Treatment at Israeli Hospital

TBO reported A badly burned Palestinian woman was alternately defiant and tearful Monday after Israeli soldiers caught her trying to enter Israel with 22 pounds of explosives hidden on her body. The woman, who suffered serious burns on her hands, feet and neck in a kitchen explosion five months ago, had been granted permission to cross into Israel from the Gaza Strip for medical treatment when she raised the suspicion of soldiers at the Erez checkpoint.

Jan Haugland blogged This is not just a failure to 'rein in' the terrorists. The Al Aqsa thugs have always been under the control of the Palestinian Authority and Fatah itself, and I have seen no reason to doubt that has changed. Even worse is the cult of death that ferments the Palestinian territories, fueled by clerics and politicians, which shows no sign of ending. This massive death propaganda is obviously instrumental in convincing young people that 'martyrdom' is the highest calling.

Captain Ed blogged No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, Palestinian Edition - The title of this post is a proverb that keeps proving its wisdom over and over again, in large things and small, but in this particular case it has taken on a despicable hue. The Israelis agreed to admit a Palestinian woman to its country in order to treat her for severe burns after a kitchen explosion left her scarred and in great pain. What did they get for their compassion and generosity? A suicide bomber -- but fortunately, an incompetent one. In its twisted way, it provides a perfect microcosm of the entire Palestinian conflict. No matter what happens, no matter how much the Israelis and the West work to get the Palestinians what they need to heal and live peacefully, the Palestinians only appear interested in killing everyone involved, including themselves. They have sold themselves on death instead of life, and reason and compassion hold no attraction for them.

This is really sad. Israel offers to treat a disfigured woman in their hospital, and she want to repay their gesture by killing as many as she can. And she thinks this is what Allah wants?
