JERUSALEM (VINnews) — When Nasser Abu Hmeid, a terrorist responsible for the murder of seven Israelis including Meir Kahane’s son Binyamin and his wife Talia, died in jail last week of cancer, Palestinian sources were quick to condemn Israel. The Palestinian officials from the PA claimed that Abu Hmeid was the victim of deliberate medical negligence and died due to an “official policy of killing sick security prisoners.”

However Israeli doctors have now revealed the extent of the treatment Abu Hmeid received for his condition, treatment funded by the Israeli taxpayer.
According to the “This Morning” program aired Thursday morning on the national Reshet Bet channel, Abu Hmeid’s cancer treatments cost over 150 thousand shekels. He was treated in Assaf Harofeh Hospital for around a year, not only with standard chemotherapy but also with the most expensive and advanced immunotherapy protocols that exist, according to Dr. Osnat Lev Tzion Korach, the hospital’s director, who spoke out for the first time on the issue.
Dr. Lev Tzion Korach insisted that both the hospital and prison doctors had provided the best possible care for the terrorist and stressed that prison doctors had been fully coordinated with hospital staff during the treatment.
Abu Hmeid, a founder of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade which was responsible for numerous terror attacks during the 2000-2004 Second Intifada, was sentenced to seven life sentences and another 50-year term. Defense Minister Benny Gantz ruled that Israel would not return Abu Hmeid’s body to the Palestinians, a move which led to angry demonstrations in Ramallah. Gantz was responding to a plea by families of Hmeid’s victims, including the family of Talia Kahane.
The Jewish Force party has pledged to submit a law enabling capital punishment for terrorists.
I remember Binyamin Kahana from when he was still a bachur. Very nice quiet person. When he would come home to visit his parents for Shabbos, he would come learn Friday night, upstairs in Yeshiva Torah Ohr in Mattesdorf right next to wear his parents lived. He was a big masmid and a serious learner. May his memory be a blessing.
Money should have been spent somewhere else He was a murder and terrorist no treatment
No worries. Allopathic medicine doesn’t work – except financially for the medical manufacturers and others involved with its application.
The Zionists are a banner example of, among many other terrible things, “Kol hamiracheim al haachzar sofo lihyos achzar al harachum”.
The Zionists do both in spades.
Lets hope the new right wing “ultra nationlist” anti LGBT govt puts on end to this nonsense and maybe even introduces the death penalty for these pigs. (Did I leave out any derogatory AP names re this govt?)
