Personal Story of Medical Trust Across Cultures

My brother is working as the consul of Egypt in Gaza.

And what happened is he was 43 at that time.

He collapsed and had a stroke.

He had blood in his brain.

He was unconscious.

All the Egyptians around him said,

what do we do now?

Do we take him to Cairo hospital?

Or do we take him to Hadassah hospital in Israel?

Do we take him to our own hospital?

Or do we take him to the hospitals

of the apes and pigs and enemies of Allah?

Each and every person around my brother

said in the same time,

you want him to live?

Take him to Hadassah.

In time of crisis,

even Muslims know that they trust Jews.

They trust that they're going to do the right thing

because they know that they're men and women of God.

My brother went to Hadassah.

He was unconscious for three months.

My mom went there and his wife to see him.

My mom was calling me on the phone telling me,

I can't believe the Jewish people are so kind.

They are not the people that we're describing.

And I told her it's true.

And it's time to end this hateful propaganda.

But they can't because it's written in the Quran.

And my brother is alive today because of Hadassah.

He was supposed to die.

And they saved his life.

A lot of Arabs go to Israeli hospitals

and their lives are saved.

But there is not one thank you in the media and Arab.

Not one thank you.
