Israel receives Iranian youth for cancer treatment

There probably is.. They sacrifice the lives of JEws all the time to help people from enemy nations. That seems to be the way of Jews. We love to make our own people eat dirt, so we can come to the aid of foreigners, who in the end want to wipe us off the earth.

They think that it will make them seem like decent people, which they are. But I believe that this is an example of the mercy of fools. They may save this boy, but he will not thank them for it. He will turn around and act to destroy Israel, just like ALL the muslims.
The Rabbis tell us (rightly) "He who has mercy upon the cruel, will someday be cruel onto the mercifull."
It may sound harsh to say that they should not treat this boy, but it is common sense, which is something that is sadly lacking in Israel.

But do we know if this 16 year old and his parents are cruel people? We know that Iran, as a nation, as a whole are filled with cruel people from a cruel ideology...but can we rightly say this 16 year old boy with cancer and his parents are cruel people?
The Rabbis DO tell us rightly that if we had mercy upon the cruel that we would be cruel to the merciful....Perhaps...we aren't being merciful to anyone cruel specifically... Be careful on your judgement of this boy and his parents..

That's a good point, Dr. Dan and worth considering. I know that there are Iranians who are secular and hate what happened to their country in 1978. There are some (I suppose) that would like to see Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollas brought down. But I also suspect that there are few to nil Iranians who support Israel and the Jews. Maybe you're right and I shouldn't judge this boy or his family. Can we agree at least that IF it were established that this boy and his family were enemies of Israel, that Israeli doctors should not treat him? Would you agree with that? I'm very interested in your opinion as you are a doctor who took an oath. To me, the idea that everyone should receive medical care regardless of their opinions is absurd. I get the feeling that these Israeli doctors would treat anybody who needed it, even Ahmadinejad hypothetically. I just don't think it's right.
