In 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.
