that, all the European Jews had better make Aliyah. Better to stand together than to be hanged separately. Nothing we do will stop the natural hatred of the Goyem against us. Every action is interpreted as an evil act.

Antisemitism is not a ‘natural hatred’ – it is demonic.

I’m a Gentile—a Goy, if you prefer—and *I* don;t hate the Jewish people.
Robert Spencer is not Jewish—do you believe that *he* hates the Jewish people—when he has done so much to stand for Jews and to support Israel, and when one of his closest colleagues is Pamela Geller, who is Jewish?
Apart from a handful of trolls who show up here at Jihad Watch, *all* posters here support the Jewish people.
Things *are* becoming increasingly dark, with Muslim Jew hatred, a resurgent antisemitism in Europe, and the appalling current occupant of the White House, whose is open in his contempt of Israel.
But you are *not* alone—most Americans stand with you, as do many others throughout the West.
There is *nothing* “natural” about virulent antisemitism—you have more support than you think.
I stand with you. Am Yisrael Chai!
Julie from Adelaide says
Muslims view Christians and Jews as “the people of the Book”: as one people. I am Christian, no Jewish ancestry AFAIK, never learned antisemitism either. I support Israel.
When Avi Lipkin referred to us as “Gentiles” his Egyptian-born wife corrected him. They are both Jewish, but Avi grew up in the Americas. She taught Avi that the gentiles (who hate Jews) are the Muslims. Listen to some of his talks in Youtube; it is educational!
So now, he speaks in more churches than synagogues. He used a pen name Victor Mordecai so his site is called vicmord.

What is also disconcerting is that Flemish Jews (via an apparent spokesperson for the Jewish community of Belgium) choose to separate themselves from other Jews:
“And let me repeat for the umpteenth time: Belgian Jews are NOT Israelis! They merely have an emotional bond with that country but have no influence on the conflict. They do not vote in Israel, do not go to the army and pay no taxes there.
“Any form of racism and anti-Semitism must be condemned by politicians vigorously. High Time, methinks.”
Rather than stand in unity with the Jews in Israel, they seem to suggest that it would be different had an Israeli Jew been denied care.
Suggest, repeat, suggest. (perhaps the translation is off)
However, this appears to be quite common – the argument that since we are not Israeli Jews, we should not be victimized. I think that I see it made frequently.
“Belgian Jews are NOT Israelis! They merely have an emotional bond with that country but have no influence on the conflict. They do not vote in Israel, do not go to the army and pay no taxes there.”
And if they were and could, would they continue to sit by waiting for extermination?
Whatever one may think of Islam and Muslims, they seem to stick together as ummah.
A confederacy of dangerous dunces, perhaps, but a confederacy, nonetheless.
The Mishnah exhorts the Jewish people “not to separate from the community.”
Many a time, in the press, I have observed this dichotomy in action.
It would be more heartening to read that these Jewish people, and the many others (seemingly) who express similar views, to simply say that they have been mistreated for being Jewish and this behavior will be defied. Mistreatment of Jews, whether from Israel or anywhere else, will meet with opposition.
Am Yisrael chai. Note the “Am” part.
Diane says
Yes that was my reaction as well. Not just the behavior of this thing masquerading as a doctor, but the denial of the Jewish family that they were not Israeli Jews. They think that makes a difference to the miserable anti-semetic Europeans.
Wake up cowards!
Advocate MO says
My thoughts exactly! Well said.
Scary how even today they cling on to the “we are not part of the tribe”, we’re Belgian first, then Jews. When will they realize that Israel is the worldwide symbol for Jews and any hatred directed at Israel, includes them?
That try as they might separate themselves, the world will never see it that way?
Reality Check says
What’s shocking is that this is a Flemish doctor – I thought he was Palestinian at first. Or maybe Arab. Or maybe Muslim.
I hope he has his licence revoked and his name thoroughly disgraced for life. What a bloody bastard!
Louise Algranti says
Some one should let this ignorant white thrush know that Israel treats Arabs in its hospital even Syrians…… Europeans deserve to live under sharia when that time comes they can reminisce about the good old times when Jews lived in their sick continent.
Silvia says
I believe I said it in another thread but one of the fundamental errors is pinning the latest wave of Islamonazism and Jew hate on this war, is STUPID and simply not true. It was going there regardless of anything because of the Islamic time bomb in Europe. The terror attack in Bruxelles happened 2 months before the start of this war. Merah murdered 4 Jews,3 of them kids and many are forgetting that he actually murdered 3 French soldiers the week before (and another one was wounded). It wasn’t about Palestinians-Israelis, it was about Jews. The murderer was Algerian (or Moroccan) , not “Palestinian”.
The European leaders are right about all this being an imported conflict, they are just blind and mistaken about what conflict it really is – Islam against the West.
They are being deceitful and taking the easy way out by saying it’s “importing the Palestinians-Israeli conflict” to the EU. That lie is not going to work anymore.

