The Washington Times has a disturbing story about Arabs who refuse to let their children go to Israel to receive life-saving cardiac surgery facilitated by Israeli charities. Diyar Raouf, mother of a 6-year-old boy with a life-threatening heart condition, said, “These feelings were born with us. They are inbred.”

So, as she nurtures Jew-hating pathology in her son, Raouf makes the argument for anti-Semitism from birth. Meanwhile, Israeli charities like Save A Child’s Heart and Shevat Achim continue to offer life-saving medical assistance to Muslim children.

What’s worse is that the medical establishment is catering to the fanaticism of parents like Raouf by helping them find alternative medical facilities without batting an eye:

Dr. Kubaisy was senior cardiac consultant and former director of the Ibn al Bitar Hospital for Cardiac Surgery in Baghdad before it was burned and looted in 2003. When he was told of the Israel plan, he and other Iraqis living in Amman looked for options. Algeria responded right away.

The Washington Times does not even acknowledge the extraordinary humanitarian impulse behind these charitable offers. Which goes to show that the talk of Israel’s need to demonstrate its moral high ground to the larger world is nonsense. They can handover land or save Arab lives, but it makes, apparently, no difference at all.
