Spy Or Die - Israel/Palestine

June 2009

With Gaza devoid of medical care, the critically ill must travel to Israel. There they are asked to comply with Israeli intelligence before treatment. Become a hated informer? Or refuse and wait to die?
With Gaza blockaded, only a fortunate few are able to get through Erez crossing, the only passenger crossing that remains between Gaza and Israel. It took 6 months to secure a permit for my daughter says Majed, whose daughter needs an urgent operation. Even after securing a permit the struggle isnt over. Once in Israel, desperate and weak patients like 27 year old Khitam are often subjected to rigorous cross-examination. When I finally went in I was interrogated for 2 hours Khitam says, they asked me about the resistance, gave me a pen and paper and asked for names. Since the war, Israeli intelligence has used Palestinian informers to target militant leaders, especially those involved in Hamas. When Khitam told the intelligence that she didnt know anything, that shed spent the last 9 months lying in a hospital bed, they accused her of being involved in Hamas and sent her back to Gaza. I will die, thats it. Theres nothing else I can do she says frankly. Khitam has no choice, but with the threat of Palestinian wrath hanging over becoming an informer, more and more Palestinians are opting to die.

I don't know what you guys are arguing about being a palestinian or israelis. Palestinians are still human beings, and they really do deserve the medical help just like anyone of us. Forget about all the trash politics of being a zion or hamas, etc. Instead we should think about how can we help these people to live a better life; these people are innocent and they don't deserve to be put in this kind of spot. So think how can we help them, instead of arguing about political crap.

The only reason they don't have medical care is because Hamas has no regard for human lives and also spends all their aid money on weapons to terrorize Israel. Israel is nice enough to let some Arabs in to Israel and pay for their treatment. This video is propaganda making it look like israels fault when It has nothing to do with it. Also, an Arab From gaza after recieving a month of treatment in an Israeli hospital , saving her life tried blowing herself up in the hospital, murdering the doct

@MrPropagandaSucks They were also nice enough to bomb more than half the hospitals in Gaza.

The Jews and Palestinians used to live fine side by side. Once ideological and political tensions start rolling it creates a hell on earth people have a live in, despite whether or not they even take a position on it. Once people start shooting at you, you're pretty much forced to shoot back, whether or not you even agree with the pretenses the shooting started on. At some point, its just about survival.

@kolkrabe19 You are a pathetic disgusting excuse for a human being . HOW DARE YOU DENY THE HOLOCAUST!? I am not going to even explain to you why you should go kill yourself, but please do. You are a repulsive monster to even suggest all those people weren't tortured and murdered in their millions. I have no good words for you. You are a disgrace, you should burn in hell with Hitler and his Nazis.

Thank you for posting this video.

The zionists continue to disregard human life and terrorize their brothers and sisters. God will punish them accordingly unless they repent. Even if this girl was involved give her care without interrogation.
