US Org. Hosts Cancer Meet, Israelis not Welcome

(IsraelNN.com) A United States-based organization's conference on breast cancer awareness, to be hosted in Egypt, has been touted by international news networks as an example of “unprecedented cooperation” in the region. However, according to Channel 2 news, the celebration of unity may be premature, as Israeli doctors were told at the last minute that their invitations to participate had been rescinded.

This makes perfect sense, as we know that no medical breakthroughs have ever come from Israel, and their medical care is the worst in the entire middle east... Besides, Israeli doctors are only interested in stealing the organs from arab children.

The conference will be held in Alexandria, Egypt this week, under the auspices of the American group Susan G. Komen for the Cure – the world's largest breast cancer advocacy organization.

From the Komen Foundation: "Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Egypt Marked by Dynamic New Cooperation Among Advocates from U.S. and Middle East"

The Komen Foundation and the The US Agency for International Development, which are funding this nonsense, should be bombarded with protests. Make it clear that you will cut off all support for the Komen Foundation.

Antisemitism pleasing to the White House (which also
supports slavery, servitude of women, and the
Islamic invasion of, what was once, the USA).

In order better to assess the impact of this decision, shouldn’t we really have some photographic representations of Israeli women in the buff?

Israel Cancer Association (ICA)

For starters:

Brilliant breakthroughs in cancer research funded by ICA USA:

Professor Aaron Ciechanover (2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry)
Professor Ciechanover pioneered the field of protein degradation. Professor Ciechanover was among the first to show that cells can regulate their correct protein levels by using a degradation mechanism. Professor Aaron Ciechanover and Professor Avram Hershko were awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry (2004) for findings leading to therapies for cervical cancer and cystic fibrosis.

Professor Yair Reisner
Professor Reisner made an important contribution in the field of bone marrow transplantation. Due to his research, there has been an improved capacity to overcome severe side effects of a transplant from a matched donor.

Professor Yossi Shilo
The integrity of our genetic material is central for cells to stay healthy and normal. Professor Shilo discovered a key gene that plays a central role in the DNA repair machinery.

Professor Hadassah Degani
Professor Degani developed a non-invasive method to distinguish between cancerous tumors (of the breast) and benign lumps.

Professor Yosef Yarden
Professor Yarden discovered the function of a molecular amplifier that strengthens the chemical signals that cause cells to become cancerous. This finding may serve as a foundation for a new cancer treatment based on "silencing" the molecular amplifier.

Professor Israel Vlodavsky
One of the major problems with cancer is that cells of the primary tumor spread and generate metastasis in the body. In his work, Professor Vlodavsky has discovered new reagents which may function as active drugs in preventing the spread of tumors.

Small sample of ONE organization in Israel has done. There are far more breakthroughs, some ver recent on Colon Cancer and Ovarian cancer.

For shame on these haters who would prevent Israel's participation in this conference, but bigger shame for the organization that has organized and funded it.

Maybe these guys are only doing breast exams to detect cancer:

Jews suffer at unusually high rates of breast cancer. Sounds like a giant “go die” to 2.5 million Jewish women.

This was foreseeable. Why did Komen opt to have a conference in Egypt?

I won’t be supporting them.
