My People

i went to kingdom hospital today to visit some of the people who were injured in the israeli assault on gaza that are being treated there ... i went with my brother and we met there with one of my dad's friends who had arranged the visit along with some of the hospital staff ... we visited a total of six people ... three little boys ... one little girl ... and two young men from the resistance ... in every room is a family member ready to tell the patient's story ... like how he had been under the rubble for three days ... where he was hurt ... who in his family had died ... you want to hug them or do something to help ... but all you can do is stand there and listen and offer your kind words ... in general most of the patients were pretty hurt and could hardly move ... they are conscious but very weak ... even their voices were faint ... except for the last guy ... one of the young men ... luay was his name ... he had lost both of his legs and had been unconscious for seven days ... one of the doctors told us that he was on a ventilator when they brought him over ... but he was awake now ... and smiling and talking and such high spirits ...

Man, proud of you that you put the effort to visit the patients, this is the least they want from us, God Bless you. But I hope that 6 is not the number of Palestinian Patients that KSA are currenlty treating! Especialy that Al Arabiya channel only patriotisim scene on TV the past 1 month was only to show 1 patients being treated in KSA hospotal! If you know what I mean. Anyways, my sister and neice were visiting Palestinian patients in Cairo and she told me horrible stories, but she was amazed how those injuried whom some have lost their arms and legs have high spirits, still smiling. But the general opinion was that both Hamas and Fatah suck! Im still waiting for more stories on that topic.

Thanks

i think the total is 60 but there were only 6 at that hospital .. well nobody said anything bad about hamas .. or fateh for that matter .. not that it came up either ..

but ya like u said this is the least we can do .. the problem they are such simple people and they consider it such a huge favor that the arab countries are doing this for them .. its very sad ..

I think the patients in Cairo made it a point about Hamas and Fatah. Anyways they deserve all our attention.