Very, very true. When Brigitte Gabriel—a Lebanese Christian—was in Israel seeking help for her injured mother during the Lebanese civil war (really another Jihad) as a child, she was stunned that the Israeli doctors not only treated Lebanese the same as Israelis, and Christians and Muslims the same as Jews, but that they even gave emergency care to *Jihadists* while Israeli soldiers waited for care if triage warranted it.
And these were people who *wanted them dead*. They treated a Muslim woman there who cursed them, called for their murder, and spat on doctors and nurses.
This is the true Hippocratic Oath in action—even though this Israeli hospital was at times under fire.
And this hasn’t changed—Israeli doctors have treated victims from the Syrian conflict—even though *both sides* want them dead.
Then look at this virulently antisemitic “doctor” in the story above, who refused to treat a *90-year-old woman* in pain and at risk of death.
Compare and contrast….
Bradamante says

Pavelina says
The Israelis have set up a hospital right across the border from Gaza where injured civilians, and Hamas for that matter, are welcome to go for medical care. Meanwhile, the Hamas are shelling that hospital and are using Gaza civilians as human shields. Also, Israel honors 4 hour ceasefires, and Hamas does not — keeps on lobbing the rockets into Israel.
Mirren10 says
Really, rezali, don’t you get embarrassed at parading your stupidity ?
What correlation can even you find in the refusal of an anti-Semitic pos soi-disant ‘doctor’ refusing to treat a ninety year old woman, because she is a **Jew**, and ”But so should the 100s of injured babies, womens in Gaza” ?
It was Hamas that started this, by firing rockets into Israel, and digging tunnels to infiltrate, attack and murder. It is **Hamas** that exhorts and forces its own people to be human shields.
Hamas stores rockets, weapons and explosives in mosques, schools and hospitals. Naturally they are then targets.
The ninety year old woman did **nothing**, except be a Jew.
The ‘Gaza’ comment by this pig of a doctor is nothing but a convenient cloak for the virulent anti-Semitism seething in most mohammedans, and Marxist leftards.

