From an interview with Member of the Knesset, Dr. Arieh Eldad, in the New English Review:
Eldad:
I was instrumental in establishing the Israeli National Skin Bank, which
is the largest in the world. The National Skin Bank stores skin for every
day needs as well as for war time or mass casualty situations. This skin bank
is hosted at the Hadassah Ein Kerem University hospital in Jerusalem where
I was the chairman of plastic surgery.
This is how I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza, who
was hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheba after her family burned her.
Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are
suspected of having an affair. We supplied all the needed Homografts for
her treatment. She was successfully treated by my friend and colleague
Prof. Lior Rosenberg, and discharged to return to Gaza.
She was invited for regular follow up visits to the outpatient clinic in
Beersheba . One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide
belt. She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the
hospital where they saved her life. It seems that her family promised her that if
she did that, they would forgive her.
This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land
of Israel. It is not a territorial conflict. This is a civilizational conflict.
