Palestinians from Gaza bribed local doctors to declare that they were seriously ill and required treatment in Israel, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) charged on Monday.
"Recently there has been an increase in the exploitation of Israel's humanitarian policy by way of fraudulent medical permits in return for bribes to doctors in the Gaza Strip," a Shin Bet spokesman told The Jerusalem Post. "This, plus the requests of terrorist activists to enter Israel for medical treatment, increases the danger to state security."
The statement came in response to the latest allegations by Physicians for Human Rights, which charged that since the beginning of April, the Shin Bet has been preventing 12 new cancer patients from receiving life-saving treatment in Israel. In addition to these 12, the Shin Bet had for several weeks been preventing dozens more, including cancer and heart patients, from passing through Israel on their way to treatment in Jordan and Egypt.
PHR charged that the Shin Bet response to requests for entry permits to Israel is complicated and takes a long time, and thereby ignores the urgency of the situation. The slow processing by the Shin Bet follows an already protracted process in the Palestinian committee that approves the requests and in the IDF Liaison Office, before the matter comes to the Shin Bet.
PHR also charged that the shuttling of patients who are barred from entering Israel directly to Egypt and Jordan did not work properly. They said the shuttle operated on an average of once every five weeks, that buses could not accommodate all the patients, so some were forced to wait, that many of the shuttles were canceled and that patients did not know when the next shuttle would be running.
"The Shin Bet and the army portray the shuttle service as a genuine solution for the distress of many patients, including cancer patients, and as a worthy alternative to their demands to enter Israel for treatment," wrote PHR. "In this way, a flawed and unsuccessful procedure becomes a fig leaf for the continuation of the Shin Bet's harmful policy towards the sick population of Gaza and as a tool for the state to portray its alleged 'humanitarian' policy towards them."
In its response to these charges, the Shin Bet added that the question of allowing sick Palestinians from the Gaza Strip into Israel cut across many authorities and was not the sole responsibility of the agency.
The spokesman said that in all 12 cases, the agency had given its replies to the requests long ago, and therefore could not be held responsible for any delays that followed.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Since Israel finished the wall (where’s ours?)it has been hard for young virgin hunters to blow up busloads of women and children.
This is a PR crisis for the Rag Bomb leaders.The more Jews they murder in a spectacular way,the more the leftist media and politicians hate the Jews and then demand Israel DO something about the “cycle of violence.”

WWII Germany could have held out a lot longer if the extermination of the Jews did not have top priority—Eichman having the authority to seize vital resources,even from battlefields,to achieve this end.
If Germany during WWII had treated the Jews... and those living in the East (Poland, Ukraine, Romania, etc) as human beings...
They probably would have won the war. German Jews would have fought for their Fatherland, like they did in WWI. And all the Ukrainians and Russians, freed from the yoke of Soviet tyranny... would have supported the Germans (and possibly enlisted too). Which would have freed up the entire force structure bound up in the death camps to fight... and freed up all the troops that were tied down ‘occupying’ the resentful populations.
That, and with Britain faced with either fighting with the Soviet Union... or seeing the end of communism by simply staying out of the conflict... well, that’d be d@mn hard to sell to their homefront.
And without Britain in the war, the US wouldn’t have cared one way or the other.
But all that would have required that there had been an aggressive German politician that wasn’t a nutcase named Adolph.

Even doctors in Gaza go through many years of education. It took Barak Hussein Obama's arrival on the political scene to allow Barak and Michelle to pay off their student loans.
Loans I didn't have, by choice (working rather than hope), just as they had them, by choice.
No reason to criticize the Doctors of Gaza for making a dollar or two.
Stange,isn’t it?
The Nazi atrocities actually helping to win the war for the Allies.Macabre irony indeed.
Much like the aggresive defense of Okinawa convincing the US to nuke Japan as a way of saving tens of thousands of Americans and perhaps tens of millions of Japanese.
One could almost call Okinawa a Japanese victory—especially when one looks at the success of post-war Japan after the reconstruction of American occupation.
The plot of “The Mouse That Roared” certainly had historical reasoning.
And you are correct,without Britain or, more importantly,Churchill,in the War,we would have only gone after Japan.
Not to mention the German Jewish expatriate physicists who enabled us to win the race for the A-bomb. Imagine if Einstein et al. had stayed in Germany...
“WWII Germany could have held out a lot longer if the extermination of the Jews did not have top priority—Eichman having the authority to seize vital resources,even from battlefields,to achieve this end.”
I was told by my Rabbi many years ago that the way to destroy the Jewish people is to leave them alone. They will eventually marry out of their religion, their children will no longer make bar mitzvah and eventually the religion will go away.
By hurting the Jews, their resolve to survive becomes stronger.
