The case that I recall easiest here is the case of a teeenage Gazan girl whose propane stove exploded as she cooked super for her brothers. Treated locally which is usually the first option, her doctors almost killed her with shoddy treatment that led to massive infection of her face and neck areas which had been burned the worst.
She was then treated in Israel, here life was saved, and she was eventually able to return home to Gaza, scarred but quite healthy physically. She of course required follow up treatments to minimise that scarring as well as psychological counseling because her fiance rejected her based on her disfigurement.
This enabled her to get a Humanitairna Express Pass which is one of the many different levels of passes given to non-Israeli Arabs annd others who must cross the Green-Line for Humanitarian reasons and who mut do so in a guanrateed timely fashion due to exact appointment times,etc.
She then decided to strap Semtex and ball bearings to her body, return to the hospital that had saved her life and that wa continuing to treat her absolutely free, and detonate as she sat in the waiting area, once her caregivers appeared, thus not only killing her fellow patients, many of whom are Gazans treated free of charge as all are, as well as her physician and nurses. Niiiiiiice.
She was interecepted at the borrder, and for full disclosure it is a case with which I do have personal connections to, and a roboto disarmed her.
As the robot did so she screamed and cried as she tried to detonate but failed to do so due to loose wires running up her sleeve from the hand held button.
In custody journalists, both Israel and non were given access to her as they are to non-Intel cache cases and her remarks? Only that he goal had and remained to be abelt o kill as many "Jews " (not Israelis) as possible.
Isn't the BBC a fair agency? Do they not give us a fair shake? Judge yourself.
Rachamim I'd also like to see a link because its a big story and I'm surprised something this monstrous wasn't covered in the media over here or I may have missed it.
Here is the Wiki on it, Wiki is getting better at editing so I now consider it a source worth considering and pretty good at filtering the prop. out,etc.

Woman arrested
Israeli soldiers apprehended a Palestinian woman on Monday as she tried to enter Israel through Gaza's Erez border crossing with explosives packed into an undergarment, the army said.
The woman, a burn victim, had permission to travel to the southern Israeli city of Beersheba for medical treatment, a day before a planned summit in Jerusalem between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
"She was a suicide bomber, a young, scarred woman ... who had undergone treatment in (Israel) in the past," Colonel Avy Levy, head of Israel's northern Gaza brigade, told Israel Radio.
"Terrorist groups wanted to take advantage of her condition and use her to carry out an attack in Israel," he said. "She thought because she was ill, we wouldn't check her."
Under her clothing, the woman wore "knee-high pants rigged with approximately 10 kilos (22 lb) of explosives", the army said in a statement.
Israeli media reports said the woman had been ordered by al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades to blow herself up in Soroka hospital in the southern city of Beersheba.
The army could not confirm the reported target. The brigades, part of the mainstream Fatah faction, declined to comment.
Speaking to Israel TV on Sunday night, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he was committed to preserving the calm during the withdrawal.
"We will do all that we can to ensure that the disengagement is carried out quietly," he said.
For those asking for a link. I am glad to when asked in a civil manner, as opposed to being called cun% .
Keyboard: For the record, we have treated countless Gazans and Arabs for many nations, free of charge, and have done so to our own detriment. All that is actually needed is a lack of murderous intent on some of their part and things should be peachy.
Dear oh dear...
Still playing the ad hom defence. Lets just take a look eh....
Have we ever entered into discourse without use of the word cunt? Course we have........but I'm guessing (since you are still hiding behind this ad hom attack) you'd like to show urban the principled stand you took when I did call you a cunt?
But of course its important to put things in their true context-for clarity.
You're FIRST claim was the ISM leadership doctored the photos of Rachel Corrie's death and admitted as such. That claim was made back in November 2006. I repeatedly asked you for evidence of this.
You're SECOND claim was that the producers of the show that featured the section of Captain R admitted in court that their section was 'pure fantasy'-that claim was made way back December 2006. I repeatedly asked you for evidence of this.
Finally you're THIRDdisputed claim was made the same month-that at the time the trial had indeed ended. Again I repeatedly asked you for evidence of this.
So.....some TWO months after consistent badgering and requests not just from me the dreaded insult was thrown. Of course-what was your response? Did you refuse to engage? Did you turn your back on me?
No of course not. Infact you continued to engage with me and promise me the evidence I requested on SEVERAL occasions. Spewing out promisesafter promises which went on for month after month. Always the same line-you would provide all the evidence when you were off duty.
Not one single mention of the insult. When you finally realised that the questions were still being asked and clearly they weren't going away-you finally saw fit to pull up this single ad hom attack (initially wrongly attributing it to your mother) some 5 months ago and you've since hidden behind that like the coward you are.
No wonder Moono resigned from this forum. Your consistent weaving and avoiding small pressing issues like facts (the backbone of any debate) is frustrating to say the least.
I should never have called you a cunt (not matter how wound up I became) because now I've handed you the the perfect excuse on a platter. Your get out of jail card. You can grandstand to the forum all you want by trying to paint me out to be the aggressive person and you the 'victim' that was on the verge of providing the evidence to substantiate the claims until the insult was thrown.
Truth is-that insult didn't stop you from engaging with me for months and months. Now like a cheap excuse you wheel it out to cover up for your pathetic lying.
Now get back to what you do best...exaggerating, making unsubstantiated claims, peddling out the ad hom defence. You are no purveyor of the truth-you're a charlatan and apologist. You know no shame.
Also notice that the person you quoted for "posterity" admits calling me a cun%. Thing is, it has happened so many times that I could not possibly tally them. I also still maintain that my mother was called as much although that truly makes no difference either to me or the issue. It is just indicative of this whole nonsense. I am going to have to ask you to be an adult.
So are all terminally ill patients allowed out?
Garfield: I will adress you one time here. To those interested in the actual subject, n apology.
Editor did, and I asked for access past 6 months in the Site Archives to produce one, as you surely know but that is not the issue is it? All I will say to you is that if you do not begin talking about issues with me, not personality related garbage, you will be left alone in the sandbox. I have 7 children, you are not one of them so take a hike, ok?
Oh, but before doing that, visit my nation so you actually can answer questions posed here.

Will Garf actually be allowed in?
IF you DO go, also let me know if may be of assistance, or rather connections as I will be elsewhere for the better part of this year anyway. If you claim to have seen both sides, let me show you one side again.
