Gordon: There was an incident at a Beersheba Hospital involving a Palestinian woman terrorist who had received skin transplant treatments authorized by you. Could you describe that incident and what it illustrates about Israeli humanitarianism versus fanatic Islamic Jihadism?
Eldad: I was instrumental in establishing the Israeli National Skin Bank, which is the largest in the world. The National Skin Bank stores skin for every day needs as well as for war time or mass casualty situations. This skin bank is hosted at the Hadassah Ein Kerem University hospital in Jerusalem where I was the chairman of plastic surgery. This is how I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza, who was hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheba after her family burned her. Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are suspected of having an affair. We supplied all the needed Homografts for her treatment. She was successfully treated by my friend and colleague Prof. Lior Rosenberg, and discharged to return to Gaza. She was invited for regular follow up visits to the outpatient clinic in Beersheba. One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide belt. She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the hospital where they saved her life. It seems that her family promised her that if she did that, they would forgive her.
This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land of Israel. It is not a territorial conflict. This is a civilizational conflict.

Dr. Arieh Eldad for Prime Minister of Israel.
Reading this story just broke my heart. We don’t live in a fair world certainly, in many ways not even a sane world. It’s such an effort to keep the wolf on the other side of the door, when at least half the world is trying to open the door and let him in.
You read this craziness, evil, and then you realize most college campuses are organizing aid to the other side, that many Americans are sympathetic to those who strapped the explosives on that girl.

Ummmm.. yea, that’s some kinda journalist there.
The end-game to war is victory, not peace. Peace comes as a result of victory. Until one side of the other in any war has bled all it can stand to bleed, the war will go on. Be it Israel/Arab or West/islam.
