The good doctors of Dubai are not willing to use Israeli-made equipment:
A hospital in Dubai returned Dh200,000 worth of medical goods including physicians’ and patients’ uniforms, bed sheets, pillows and towels made in Israel, a source said.
The hospital source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for himself and the hospital involved, said: “While going through the goods to check the quality and quantity, hospital administrators were shocked to find tags reading ‘made in Israel’.
“We are not sure these items are healthy, safe, and usable by physicians and patients. Maybe they contain harmful or infectious materials. Patients come here to be healed of diseases and not to be harmed.”
The hospital immediately rejected the goods and sent a notice to the supplier telling them they cannot accept items made in Israel, the source explained.
And thus we inaugurate the “Jew Cooties” category. If you read about something that falls within this category, email me the link: meryl -at- yourish -dot- com.
The Arab boycott is still in effect, no matter what some may try to tell you. And there are those who are trying to reverse any progress made toward removing it:
Manama: Twenty-four societies and charity funds yesterday appealed to His Majesty King Hamad Bin Eisa Al Khalifa to reverse a government decision to lift Bahrain’s embargo on Israeli goods.
They also urged the business community to boycott goods made in Israel and not import them.
“We urge HM the King to annul the decision to legitimise trade with the Israeli enemy because commercial normalisation paves the way to political relations and allows the Zionists to penetrate our country under the auspices of the US.
You know, news likes this just makes me want to jump and yell “Boo!” at these people. But it’s a very serious threat to Israel’s existence, and always has been.
MY: Doesn’t anyone remember the Arab News article from August 22 when there was a todo about paper cups at the Saudi hospital?
JEDDAH, 22 August 2005 — Paper cups with Hebrew writing disturbed both employees and medical staff at King Khaled National Guard Hospital on Saturday. The catering subcontractor for the hospital coffee shops began using them on Saturday after their usual supply ran out.
“We were shocked and angry,†said an employee. “How can Israeli products be allowed and how did they enter this hospital?†he asked.
The Filipino employee who works in the Al-Musbah coffee shop asked: “Why is everybody mad about the cups?†He was told: “Because they are made in Israel!â€
According to hospital officials, the matter is being investigated and action will be taken.
I would love to know what “action” these nitwits took? Maybe they should stop drinking coffee. And make travel arrangements to go to Gahenna?
I still remember the polio vaccine that the Israeli’s found warehoused in Jerusalem in 1967. THe Jordanians had refused to use it before and during a polio epidemic because it was invented by a Jew.
There must be a lot of noseless people in the Arab world. Unfortunately, the big shots who create these policies do not have to suffer the consequences.
