Amid the violence and confrontation in southern Israel and Gaza, Israeli and Palestinian doctors work together to save a Palestinian baby's life.

For over ten years, Save a Child's Heart has been performing life-saving heart surgery on children from all over the world - not just the West Bank and Gaza, but from African countries, eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, even Vietnam and China. Its doctors have treated more than 2000 children.

So are saying Israel should only kill exactly the same number as people as have died in Israel.Should Israel wait for HAMAS to kill 2000 people before they defend themselves?

And don't all countries have the right to close their borders?

Because 8000 rockets were never fired, it's just another Zionist lie, one of literally countless.

@oldjoe5 Very simple. 1. G-d 2. B/c Israel makes sure that there are bomb shelters and the like for their citizens.. unlike the Palestinians who put their children in harms way.

@oldjoe5 Israel responded with massive airstrikes and artillery fire on targets in Lebanon that damaged Lebanese civilian infrastructure, including Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport (which Israel alleged that Hezbollah used to import weapons and supplies), an air and naval blockade, and a ground invasion of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah then launched more rockets into northern Israel and engaged the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in guerrilla warfare from hardened positions.

A history lesson for the completely ignorant (hopefully it's just that. I hate realizing I'm debating with some neo-nazi or something):::

"The conflict began when Hezbollah militants fired rockets at Israeli border towns as a diversion for an anti-tank missile attack on two armored Humvees patrolling the Israeli side of the border fence. Of the seven Israeli soldiers in the two jeeps, two were wounded, seven were killed, and two of the dead soldiers' bodies were taken to Lebanon.

@earlyAMbirds. How could 8,000 rockets be fired and only a handful of people be killed?

[earlyAMbirds]

@oldjoe5 and you are sick in your mind and soul to now go from "rockets" to "arrows". There are hundreds (used to be thousands) of school-age children who had to live under constant fear, constant rocket drills, constant alarms, in kibbutzim around Gaza. The biggest, and most targeted, city by Gaza - Rehovot - saw its population minimized nearly 90% in the past 5-8 years. THESE ARE CALLED USSR "KATYUSHA ROCKETS". ***KNOW YOUR FACTS*** BEFORE YOU MAKE A FOOL OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND YOURSELF ONLINE.

@oldjoe5 once again, the likes of you are misinformed. Israel never accused Hamas of shooting 8,000 rockets. That accusation was justifiably charged against Hezbollah in the 2006 conflict in the north, and that conflict DID cause a lot of damage to homes (the North is less densely populated, like New England here), and also damaged the city of Haifa.

Against Hamas the accusations run a number of TOTAL 2,000 rockets, before the Cast Lead operation - hence the original reason for Israel's advance.

Then I guess Israel is not apartheid or like Nazis... I hope this boy can grow up in a world of peace where he can have a career and a job and family and a long life. Unfortunately, children in Gaza are taught that death is better than life and they should be happy to sacrifice themselves in order to get rid of the Jews. Maybe this kid's generation can escape that defeatist logic.
