We know that Hamas would not properly treat a single wounded Israel, whether soldier or civilian, who fell into its clutches. We already have heard about a half-dozen Israelis who were wounded and then taken hostage back to Gaza, only to be killed while in the terrorists’ custody. That’s not how the Israelis behave. They treat wounded terrorists, saving their lives, bringing them if need be to the most advanced medical facilities in Israel. There are dozens of these Hamas terrorists now recuperating in Israeli hospitals, where they receive the same care as Israelis. This story doesn’t get any attention in the international media because, of course, it doesn’t fit the narrative of colonial-settler-apartheid Israel, committing genocide on the helpless Palestinians. Here is the latest news about one such Hamas patient, alive today because of Israeli surgeons: “Hamas terrorist wounded in Gaza being treated in Israeli hospital — reports,” Times of Israel, December 13, 2023:
A Hamas terrorist wounded in fighting in the Gaza Strip is being treated in Sharon Hospital in Petah Tikva, Hebrew media reported Wednesday.
The move is in apparent contravention of a Health Ministry decision, made in the immediate aftermath of Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, that captured terrorists would only be treated in IDF or prison service medical facilities.
According to the reports, the man was seriously injured in fighting on Tuesday and due to the severity of his wounds, it was decided to transfer him to the central Israel medical center….
Sources familiar with the decision told Channel 12 and Kan that captured terrorists needing urgent medical treatment were being rotated through different Israeli hospitals. The official said the rotation agreement was done in coordination with the Health Ministry.
Soroka hospital in Beersheba confirmed to Kan that it also has a Gaza terrorist being treated there.
The comments appeared to indicate that Israel has shifted its stance from the initial decision not to treat captured terrorists in Israeli hospitals.
In early October, then health minister Moshe Arbel sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informing him that he had ordered all public hospitals and health services to redirect injured terrorists to IDF or prison service medical facilities.
“Since the beginning of the war, the issue of treating the accursed Hamas terrorists in public hospitals has created great strain on the healthcare system,” Arbel wrote.
He wrote that the health system needed to be focused on treating victims of the slaughter committed by the terrorists, injured soldiers, and on preparing for what is to come in the war.
“The task of treating and providing security for the accursed terrorists in the public health care system just detracts from this,” Arbel wrote….
The original idea was that it made sense, given the security problem of guarding Hamas patients in treatment, to place them not in ordinary Israeli hospitals, but in IDF or prison service medical facilities, where there is already a heavy security presence. But in the end, because some of these patients needed a level of care that those facilities could not provide, it was decided to let the Hamas patients be treated in the same hospitals as Israelis, where they would of course receive the same high level of care as all the other patients. Dozens of wounded Hamas members have already received such care, in several cases life-saving, in Israeli hospitals. It’s a story that has not appeared on the BBC, CNN, NPR, or in the pages of The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. After all, it shows Israel in a good light, and for many in the international media, that would never do.
Israeli doctors saving the lives of Hamas terrorists leads us to ask, yet again: Genocide? What genocide?

Well, as Victor Davis Hanson has observed, we are living in “an empire of lies.”‘

It’s all well and good to portray Israeli doctors as saints for providing excellent care for their enemies. But the world would be a far better place if the Israelis had not saved Yahya Sinwar by
performing surgery when his life was threatened by a brain tumor.Some of the most saintly people I know are also the biggest fools.
Toni says
Well, to their credit, the Israelis do not want to play God and decide who’s worthy of treatment & who’s not. They also still have hope that their kindness will somehow translate into a change in the terrorists’ mentality, which reveals that they don’t really understand that it’s demonically inspired & won’t change without a spiritual encounter.

True. Mohammed was a medium, not a prophet – it says in one of the hadiths that the being who dictated the Koran crushed his chest, which is typical of trance mediumship.

You really do have to love yourself and your family and your community before you love your enemies or you are not really loving yourself and yours at all

Which is where the term “holy fool” comes from.
The metaphor is much more well known in Eastern European circles than the West.
Dostoevsky based an entire novel on the idea………..titled “The Idiot”.

Societal suicide is painless. And this is the way it’s accomplished.

We don’t have to go this route to prove to anyone that we are moral. In fact, the hospitalization of this monster is outrageous- if anything, he could have been treated in a mossad medical facility if they wanted to interrogate him for Intel gathering, then send him straight to prison. Others would say that he could have been left to suffer the same fate he was trying to inflict on Israelis – death, And others would like to see the dead terrorist’s organs harvested in order to save the lives of Israeli civilians and soldiers who are fighting for their lives precisely because of monsters like him.
Lightbringer says
These are the people who will likely come back and attack Israel, perhaps performing mass casualty events or the kind of atrocities of October 7. And every other of its wars in history, from the attack on peaceful Jewish Khaybar to Constantinople to the harmless communities of southern Israel last October. They are a people utterly lacking in gratitude or humanity.
DC says
In the movie Saving Private Ryan is that character who is assigned to the Ranger unit as a translator/language specialist.
He’s very weak and full of conflicted ideas about what needs to be done.
He becomes friends with a captured German soldier and at one point lets him go free out of some misguided “moral superiority” delusion.
That German soldier comes back later in the movie and kills several members of the Ranger unit including the one Jewish member.
Of course our educated pacifist lives through the battle whereas most of the others die.
I always wondered what exactly Spielberg was trying to say with that.
But I know how I took it………….and I hold pacifists in EXTREMELY low regard.
John Blackman says
if you think that hamas operatives or any towel head for that matter would be grateful for medical treatment instead of a bullet you are delusional and obviously know nothing about islam and its braindead adherents . get yourself a copy of brigitte gabriels book ” because they hate ” and all your illusions will disappear , then avail yourself of any of robert spencer videos or books . then go and get as much islamophobia as you can cram into your head . the sooner the better . unfortunately republicans starting with bush and continuing with cadaver joe continue with the fiction of the ” religion of peace ” lie and it will be the undoing of the west and democracy , in americas case the republic all thanks to the ruling elite .
Jesse says
I think there are fewer illusions than you think. I think these actions are based on the value system of the Israelis. Israel has taken these actions many times in the past. I think they have no illusions that the terrorist will change his colors, ways or beliefs.
There may be some extreme leftists that think that this is the way to gain gratitude and humanity, but that’s a leftist for you. By design, wrong about everything.

“Israel Treats Wounded Hamas Nazi in Hospital”
This needs to stop.
This Hamas animal needs to be dispatched.
I understand the elevated morality of many Jews…….which is commendable.
But this Hamas animal needs to be dispatched.

Treat ’em – then TRY ’em and hang ’em!
