    While the Health Ministry bans such moves, the report said the calls for separation in the obstetrics and gynecology department come at the request of the maternity patients, to which the hospitals then comply. 

    The Israel Radio report listed the medical centers where the issue occurs as: Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem’s Ein Kerem and on the capital’s Mount Scopus, along with Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba. 

    The report added that all of the hospitals denied any such division among patients. 

    However, some of the medical centers noted that if the patient makes such a request, it is taken into consideration as are other appeals. 

    Israel Radio stated that among the hospitals surveyed for the report, only Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba and Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center said that distinction between patients in labor is not possible. 

    The report cited the Health Ministry as underlining that it prohibits the division of patients in order to prevent discrimination. According to the ministry’s guidelines, there can be no separation between populations on the basis of religion, country of origin, ethnicity or any other distinction.

    The Zionists in their anti-Jewish morals and compassion, allow for the enemy to breed under the best health care circumstances, this is like Shaul allowing the Aggatite to live so his einekel Haman tried to kill Jews.

    Why would the patients request this?

    Stupid liberal minstry. So a patient who is bed bound and can’t run anyhwere should just lie like cattle ready to be slaughtered by the family members of her peaceful arab roommate. Where is their brains? As Micahel Salvage often says Liberalism is a mental disorder.

    I would request it on every ward. While in Israel for a visit a family member needed urgent medical care. While said member was undergoing surgery their phones were stolen but the hospital refused to check the bags of the Arab woman just leaving. ……