What crap—it is *Hamas* who is using these civilians as human shields.
Moreover, the idea that the victims are all women and children is utterly false—most of those killed—except for those Hamas have been hiding behind—are fighting age men—i.e., Jihadists.
As to the hospitals, it is inept and careless *Hamas* who bombed the hospital there:
“Gaza jihadists mistakenly hit Gaza hospital, refugee camp with rockets”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/07/gaza-jihadists-mistakenly-hit-gaza-hospital-refugee-camp-with-rockets
And, as Pavelina notes, the charitable Israelis have set up a hospital nearby—just to treat the Muslims who want to kill them.
More:
These people will now die …and will want to pray before dying …last rites and all that ….and what do you know…. the Israelis have knocked out the Mosques too….so they will be damned whilst dying ?
…………………………
Is “Allah” so “merciful” that he will damn the faithful because some “filthy Kuffar” took out the local Mosque?
And what Rezali Mehil won’t tell you is that the only reason some Mosques have been targeted is that Jihadists have been using them *as weapons caches*:
“Gaza: Jihadis use mosques to store weapons, glorify jihad terror”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/07/gaza-jihadis-use-mosques-to-store-weapons-glorify-jihad-terror
And they have been doing the same things with UNRWA schools and playgrounds, as well.
More:
So do you have anything else to say ….or is it that only gazans should suffer ..
…………………………
More crap. Hamas broke the last cease-fire—just *ten minutes* after it expired.
If Hamas had just withheld from attacking Israel again, the cease-fire would have held.
Hamas started the war to begin with, by lobbing missiles at Israeli civilians—Israel is just defending herself.
But as violent Muslims like Rezali Mehil see it, Mohammedans have every right to slaughter Infidels—*especially Jews*.
It is only when the Infidels dare to fight back that it becomes a problem…
Champ says
Jeez let me call “rezali mehil” a wambulance for such poor reporting of events surrounding Israel and Gaza …the revolting “rezali” is shamefully omitting important details like how Hamas puts their OWN **children** in harms way as human shields!
Get. lost. liar.
gravenimage says
Here’s another salient story re Rezali Mehil’s whining about Gazans being unable to receive medical care:
“Three IDF soldiers killed at booby-trapped UNRWA health clinic”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/07/three-idf-soldiers-killed-at-booby-trapped-unrwa-health-clinic
Maybe it would be easier for Gazans to get medical care if they weren’t *booby-trapping * the clinics built for them by Infidels in order to murder Jews.
And here’s one more:
“Video: UN ambulance in Gaza transports Hamas fighters”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/07/video-un-ambulance-in-gaza-transports-hamas-fighters
It seems that pious Muslims in Gaza are a *lot* more focused on killing Jews than on protecting or treating their own people.
And why not? After all, Hamas admits this:
“Hamas: ‘We love death like our enemies love life!’”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/07/hamas-we-love-death-like-our-enemies-love-life
Damn barbarians…
Kepha says
Rezali, I’ll give you credit for recognizing the Flemish doctor’s willful dereliction of duty and blatant hatred for another human being.
However, Hamas started this round of the conflict, and has even used schools, hospitals, mosques, and UNRWA offices to store weapons. They’ve made everything a target when the Israelis retaliate.
Look, I sympathize with a dog battered and shattered by the side of the road whimpering in an agony that will soon be mortal. But I also realize that it would not have been in this predicament if it hadn’t run out into the road to try to bite the tires of a passing truck.

So this Josef Mengele wannabe should just have asked her if she supported the ‘palestinians’, and if she’d said no, everything would have been okey dokey ?
You just don’t get it, do you ? No doctor has the right to refuse to treat a patient, whatever their race or religion.
Do the Israeli doctors and nurses who treat mohammedans in their hospitals, mohammedans who repay this compassion and magnanimity by attempting to murder them, ever cross what one may laughingly call your brain ?
”There many Jews living outside of Israel who support the cause of Palestinians ”
Define ‘many’. Just because one is a Jew, doesn’t mean one can’t be a fool.
” … the human rights abuses that are committed by the Zionist leadership in Tel Aviv”
It is Hamas that is committing human rights abuses, by using their own population as human shields, not the Israelis. It was a **Hamas** rocket that killed the children in the playground, not the IDF.

………………………………..
As “squeeze the Jews” would have it, the only Jews who should be allowed to live are those who are such dhimmis that they will not resist the destruction of Israel.
And why not? As “squeeze the Jews” has made clear, he doesn’t propose the out-and-out genocide of the Jews as do so many of his coreligionists—instead, he sees them as so productive that he believes that the survivors should be terrified and cowed until they pay the crushing Jizya with humility—that the only reason they should be allowed to live is to serve as slaves and milch cows for supremacist Muslims.
Notice that he does not actually chide this “doctor’s” appalling morals—but just reminds him that Jews can be used.
And it was Hamas that started this conflict, by lobbing missiles at Israeli civilians.
He only considers it a “human rights abuse” if the “juice” dare to *fight back*.
One minor point, but a telling one” Tel Aviv is a major city, but Israel’s capital *is Jerusalem*.
Supremacist Mohammedans always ignore this—as they see it, this ancient city, holy to Jews and Christians, belongs to them and no one else.
The fact that they built Al Aqsa Mosque on the site of the Temple and a Christian Church just exemplify this.

