Another good example of unintended consequences
The Times of London has this interesting piece today about a 14 month old leukemia patient in the Palestinian Authority who is unable to receive adequate treatment for their cancer due to the terrorist group Hamas having been elected to run the PA. Of course, the lesson here is that actions have consequences. The Palestinians elected these slimebags, and now they are going to pay the piper.
Â
MOHMIN ABU AMRA was admitted to Nasser Children’s Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip two weeks ago for urgent treatment for leukaemia. Instead, the 14-month-old boy found himself on the front line of a political war against Hamas.
Doctors say they do not have the drugs needed to save him because funds have been withheld by the West.
 As the Quartet of international Middle East mediators gathered last night to discuss the freeze on Western aid to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, humanitarian organisations voiced concern that shortages of medicines were putting lives at risk.
Doctors say that patients such as Mohmin, or ten-year-old Fayda in an adjoining ward, and many others across Gaza and the West Bank have been caught up in a battle of wills between Hamas, which refuses to recognise Israel, and a world determined to turn the suicide-bombers-turned-politicians into pariahs.(emphasis mine)
No, for the Israelis it’s not at all a battle of wills. That makes it sound as if the Israelis are just being stubborn. For Israel, it’s a battle for survival, and nothing less. Notice the line about “suicide bombers turned politicians”. What a bunch of total bullshit that is! Are the Times writers actually stupid or deluded enough to beleive Hamas has completely given up terrorism for politics?
