I know them personally and can certify they're first-rate physicians. If the man is a vegetable is due to some other problem, and I doubt he would have been saved by an Arab, even from my city.Ibrahim Ibn Yusufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839484683464457225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-57698048084248032732008-07-29T18:47:00.000+03:002008-07-29T18:47:00.000+03:00FROM CAROL HERMANAcademia, such as it is, is now i...FROM CAROL HERMAN<BR/><BR/>Academia, such as it is, is now involved in its own agendas. Where getting credentialed costs you more than buying a house. <BR/><BR/>And, it all may be running out of steam, anyway.<BR/><BR/>But on what note?<BR/><BR/>By treating their universities as Jew Zones? No one else is invited? <BR/><BR/>Used to be Jews were known as the People of BOOKS. Where (just like the Chinese), young kids were taught to take book learning seriously.<BR/><BR/>Israel is now suffering MORE from her own inbred religious characters. Substituting a knowledge of the world, with the backwards books of long ago. Sans updates. Too sad for words.<BR/><BR/>Oh, Ibramhim, in AMerica, Iranian, Irakian, Syrian, Indian, Sri Lankan ... all sorts of people from other ethnic groups not only go to our schools. When they achieve a high status, they PRACTICE. They're not shunned.<BR/><BR/>And, I've read that there are arab doctors in Israel. They are not shunned, either. As a matter of fact, Arik Sharon wouldn't be a vegetable, today, if he had an arab doctor. Instead of a Jewish religious peddler of rat poison.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately? Arik listened. Too bad. From some of these experts, the best you can do is use your legs to run away.<BR/><BR/>What happens over time?<BR/><BR/>Since it's now clear the Israeli government can't do a thing to its own terrorists? And, their own terrorists are weilding Torah scrolls, no less? How did we get to such a state?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-39736524024596382822008-07-29T17:44:00.000+03:002008-07-29T17:44:00.000+03:00Just to put things in their proper perspective, le...Just to put things in their proper perspective, let's quote from the <A HREF="http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:QU6zcbOJ48YJ:www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite%3Fcid%3D1178708647969%26pagename%3DJPost%252FJPArticle%252FShowFull+%22palestinians+studying+in+israel%22&hl=es&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=ar" REL="nofollow">Jerusalem Post</A>:<BR/><BR/><I>"Since the beginning of the second intifada in September 2000, the IDF has prohibited students from the Gaza Strip from studying in the West Bank and Palestinian students from studying in Israel."</I><BR/><BR/>While it is commendable that there's a debate in Israel about allowing the people it occupies to study in its universities, the fact is that they haven't been allowed to do so since 2001; and, moreover, Israel is forbidding one-third of all Palestinians from studying in their own universities -- a behavior unique to "the most moral country in the world".<BR/><BR/>I don't know if the US allows Iranian students to study in Harvard. I do know it doesn't forbid someone from Mosul from studying in Baghdad.Ibrahim Ibn Yusufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839484683464457225noreply@blogger.com
