Sick Palestinians die at Israeli checkpoints, unable to get to hospital

It seems obvious that the Palestinians should stop terrorism so they can stop suffering from the results of their own violence.

How many sick Jews are killed by suicide bombers when they go to the store to fill a prescription or buy a loaf of bread and get blown up?

If the Palestinians want better health care, they should use their money to build hospitals and medical clinics in their own territories instead of building bombs to kill Jews.

And if they want freedom of travel, they should stop the terrorism.

No link? Why is that, little jihadist?

[uncbob]

Why does everybody accept this at face value

They put out lies and BS
So if I refuse to believe stories that are true I could care less

Why should anyone believe what these Arabs say?

What a steaming pile of propaganda.

As long as no puppy dogs have died, it's no big deal.

Mohammad Oudeh watched his 18-month-old niece die as he waited in vain to get her through an Israeli army checkpoint on the outskirts of Nablus for urgent treatment in hospital.

Poor little thing. Imagine those damn cruel Israelis denying a little baby the right to grow up so her parents can strap on a belt of C-4 to her so she could kill innocent unarmed Israelis and become a Martyr.

[Teacher317]

How many Pallies are dancing in the streets over their martyrdom?

[skeeter]

I understand the delivery trucks from the Baby Milk Factorytm are having trouble getting through Isreali checkpoints, as well.

This poor father, he must be so sad.
If it were me, I'd hunt down Arafat for revenge.
Especially since any disagreement with Arafat or the PA thugs and you are lynched and brutally killed as a collaborator.

With all the likely candidates willing to assassinate that SOB, he should be glad he has a few safe days left in his ivory tower turned cellblock.

No way Arafat lives out the year.
Betcha dollars to donuts, he's toast, killed by an Arab.

Well, then, you shouldn't have violated the neutrality of ambulances by using them to transport homicide bombers.

Israeli Roadblock did not cause newborn’s death: AP Corrects False Story

July 12, 2001

'The AP today (July 12) corrected a false story it had sent out yesterday which reported that a Palestinian newborn died as a result of an inordinately long wait at an Israeli checkpoint. According to the original story, a pregnant Palestinian woman on the way to hospital gave birth while her taxi was delayed for two-and-a-half hours at an Israeli checkpoint, leading to the death of the baby. The original story, featuring authentic sounding details, claimed that the woman’s husband pleaded with soldiers to let them through, to no avail.-snip-

However, in today’s story, entitled “Relatives of woman who gave birth at Israeli checkpoint say they were not held up by troops,” the AP admitted that the story was false. Israeli soldiers manning the checkpoint had allowed the taxi to pass, Dr. Hamdan lied when he claimed to have been there, and Israel was in no way responsible for the baby’s death.'