Unless a person rejects the most popular and strident voices in the culture around them, this is the logical and predictable result.
I was becoming an idiot about Jews and Israel as recently as 2000 when I got my first high-speed Internet connection. I was trying to educate myself and it started going horribly wrong.
Remember the poll where Israel and the US were considered to be the “greatest threats to world peace”? Anyone superficially consuming mainstream news, higher education, or popular culture is being groomed into the modern gloss on Jew hatred: “anti-Zionism”.
Luckily some people on the Internet patiently explained to me I was reading and believing Internet propaganda. They started unraveling the complex history of the region for me, or at least gave me things to read.

Joe Murphy says
The doctor should be struck off of the register FOR LIFE. Part of the problem is that it is obvious that he can’t be trusted. What is to stop him abusing Jewish patients in the future in sneaky ways he thinks he can get away with, by neglect or even malpractice?
Unfortunately, the bigotry of lowered expectations is likely to kick in, and he is likely to get lenient treatment. All non-Westerners are lifelong juveniles in the perspective of the bigotry of lowered expectations.

It looks like Europeans REALLY like Muslims and Islam… I am stunned.

Remember, In Europe, Muslims are ALWAYS painted as the victims. Don’t be surprised if the 90 year old is accused of being an Islamaphobe and is arrested.
Thats how far Europe has gone in its insane desire to appease angry and bigoted Muslims
Richie says
okay, if the doctor was not Muslim, they were clearly a leftist, the full fledged enablers of the fascism if islam. Leftists are rabid ant semites- thats why i am no longer a liberal- remember the disgusting Occupy Wallstreet events? The most popular discussion there was blaming the Jews for everything
Mr. Squat says
I’m afraid the doctor was not an extreme Leftist, but a Centrist. That’s the scary part.

As a former Liberal Jew, I finally got it, about liberal anti-Semitism. I was even confronted with it in a crafts group that I had joined in the university district — which naturally runs rampant with liberals and radicals.
I don’t even feel sad about turning my back on them. I’ll always remain a defender of women’s rights, esp. in the third world — although Europe is fast going down the toilet in that regard, integrating as they’re doing the worst of misogyny islam has to offer.
And animal rights will always be with me, along with my vegetarian ways, and I’ll continue signing all the petitions that cross my path.
I wish some of our right-wing posters here would stop bragging about their cowardly hunting of animals who’ve done them no wrong! Go to Israel and hunt down some stinky hamas ass, instead, why don’t you?
Bettina says
Dear WilyPagan —
I get your point, about feeling offended in being referred to as goyim. As a Jew, I always use the term Gentile, derived from the Latin to mean, roughly, “the others.” The meaning is benign, matter-of-fact.
“Goyim” comes directly from Yiddish, and was probably developed and ingrained in reaction to the bloody pogroms and cruel legal and de-facto apartheid practiced against the Jews in Eastern Europe.
Seems like it will take a little longer for the Yiddish vocabulary to drop the terms Goy and Goyim, in favor of Non-Jew and Gentile.
Charli Main says
@ Bettina

*****************************************
Nope @Bettina. Goy/Goyim is an ancient Hebrew word from the bible that was even used in relation to Abraham (When God told him “I will make you a numerous people (people=goy).
Goy=People (nation). Goyim=Nations/Peoples.
There’s nothing negative about the word. It’s matter of fact and neutral.
Of course, many words are like that but it also depends HOW you say something, I suppose.
Great Sage Ploni Almoni says
You’re an impostor! The word goy is Hebrew and comes straight from the Torah meaning people/nation (when God promises Abraham to make the Jews into a great NATION the exact word GOY is used)
Leith Wood says
I am sick, sad and disgusted with such evil. That doctor should be fired from practice for good. However the medical field is not always good about policing itself. America and the world sound and feel like Germany of the thirties. The only response is for sane people to rise up, speak out against such evil. Wake up everyone!

