If this story was supposed to elicit sympathy, it does not. These people are merely further victims of Palestinian terror.
To: veronica
So, what you are telling me, is that these people LIE, and the media help them disseminate these LIES?
I am SHOCKED I tell you, shocked! {NOT}

The other story is:
Six suicide bombing-massacres averted by the inability of terrorists to smuggle explosive vests secreted in Red Crescent ambulances through Israeli checkpoints.

When you use ambulances to hide explosives for suicide attacks, don't complain when the other side decides to stop ambulances from moving.

If Arafat and other PNA leaders gave a rats arse about the "Palestinian" people they would have invested in schools, infrastructure, democracy and economic growth instead of suicide training centers.
I feel no sorrow for "Palestinians". They are simply dupes for Arab nations who hate Israel and want to kill Jews.
To: RCW2001
What's this? Arafat had money for making bombs and importing weapons but did not use any to build a PALESTINIAN hospital? When we give him BILLIONS of US DOLLARS a year? Just plain shocking!

If these "innocent" people have condoned or supported their murderous terrorist leadership, then they are no less "innocent" than the German and Japanese civilians during WW2. You pay the consequences for your support or acquienscence.
Next time, choose your leadership more carefully.

Why don't these people have their own hospitals and proper medical care?? How much money have we sent their "government"??? Instead of concentrating on blowing up their children, they should concentrate on having their own healthcare system etc..

Mohammad Oudeh watched his 18-month-old niece die as hewaited in vain to get her through an Israeli army checkpoint on the outskirts of Nablus for urgent treatment inhospital.Don't believe it.
"We are suffering a humanitarian disaster. Dozens of people are dying each day from the closure of the villages," Mustafa Barghuti, head of Palestinian medical relief, told AFP.
More propaganda. Don't believe it.
"My father was going three times (a week) to have dialysis in Al-Watani hospital in Nablus. We tried to ask for ambulances, for the Red Crescent, but the army did not allow us to move," his son Rafid told AFP.
Don't believe it. More propaganda.
Omar Abu Rub said that when his brother Mohammad, 40, complained of chest pains the original diagnosis was a mild stroke but within a matter of days he was dead because they were unable to get him medical care.
Don't believe it. More propaganda.
The head of hospitals in the West Bank, Mussa Abu Hmeid, said complete statistics of the number of people to have died because they could not get medical treatment had not been compiled, but the victims included a 12-year-old boy who was hit by a bullet in the Askar refugee camp near Nablus.
Don't believe it. More propaganda.
In Jalbun village, Fakhri Abu Al Rub said he tried all the emergency services when his mother had a stroke on April 12 but it was impossible to get assistance.
Don't believe it. More propaganda.

If the Palestinians weren't abusing ambulances to smuggle in explosives and suicide bombers, injured and sick Palestinians would be readily able to be transported to the hospital. Unfortunately the need to protect Israel from more suicide bombings means ambulances have to be throughly checked for bona-fides. And that means some people who do need urgent medical care could well die. There's a name for the situation doctors are familiar with: its called triage. Israel is doing its best to balance security needs with the Palestinian casualties and this means delays. If terrorists in America were abusing medical transport, we'd face a similar dilemma. Give Israel credit for trying to make sure no one is worse off than they should be.

Why don't these people have their own hospitals and proper medical care??
Because their career goal is Homicide Bombers. There is not a need for medical care or hospitals when your intent is to be splattered to smetherines and everyone surrounding you.

Democracies attach significance and even sovereignty to individual citizens. That fact makes every citizen of a republic a potential target for an Assassin.
Verbally or not, assassins lie to their victims and stab them in the back. Assassins practice on the trust of their targets, and thus subvert that trust. The appearance is that false witness is OK to the assassin cult, and that official "establishment" Islam accepts that cult and encourages it.
The cost of accepting that cult is the distrust of anyone who is not within it. And if the consequence of distrust is truly manifest in the death of an innocent--which seems itself to be a contemptible lie in this case--if so, I say, it would be evil to blame the victim who was forced to distrust, rather than the perpetrator who induced it.
To the assasin, the putative inocent 'victim' of distrust is collateral damage. Even less regretable than that, an opportunity.

The Palis have been using ambulances to transport weapons as least since the beginning of the latest unrest a year-and-a-half ago. Remember when it was all a bunch of kids throwing rocks? The Palis would load rocks into ambulances and rush them to the front lines when the kids ran out.
The Palis do not respect the rules of civilized war (an oxymoron, I know). They have used children as bombers and ambulances as armories. One woman detonated a bomb strapped to her abdomen that was designed to look like she was pregnant. When people do this, bad things happen to them. They should hope that putting up with a delay at a checkpoint is the worst of it.

Dozens of people are dying each day See the following for some context for understanding this bizarre claim.
Arab Governments No Strangers to Fiction
Lies and Disinformation as a Palestinian Weapon
Arab national socialists and Islamofascists have studied diligently at the metaphorical feet of the late Josef Goebbels and done their best to master the technique of the Big Lie. Unfortunately, the Arab rhetorical tradition often gets the better of them and they ruin it by grandiose exaggeration (as here). That's why they need so much help from their admirers in the western press corps to get across plausible smears of Israel and the US.

Great news! This should save even more money than traditional managed care approaches....

It seems obvious that the Palestinians should stop terrorism so they can stop suffering from the results of their own violence.Well said. However the media will turn it around to demonize the IDF and Israel and sympathize with the palis!!!
