Palestinian psychiatrist praises Israel

The Gaza Breakdown -Mark Matthews

Psychiatrist Eyad el-Sarraj [pictured above], director of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program, speaks with admiration approaching awe of Israelis' kindness during his bone marrow treatment two years ago at Sheba Medical Center outside Tel Aviv. Other Palestinians there got similar attention, he says, adding, "This is something I will never forget."

El-Sarraj compares how he was treated in an Israeli hospital with the "viciousness" displayed in Gaza during factional fighting a year ago. In the heat of battle, wounded fighters were pursued inside hospitals and killed, he said.
