Why Does the World Health Organization Target Israel?
(Fox News) Mitchell Bard - The World Health Organization (WHO) has been spreading lies and hatred about Israel for years and has operated like a propaganda agency for the enemies of Israel - the only democracy in the Middle East. A year ago, WHO member countries voted 96 to 11 - with the U.S. in opposition - for an annual resolution blaming Israel for "health conditions in the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syria Golan." Out of 21 items on the WHO agenda, the only one focused on a specific country applied to Israel. This targeting of Israel has been going on since at least 2000. As UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer has noted, "Anyone who has ever walked into an Israeli hospital or clinic knows that they are providing world-class health care to thousands of Palestinian Arabs." During five years of the Syrian civil war until 2018, the Israel Defense Forces brought more than 4,900 Syrians - including 1,300 children - to Israeli hospitals for medical assistance. Even Palestinian leaders send their family members to Israeli hospitals. Moreover, Israel is doing a great deal to help the Palestinians contain the coronavirus outbreak.
