re: #117 jaunte

I’ve been watching some YouTube videos of Mads Gilbert complaining about poor conditions and lack of equipment at Shifa Hospital. Note this from his Wiki bio:
“Gilbert has broad range international experiences, in particular from locations that merge medical and political issues. Actively involved with solidarity work concerning Palestinians since the 1970s, he has served as a doctor during numerous periods in Palestine and Lebanon. His efforts have been central to the efforts that have lead the city of Troms, since 2001 a twin town of Gaza, to claim to be the city that has sent more health workers to Palestine than any other the world.”
Gilbert simply passes on the impression that the Israelis are responsible for the lack of healthcare materials and skills in Gaza, failing to notice the:
-Priorities of the palestinian leadership
-Priorities of the palestinian arms smugglers
-Priorities of the ‘solidarity activists’
None of which include a concern for healthcare if it interferes with assisting the propaganda effort of a designated terrorist organization.
Gilbert chose to help make this staged video and many others which further the efforts of Hamas, which cement his role as that of a propagandist, rather than a healer.

I read somewhere (probably LGF link) that Hamas—the elected government of Gaza—has diverted pipes that were supposed to be used for sewers to make rockets.

I hope the sister city of Tromso hasn’t been sending sewer pipes to Gaza. If they have, then they are murderers too.