Belgium: Doctor refuses to help 90-year-old woman because she is Jewish — “Go to Gaza”
………………………………..
Repulsive. Shameful. An inexcusable betrayal of the Hippocratic Oath.
And all the more so because at *age 90* any broken bone can be fatal.
Impossible to know if this unnamed “Flemish doctor” is a Muslim, or a leftist antisemite.
And what would have happened if the family hadn’t known a district councilor in Antwerp? I don’t know the Belgian health service well enough, but it says this doctor was manning the telephone for the “duty of physicians”—would the family have been able to call anyone else, or were all calls for that region at that time relayed through this one doctor?
This also makes it especially appalling—this was not just a doctor on staff refusing to treat a patient (bad enough) when there would have been others to step in. Presumably he was handling *all* calls coming in with calls for treatment.
Even if the victim hadn’t been an innocent, elderly Jewish lady—what it this doctor had decided he wasn’t going to treat a criminal? Or what if—assuming for a moment that he is Muslim—he decided he wasn’t going to treat a Sunni or a Shi’ite or an Ahmadi? What if he decided that he wouldn’t treat a police officer or a soldier who might have served in Afghanistan?
And Bertha Klein is old enough to well remember the Holocaust, as she says—this renders “Never Again!” completely hollow.
I hope this creates *a big stink* in Belgium—really, in all of Europe. This is sickening, and should *never* be repeated.
voegelinian says
Islam and Medicine don’t mix — though seemingly moderate Westernized Muslim doctors, nurses, and medical assistants in various clinics may fool us into thinking it does.

Why is this “doctor” being shielded by the hospital and/or the press? Why isn’t his name being reported so his other patients can be warned of the monster they are dealing with?
muchiboy says
A “monster”? Likely not. His reaction and response to the 90 year old Jewish lady has to be criticized professionally and ethically.Yet,we need to see and understand that inappropriate response in the context of the horrific suffering of the Children of Gaza.Sometimes we do the wrong thing for an all too human feeling.
Gamaliel says
In that case he shouldn’t treat Muslims because it is Muslims who are responsible for this situation and for the suffering of their fellow Muslims. It is Muslims who are firing rockets at Israel. I wonder if you would be sympathetic toward Jewish doctors who refused to treat Muslims. I doubt it. A little bit of antisemitism eh. Any Jewish doctor who refused to treat a Muslim would be charged with discrimination and lose his license and fired. A Muslim doctor is protected and sympathized with.

The doctor said shortly after the story became known that this was done in an “emotional frenzy.”

Hmm, perhaps ‘sudden jihad syndrome’ is at work here. And his cruel remarks were said over the phone, so I hate to imagine what he would have said–or done–in her presence.
The teachings within islam are replete with antisemitism. What a sick excuse for a “religion” …death cult is more accurate.
Will says
Do we all forget the Flemish SS regiment “Wallonen” and the proNazi Flems?
This was no accident and they still harbour resentment over the WW2 hiding and as anti-Semitism becomes more “acceptable” in the EU so they all “come out of the closet”.
This “doctor” should be deregistered. I hate ALL Muslims but I would still treat one as I am so bound, unlike Muslim doctors and their cronies/allies who are steadily imitating Islamic ideals of living and practising without ethics.
Jerry says
Dr Mengele, I presume?
Gamaliel says
The real problem is when Muslim doctors in the West start killing their patients who will have died mysteriously during treatment.

Does give new life to ” walk in another’s shoes”! Ethics aside,does put things into perspective.But the ethics should never have been “put aside”.Here we see how difficult it can be at times to “tease out” Antisemitism from Anti Zionism.Anti Zionists are quick to point out that these two very different sentiments are one and the same.If indeed there is a valid and morally defensible argument,and there is,for the Anti Zionist position,then it becomes problematic given the Zionist position of the equivalence of one and the other.Zionists have some explaining and backtracking to do here.

What a load of absolutely wretched, witless moral equivalencing, and puerile attempts at ‘nuance’.

