#1 Bravo! They want conventions honored? Take this for a convention: terrorists will be apprehended at any place, at any time, and in any way. If your culture approves of civilian bus bombings and child suicides, your militants are fair game at any place, at any time, and in any way. Bus bombers, suicidal maniacs, and their leaders don't honor international conventions. Go ahead -- be outraged about that!

#2 "We are not police, we are doctors first," said al-Johari. "We donât have the ability to stop people from coming in, to check IDâs, to act as a policing force in the hospital."

I am not a doctor but doesn't part of the Hippocratic oath state, without equivocation: First, do no harm?

These people are neck deep in a culture of nihilism and Marxist inspired violence. It would seem to me one of the more prudent measures a physician can take is to ensure he doesn't allow terrorist to hide in his facility to escape justice.

#3 It's really not the doctor's responsibility to monitor the doors of the hospital--in any large American city the public hospitals have security guards that can make arrests and detain. That's what needs to be done in the Palestinian hospitals if they don't want anymore midnight visits!
