Apparently it more important to keep the Israelis out, then obtain their knowledge on such a serious issue. This fits right in with the recent day of hatred towards Israel that Cleric Yusuf Al Qaradawi called for.

US Org. Hosts Cancer Meet, Israelis not Welcome by Maayana Miskin

(IsraelNN.com) A United States-based organization's conference on breast cancer awareness, to be hosted in Egypt, has been touted by international news networks as an example of “unprecedented cooperation” in the region. However, according to Channel 2 news, the celebration of unity may be premature, as Israeli doctors were told at the last minute that their invitations to participate had been rescinded.

Let me get this straight. A U.S. Organization host a conference and “No Jews are allowed”.

Are the Amish doctors invited? 'cause they cause a bunch of trouble too, you know!!

Even more irony: Susan G. Komen and her sister, Nancy, who founded the charity organiztion, are Jewish.

Liberal Jews.....don’t get them at all.

[Islaminaction]

Unfortunately yes.

[oldskuulconserv]

It’s because no one has cancer in Egypt

There are also no gays in Iran.

There is supposedly a press release coming out this afternoon. I asked them to email it to me and they said they would. I have no idea what it will contain.

[Islaminaction]

Please let us know.

Thanks.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure Pleased to Announce Egyptian Events to Welcome All Advocates, Including those from Israel

Statement by Nancy G. Brinker, Founder, Susan G. Komen for the Cure

“Breast cancer advocates from the United States and across the Middle East are meeting in Egypt from October 21-27 for breast cancer awareness events. There have been reports that some of the invited participants would not be allowed to attend these events. Susan G. Komen for the Cure has now received confirmation that all advocates, regardless of their country of origin, are invited to fully participate in events to bring breast cancer to the forefront of public discussion in the Middle East.

After we received the initial report on the situation, we launched a diplomatic effort to ensure they would be able to participate. I am pleased to report that our efforts led to confirmation that all advocates would be welcome to participate in the events.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure remains steadfast in our mission to save lives and end breast cancer forever.
