We the undersigned, are writing to you because we're deeply concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza Strip. Since the Israeli government declared Gaza Strip as "hostile entity",the siege and the embargo are causing a big health crisis in Gaza. The hospitals of Gaza is not able to treat its residents since Israel blocks delivery of essential medicines to Gaza Strip,and the Palestinian ministry of health refers patients to hospitals in countries such as Egypt and Israel. But Israel don't allow the Palestinian patients in urgent need of treatment to go outside of Gaza Strip. All the victims of this health crisis are innocent civiians,and many of them are children.In 14th November 2007, 6 months old Palestinian baby Sina al-Hajj died because Israel didn't allow her to cross Gaza border for geting treatment. We are urging you to allow Palestinian patients needing medical care to have treatment outside of Gaza Strip.
We signed the "END THE HEALTH CRISIS IN GAZA!" petition!

I am a Christian only because the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ chose me to be......................that is Grace I never deserved.
The Lord God Almighty recognizes His own, as those who acnowledge His Son , the Lord Jesus Christ.
Those who say they acnowledge the Father but not the Son, are by biblical definition an Apostate, Anti-Christ nation...............sad, ( but apart from Christians who live in Israel today), that is the present state of Israel.
The Western world where I live is deceived( largely by listening to deceived televangelists ) into thinking the present state of Israel and its people hold special favour in Gods eyes..........This is a lie, Gods Holy Word is very clear;
In Isaac your seed shall be called, that culmination in biblical prophecy brought about the greatest event of all times, God became flesh, in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ.
God is no respector of person, Jew and Gentile have one access to God....................The Lord Jesus Christ
Grace and peace upon all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

The thing that really hurts about this is not knowing what to do to help those poor people. I signed a petition, yeah, I"m sure that'll do a lot of good. ..."But the sea is wide, and I can't swim over, nor have I wings with which to fly"... Right now I am working on a free meal planner which can be copied ad infinitum and which will aid the fight against death from bad diet. What can I do to help out? I'm sure Israel is not pure evil but lately I've been starting to wonder about America/Britain/Israel. What's going on?

Democracy is about letting people decide their own future. Their electoral wishes should be respected and their ability to move freely in their own country should be sacrosanct. The UN should protect these rights in any democratic country and Palestine should not be subjected to the hypocritical treatment that is has had to endure for far too long.

Israeli government claims it freed Gaza but in fact, Israel still controls all major resources in the Gaza Strip and knowingly holds all remaining Gazans in what is in practice an open-air prison. Israel took the Jewish settlers out of the Gaza Strip only to protect them from the Israeli aggression which immediately followed the settlers' retreat - targeted killings (needless to say, without trials) and countless supersonic booms created by Israeli jets flying over the Strip simply to terrorize the whole Palestinian population in Gaza.
The simplest way to stop Palestinian attacks, if Israel wanted to stop them, would be for Israel to stop attacking and suppressing Palestinians. This would have been easiest when Palestinians accepted the truce, which they did more than once.
Israeli Jews who left Israel because of the opression of the Palestinians can help -
if they write to Israeli officials stating why they left and that they would be happy to go back to Israel when there will be a just peace with the Palestinians.

Please let all people in the Israel-Palestine lands get equal health care.
As a USA citizen, who knows much of USA funds are sent to Israel every year,it is shocking that they are letting people be treated less dignified than a dog in the states!
The Palestinians are people who had lands, as the Israel citizens are people who took much of this land, and all deserve access to medical care, food, fuels, and jobs. How predjudice and insensitive do these people need to be before something is done?
The wall and continued seizing of land is not bad enough? Now no access to health care...and the USA is doing what?
I respect all religions and cultures...However be it Christian, Jewish, or Moslems all extremists and extreme cruel measures hurt many for the joy of a few. The Israelis involved are no relation to any religion if their religion is bases on inhumaine measures to kill inocent peoples...Did not anyone learn anything from Germany and superior views of groups of humans who kill to maintain their view that they are the true brightest and best!

as a health care professional I am sickened by the effect of this on Palestinian people, especially those who are seriously ill and injured, are least able to defend themselves, and who would be no threat to anyone. The UN and UK politicians must put pressure on and intervene to stop this happening.

PLEASE, WE ALL BELONG to ONE human family, One universal Spirit connects us all to a sacred web of life, why do people keep treating each other so horribly? These people are innocent, and the poor children, they are the future. I thought years ago when Man landed on the moon and took that awesome picture of Planet Earth hanging among the stars, that people would realize we all belong, and we are one big planetary family. Please, humans are capable of so much good, we waste so much energy on evil doings. PEACE begins in the HEART of EACH and EVERY one of us, then we set the example for others to see then pass it along. We have the power to STOP the suffering, we are going down a road to nowhere, PLEASE pave a new road, one with a rainbow at the end of it..............

Denying access to medical care is a violation of international humanitarian law. Moreover, it is counterproductive to the cause of peace, which must be based on mutual respect and the dignity of all persons.

Hasn't Israel done enough to kill and loot the poor Palestinians of their rights on their own land? and now they are cutting the life lines too!
Where is the White House and their 'war' of liberation?
If any one had some sense they would see this hypocritical attitude of the White House and the USA Government

Allow the people access to the medical treatment they need. What if this was your son or daughter or your mother or father. You would want the care they would need. This is such a sin.

Zionist Israel will respect Palestinian Human Rights only when the ACTIVE POWER of the vast majority of the people of the world express our righteous indignation of their and the US's racist policies. Boycotting Israeli products and key US businesses that support this Israeli regime is key! I.e. part of Starbucks profits goes to propping up Israel. We really don't need to get our caffeine fix from Starbucks, do we?
