Israel-Palestine-Jordan

Palestinian terrorist expected to be swapped for hostages demanded Israel pay for her plastic surgery after explosive she detonated left her with serious burns

2023-11-23

Golly. Life really is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid. It's even tougher than that if you're stupid and hideous.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Paleostinian terrorist expected to be released in the hostage exchange controversially demanded Israel pay for her plastic surgery after injuring herself in an attack.Asraa Jabas, 38, was seriously disfigured after a gas cylinder went kaboom! during an attack in 2015 in the West Bank which also left a policeman badly hurt.
Give her a Sisal Burqa and call it good
She was sentenced to eleven years but since being convicted has successfully applied twice for funding to have plastic surgery — sparking outrage.

The attack in the city of Ma'ale Adumim, 18 miles from Jerusalem, left the police officer involved with serious burns to his face.

As news spread that she was to be one of the prisoners released as part of the deal, several victims groups said they would file a petition to oppose her freedom.

Under Israeli law, when Paleostinian inmates are freed as part of any deal their names are published on the Ministry of Justice website and anyone opposing the decision has 24 hours to file a claim.

Israeli media reported that Jabas was on the list and had successfully been awarded two grants to have plastic surgery but a third one applying to have her nose rebuilt last year was refused.

Officials rejected the request as they said that unlike the surgery to her hands this was 'not necessary to maintain her health'.

News reports from 2015 revealed how Jabas detonated a device close to a checkpoint after the 45-year-old policeman who was injured Moshe Chan, stopped her for acting suspiciously.

As she pulled to a halt she jumped out and shouted 'Allah Akbar' before detonating a gas cylinder hidden in her bag.

Both were taken to hospital for treatment to severe burns and Mr Chan, who was awarded a medal for his bravery, later expressed his surprise at learning she had applied for surgery.

He said: 'I have post-traumatic stress disorder and this woman who caused this is in prison getting an education and now applying for cosmetic surgery.

'Now this terrorist wants to do surgery, what's the conclusion? Every man who is going to carry out an attack, goes to prison, earns a degree and comes out handsome too.

'The entire nation of Israel is harmed by these attacks, and the Lions of Islam are given the entire basket of medicines.

'We are an excellent country, but in these things where a person is in prison for causing harm, so I just don't understand how a person gets both a degree and cosmetic treatment.

#7 ^ Government is a blunt and stupid instrument which is one reason a market economy runs rings around central planning. Regulating grocery bags, fer cripes sake!

In previous prisoner exchanges Israeli/jihadi prisoner exchanges, the exchange ratio was always amusing to me. You could get dozens of Paleos for single Israeli. Just like you can trade a dollar for a dozen carrots at the grocery. You may argue that all lives are equally valuable, but in this case, the market has spoken.

#6 Skid, you dont have a climate change hand job for a governor. State mandate. And then the pricks charge a penny for sales tax. Daughter actually retuned one when a store pissed her off: dumped her crap in the car and took it, sales slip in hand in and got her 9 cents back. And since it was a food store they couldnt reuse it; had to trash it.

#5 British anchor: Israel's willingness to enter a 3 for 1 exchange means it does not value Palestinian lives

#4 Contrarywise, you could let her finish the job and only have to pay for a hand grenade.

#3 With only a eye slit on fashion, the regular burka should suffice.

#2 In Washington state ...
In Texas, groceries give'em away.
She would need a double.

#1 Would a plastic bag over her head count as surgery? In Washington state said bag costs 8 cents. Sounds like. A deal
