Find out exactly why the “Palestinians” have such warped priorities in my forthcoming book The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process, which you can preorder here now.
“PA prioritizes salaries to terrorists over medical care for Palestinians,” by Maurice Hirsch and Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, March 31, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Until now Israel has been giving medical treatment in Israel to thousands of Palestinians every year. But this humanitarian program will now come to an end, as the Palestinian Authority has decided to stop sending its citizens in need of medical treatment to Israel. The PA’s explanation is as follows: Since Israel is refusing to transfer approximately $138 million to the PA this year that the PA spends on salaries to terrorists, the PA will no longer permit Palestinians to travel for medical treatment in Israel, for which the PA has to pay. Until now, it has been costing the PA about $100 million a year to cover the medical costs. In essence, the PA has decided to punish its own citizens in need of medical treatment which costs $100 million a year, because it lost $138 million that it pays to terrorists in Israeli prisons and released terrorist prisoners. Israeli law is explicit that should the PA stop paying salaries to terrorists, Israel could release and return all this money to the PA.
In 2015, the last year for which there are public records, over 102,000 Palestinians were granted permits to enter Israel for treatment, including over 20,000 Palestinians who received medical treatment in Israeli hospitals.
PA Ministry of Health Spokesman Osama Al-Najjar explained the cessation of medical referrals to the Israeli hospitals, starting from March 26, 2019, as follows:
“This decision was made in response to the deduction of sums [Israel transfers] from the taxes that [Israel] collects each month for the Palestinian coffers. He added that the cost of the referrals to the Israeli hospitals is $100 million a year.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 27, 2019]Stressing that the change of policy was not based on the desire to improve the medical care for Palestinians, Al-Najar added that: “The decision is political par excellence, and comes in response to Israel deducting sums from the money that it collects for us.”..

Maybe the Muslims could spend their money on building more medical schools that will produce more doctors and also turn to building more hospitals for themselves instead of spending it all on trying to destroy Israel. Maybe they could turn to building hospitals instead of mosques. Do Muslims believe the needs of the body are as important as the needs of the spirit — a sound mind in a sound body? Some people believe the body is the temple of the soul … do Muslims? Seems not.

You are thinking too Western. Islam had little to do with the spirit and all with robotically following Sharia.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, do Muslims even believe in such a thing as a soul? When a jihadi dies does his body go to Paradise so he can have endless sex with the houris? Yet, there is still a body left to bury (most of the time). And if a Muslim dies simply from old age, where do they think his soul goes — that is, if they think there is one I don’t see much of a spiritual quality about Islam at all and yet Muslims will say they love death more than life? Truly, it’s a puzzling religion.

Bet you Mahmoud Abbas will forgo medical treatment in Israel. Yeah

Since the ‘Palestinian’ moslemhood love death so much (and more than us-kuffar love life), perhaps they should be left without medi-care at all.
A sick suicide bomber is just as effective, although own ill intentions are measurable only in psychological terms (for the said medical condition called islam).
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, what you get back depends on how much you are willing to invest and where you invest. It’s just one of the rules of life in this world people have to follow ….. unless you want to break the rules and take away what others have gotten through their own risk and hard work. But then … Muhammad made his living by taking things away from others and his own psychological condition to this day remains highly suspect. The people who emulate him today are called mentally ill even by Muslims.
AleX says
Men who adhere to the doctrine of mohamet are sociopaths: they disregard the disbelievers’ property, life and freedom.
Women who accept islam tacitly agree when other women are enslaved, raped and abused. Thus, they become enablers of opression, selective, pathological liars and deluded sociopaths.
This parasitic system allows the ‘chosen’ members to thrive to the detriment of others and unfairly interfere with the laws of natural selection through either inbreeding or polygamous spreading of same gene. And I see no progress in it, since it forbids creativity, artistic expression, critical thinking, social justice, the humanist principle of equity and accountability.

Muslim hospitals always have missile factories in the cellar, right?
Frederick King says
Our President was very correct to cut off all funding to these creatures.
Indiana Tom says
Violent Jihad is the core of Islam. Is this event of not caring for its general populace really surprising?
Max says
Ask a Hamas or Iranian leader: “What is more important for you, looking after your citizens or venting your hate on Jews? The answer would be obvious to everyone.
elee says
He is facilitating the martyrdom of his soldiers. Medicine thwarts and delays their trip to paradise. He serves his people well by helping them attain what they most desire. Allah smiles on him.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Reading “The Haj” by Leon Uris gave me a pretty good idea of how warped the fakestinians are and always were towards their own people – under their “Grand” Mufti and hitler’s friend, Haj-Amin al-Husseini, they did exactly what’s noted above: refused to give their own people medical coverage or build schools, in favor of blaming “da Joos” for their woes. But then it’s no surprise, as islam itself is just such a despair-based and self-fulfilling prophecy of paranoid masochism.
J D.S says
Just more and more stupidity in Islam…….taking needed monies from starving, medically hurting individuals and giving it to undeserving families of jihadist now how stupid is this? What can I say..This us MUSLIMLAND not Disneyland.

Hardihardihar says
Paying terrorists or their families is an act of war and in war one fights to conquer the enemy. What in hell is the matter with Israel? How can they put up with that. They should have moved their tanks into every corner of this warring tribe, arrested all the leaders and put an end to this circus years ago.
