Do keep up with the times. If you`re in Israel you can watch the news on television if reading newspapers is a drag. When you say that the way we treat Gaza is no better than the Nazis and that the closure is because Hamas took over then I think you`re either a bit gaga or prejudiced or ignorant or just not a Jew living in Israel. Neither of these statements of yours is in the least bit true.

Rafiah was open enough for Egypt to transfer a batch of Hamasniks back into Gaza, so it`s open enough to send a few sick patients out. Granted that they won`t get as good treatment anywhere else, but if the military doesn`t guarantee our security then it is irresponsible to allow people into hospitals among the patients.

Do you remember the woman pregnant with her eighth child coming from Gaza for treatment in Israel who was caught concealing bomb material. Perhaps you feel that living in the mercaz is sufficient personal protection for you.

Incidentally I don`t remember reading your name on a message protesting against the missiles and mortar fire into Israel from Gaza.
