A Palestinian man from Tubas in the northern West Bank died from a strain of swine flu on Tuesday, in the third death caused by the virus this year, the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Health said.

The ministry said in a statement that the 40-year-old man had been receiving treatment for the H1N1 virus in an Israeli hospital.

It added that H1N1 has killed three Palestinians from the West Bank in 2016 so far and hospitalized around 320 Palestinians.

Yup, the swine certainly flew.

You see, you needn’t be Jewish or Muslim royalty to get treatment in an Israeli hospital.

We truly suck at this ethnic cleansing thing of which we are accused.

  1. I am now more dismayed than heart-warmed by these stories. In all seriousness, not only does Israel suck at ethnic cleansing, they are also not doing themselves any favours. No one gives Israel any due appreciation or gratitude. It wouldn’t be possible to be MORE criticised. Not only that, but by constantly lavishing all this humanitarian and charitable help, instead of having Israel’s unique “Tikun Olam” values recognised, it makes Israel look more guilty, like they are making up for the Palestinian hardships, and by extension, like they are responsible for causing the hardships. And the Palestinians know this and constantly play this tune to the West. Have you no sense of self-preservation? At least learn to attach some strings to all this humanitarian goodness!
