Who would burn down an Israeli hospital? One guess...

Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus recently purchased and are installing 4 high-powered water cannons at the cost of hundred of thousands of shekels to deal with the ongoing arson threat by their Arab neighbors in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya.

The hospital, which treats any sick or wounded person, regardless of race, religion or nationality has been repeatedly attacked.

Arabs, from the nearby Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya have repeatedly tried to burn down the hospital buildings over the past few years, they've even injured staff members with tear gas they threw into the hospital compound. Furthermore, the hospital is afraid that the Arabs, once they declare a State, will riot and try even harder to reach and destroy the hospital.

Hadassah's concern is not unfounded. There is a long history of Arab terrorism against Hadassah hospital and it's staff.

This past week, the hospital conducted a drill where the hospital gates were closed and protected against an Arab mob attack.

These 4 water cannons are installed in locations that will maximize their ability to extinguish any hospital buildings the Arabs set on fire.

Golda Meir once said, "There will only be peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us."

Unfortunately, the Arabs would apparently prefer that their children be unable to receive world class medical care, so as not to see the evil flag of the Jewish state waving nearby.

LifePatch; Racking up the Lies

The Marker reports:

Yet another lie was revealed, attributed to the Safe Sky "LifePatch" company. Yesterday, the company's founders announced to the media that they will soon be starting clinical trials with their revolutionary "Heart Attack Detection" patch at the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, and that Hadassah Hospital's General Manager, Professor Shlomo Mor Yosef has given the green light for the hospital to start a pilot with 100 of the patches.

However, Hadassah Hospital today outright rejected the story, "No one approached Professor Mor Yosef, and he did not approve any pilot", stated Ron Kromer, the manager of media communications and press interaction at Hadassah. Kromer told "The Marker", "Professor Mor Yosef doesn't even have the authority by himself to approve a clinical trial. Clinical trials are only approved after a long process of receiving approvals, providing scientific documentation, and of course, certification from the Helsinki Committee (which authorizes clinical trials on humans.)

Additionally the MSI company, which is allegedly buying 20% of SafeSky claims they have never heard of SafeSky, and they have zero intention of buying it.

Globes:

There is no evidence of SafeSky's claim that Life Keeper has FDA approval.

SafeSky was only registered as a company two weeks ago.

MSI finance department customer relations manager Jhih-Jhuang Chang told "Globes" today, "I have never heard of this company. We are considering what steps to take. The matter is being handled by our legal department.

Haaretz:

The Taiwanese company, Micro-Star International, which is supposedly paying $370 million for 37% of the Life Keeper heart monitor patch, said it knows nothing of any such deal. Its representatives never came to Israel to discuss such an agreement. The senior management of SafeSky, the Israeli firm, also never met with the Taiwanese firm, and all the contacts were conducted only via fax and e-mail.

Riiiiight. A $370 million dollar deal is conducted only through email and fax?
