“Where babies die alone”
The benevolent mask has been torn off as multiple international publications have reported on the death of a Palestinian child from Gaza who was forced to undergo medical treatment in Jerusalem without the company of either of her parents last month.
Aisha Lulu, 5, had brain cancer and required specialized treatment unavailable in Gaza. None of her relatives were given permission to accompany her to Jerusalem. Aisha eventually made her way with a friend of the family – a stranger to the traumatized little girl.
“Sick Gaza child caught in Israeli permit system dies alone,” an AP headline reads.
“A Jerusalem hospital where Palestinian babies die alone: Israeli blockade on Gaza means parents are separated from critically ill children,” according to The Guardian.
Aisha’s is not an isolated case.
Hiba Swailam received permission to travel to Jerusalem “to give birth to gravely ill triplets two months early,” The Guardian reported this week.
The mother’s permit expired, forcing her return to Gaza.
“She was not there when her first child died at nine days old, or two weeks later when her second baby also died. She was informed by phone.”
Rough time for Israel's spin doctors
Sub-title should read:
Where people deliberately tell blatant lies to make Jews look evil
Neither of these stories is true.
Aisha's parents did receive permits to attend with Aisha, but chose not to accompany her and sent her with a family friend. Aisha was released from the Jerusalem hospital and returned home to Gaza, where she sadly succumbed to her illness several weeks later.
Hiba received an emergency permit to travel to Jerusalem when she went into premature labour with her triplets. She was present at the hospital when both of the male newborns died. In fact, she only left to bury both of the boys in Gaza, leaving her infant daughter at the hospital and fully expecting to return immediately. It was the PA which refused to apply for a permit for her to return to her daughter, despite the hospital's repeated requests for them to do so. So Israel issued a special permit allowing Hiba to return to her daughter.
So here's my problem with this sort of blatant lie. If there is plenty of legitimate things to criticize Israel for -- why are Arab Palestinians, and their supporters, working SO HARD to spread lies? Why do you stoop so incredibly low in your pursuit of demonizing the Jewish people, and their State?
