Here is a reality check for the critics of Israel. In 2002, my friend Yoni Jesner, 19, was killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber on a bus in the second intifada while he was studying in Tel Aviv. When Yoni died, his organs were donated to a young Palestinian girl, whose life was saved by Yoni's family. In 2008, when Yahya Sinwar, the future leader of Hamas, was in prison in Israel, he developed a brain tumor. An Israeli surgeon operated on his head and saved his life. Earlier this year I visited a special medical center in Israel called Save A Child's Heart, in which world leading surgery is being offered to children who are flown from third world countries with their mothers to the hospital in Israel for stays of up to a year or longer while their children receive this life-saving treatment. Every day in Israel, the ambulance service Magen David Adom, services every single denomination of person in medical need; whether Jewish, Muslim, Christian or other. Throughout Israel's existence, Palestinian children have been brought from the territories into Israel to receive life-saving treatment by Israeli doctors. If Israel wanted to intentionally target and genocide Palestinian children and do any of the things that perverted accusers are alleging Israel has done during this war, the Jewish state would not have extended its medical services for its 75 year existence to its Palestinian and Arab neighbors, and communities far beyond its borders. Even criminals like Sinwar are treated as any other human being. Learn some things. Process the things you're learning. And consider where your bias lies.
