Israeli Hospital Offers Free Care to Lebanese

July 25, 2006 - 10:15 PM by

According to the Jerusalem Post:

Lebanese children and adults wounded in the Hizbullah-Israeli crossfire in Lebanon have been invited to receive free treatment at Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer. The cost will be paid by Jewish and non-Jewish donors in Israel and abroad, hospital director-general Prof. Zev Rothstein said on Sunday.

“We are not to blame for this war. We don’t ask who is to blame,” said Rothstein. “We have an open Jewish heart. Our aim is to save lives and reduce misery. We don’t hate like the terrorists,” he added.

“It is better for a Lebanese family to hear that Israelis saved their lives rather than for them to teach their children that they should kill Israelis.

It wouldn’t be unusual for Sheba. Like several Israeli hospitals, they treat Arab and Palestinian children on a regular basis, including those who need heart surgery and treatment for cancer — the costs are usually shared by the hospital and charitable organizations.

    2. I am a lebanese living in the US, I applaud you for this, I just wish it would make a difference, But knowing how most “islamists” think, I don’t know how good it will do! I sure hope I’m wrong though!
