| [Iran Press TV Latest] Israel is extorting information about resistance groups in the Gaza Strip from Palestinian patients in exchange for medical treatment, Hamas claims. Hamas Health Minister Dr. Bassem Naim on Sunday claimed that Tel Aviv is providing medical treatment to Palestinian patients in exchange for intelligence about the resistance operatives and figures in Gaza, Ynet reported Sunday. Naim made the remarks in a meeting with a Scottish delegation who brought medical supplies and drug contributions to the besieged strip. He said patients who refused to cooperate were not allowed to cross over for treatment in Israel. Sick Palestinians are questioned for hours in the sun before being subjected to a humiliating physical search, Naim told the Scotts. He also accused the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank city of Ramallah of collaborating with Israel and exacerbating the long-running blockade on the coastal territory. Some 324 Palestinian patients have reportedly died because they were denied access to medical treatment in Israel. |

| #8 Maybe having that "sick" woman BLOW HERSELF UP in the hospital wasn't a really great idea after all, huh? |

| #5 I hear Egypt has a simply wonderful medical system... of course, they examine those who wish to cross the border as well. A quandary, that. |

| #2 Sounds to me like the Palieo's have had 324 failed attempts to send a suicide bomber across as a patient. In other words: Israel is not to ask if the patient is a terrorist. Israel is not to search the patient to make sure they aren't a homocide bomber. Israel is to just take them in, over the crossing and let them blow up like good Dhimmi's. |

| #1 Oh, yeah? Well, I heard it was 324,000 Palestinians that died, that they were made to stand in the hot sun for days before being subjected to humiliating physical searches and they were forced to eat rancid falafel before being denied medical care. Those mooks at PressTV are starting to slack off. I suggest they import some highly trained Nork PR spinmeisters to give their stuff some (sea of) fire. |