”Does give new life to ” walk in another’s shoes”!
What on earth is this supposed to mean ? Whose ‘shoes’ are you referring to, the poor old ninety year old woman with the broken rib, or the foul anti-Semite ‘doctor’, who refused to treat her because she was a **Jew** ?
Again:
” Ethics aside,does put things into perspective.But the ethics should never have been “put aside”.
This is just so convoluted and muddled, I can’t make head or tail of whatever it is you’re trying to say.
”Here we see how difficult it can be at times to “tease out” Antisemitism from Anti Zionism.Anti Zionists are quick to point out that these two very different sentiments are one and the same”
Again, this makes no sense whatsoever. It is **anti-Zionists** in fact, who attempt to exonerate themselves from the charge of anti-Semitism, by pretending that their Jew-hatred is actually no such thing, but simply anger against wicked Israel for ‘oppressing’ the ‘pooor palestinians’.
Because even yet, anti-Semitism isn’t cool, so these moral imbeciles attempt to cloak their vicious hatred with what they think is a new and pretty dress.
”If indeed there is a valid and morally defensible argument,and there is,for the Anti Zionist position”
No, there isn’t. Without going into the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, and subsequent Arab/mohammedan actions and behaviour, lets just stick to what is going on right now.
Israel **withdrew** from Gaza, pressured into this by the US, the UN, and ‘world opinion’. They did this because they were told, and probably believed, that this would result in **peace**.
What was the result ? Instead of making Gaza into a decent place for mohammedans to live, which they could have done easily, if they possessed one tenth of the gumption and spirit of the Israelis, the PA, and Hamas, used all the aid that was given by the foolish West, and **Israel** , not to build schools, hospitals, a decent water/sewage system and housing for their own people; no, instead the ruling elite used it to build mansions and luxury hotels for themselves, and on **building tunnels** to infiltrate Israel, so they could sneak into Israel and murder innocent civilians.
They used the aid to buy rockets, and explosives, that are now being fired into Israel. They used the aid to buy weapons, bullets, and suicide murder vests.
Hamas has no interest in making peace with Israel. Their own **Charter** states, unambiguously, they want nothing less than the **destruction** of Israel. Hamas uses its own people as human shields, and used its own **children**, to build the tunnels, and many of those children died. It is Hamas that has broken the ceasefires that Israel was pressured into accepting, not Israel.
”Zionists have some explaining and backtracking to do here”
No. It is people like you, who blindly swallow the mohammedan/Hamas lies and propaganda, and the anti-Israel bullshit of Obama and his ilk, and the human slime in the UN ( who openly allow Hamas to store rockets and weaponry in their facilities) who have some explaining and backtracking to do.
Israel is a tiny country, surrounded on all sides, not only by hostile mohammedan countries, who openly avow their Jew-hatred, and determination to destroy Israel, but is also being betrayed by the West for the ‘crime’ of **defending their country and its people** from genocidal Hamas.
It is **Israel** the world should be crying over, and defending to the hilt, **not** the vile, vicious, and murderous Hamas.

Oh dear, it looks like naziboy from frontpagemag is now posting his anti-Jewish diatribe on Jihadwatch. What a pity the Jewhaters were given their Jewish-invented vaccines as kids.
cookiebaker says
It is an insult to call this stooge a doctor.If he really cared he would be in Gaza helping take care of them!
itasara says
This so-called physician should be brought before the licensing board and hopefully will lose his license. I cerainly would not want him to be my doctor.
Uncle Vladdiq says
Belgium is the capital country of the entire EUSSR.
solution? Send this prick of a “doctor” to Gaza… permanently.
Uncle Vladdi says
He lives in the EUSSR’s capital country, Belgium. Send him to Gaza permanently!

Gee, now I don’t feel so bad about refusing to be treated by a muslim doctor!!! I figure it this way: I don’t expect muslims to give to Christian charities, and as they are required to give to “charity” by their “faith,” and I don’t wish to support muslim charities–which, after all, include Hamas, Hezbollah and other groups that want to kill me–I hire only non-muslim doctors. I figure it also keeps me from waking up with “unplanned complications.”
