Sheba Medical Center to treat Lebanese for free

[eyl]

Given the amount of posts I've seen here (especially on GD) implying (or stating outright) that Israel's aim is apparently to kill as many Lebenese civilians as possible, I though this was worthy of notice:

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.

Humanitarian treatment for Lebanese victims of the war will not come at the expense of Israeli patients, said the hospital director-general. "Israelis gain by the fact that we have experience treating patients from around the world and the region with all kinds of conditions. We have extra beds, including in intensive care and rehabilitation. We have housing for Lebanese families and food at no cost."

The Health Ministry, which owns Sheba, has been informed of the hospital's offer to Lebanese, which has been promoted on Arabic-language radio broadcasts and by a Sheba representative stationed in Cyprus, where many refugees have gone.

Ziv Hospital in Safed is currently treating a 47-year-old Lebanese woman brought by her son with bullet wounds in her back to the border. She is in serious condition, attached to a respirator and under anesthesia.

1. So first they bomb them, then they treat them? Why not just

stop bombing? This is equivalent to the US offering humanitarian aid while not endorsing a ceasefire that would have precluded the need for humanitarian aid.

3. The medical centre isn't the Israeli govt....

The medical staff aren't bombing the Lebanese, it's their govt that's doing that....

6. I imagine it's going to be really hard for the Lebanese people

to wrap their heads around that one, especially as those autographed missiles are landing in their neighborhoods.

7. The photos of the kids autographing the missiles upset me so much

And, some DU posters smarmy comments excusing the adults egging on those kids to hate make it even worse. I don't give a damn what nation teaches their kids this... it is truly sickening....
