A propos :

I'm a Psychiatrist born in April 1944, in Beer Sheva-Palestine, and was forced to move to live in Gaza-Palestine, in 1948.I received my Medical degree in Alexandria-Egypt, and my degree in Psychiatry in London-UK. I'm a human rights and peace activist, founder and Chairman of the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme, and Secretary General of the Palestinian Independent Commission for Citizen's Rights. I'm a Member of many local and international health and human rights organizations. My activity in human rights has caused me hardships by both Israeli and Palestinian Authorities. In 1996 I was arrested and tortured for condemning torture and violation of human rights by Palestinian Authorities. Winner of the Physicians for Human Rights Award in 1997 and the Martin Ennals Award for human rights defenders in 1998. I publish extensively on issues of peace, civil society, human rights and psycho-politics.

Israel's 'brutality' of self-defense-- after unprovoked attack

Our dear doctor, for whom I pray in your noble endeavor:

Whose brutality was it that tortured you in 1996? As a very empathetic person and a graduate student of psychology myself, I sincerely pray that this experience was not too harrowing, and that it left no lasting emotional scars. I simply wish you to think and reason with fairness, clarity, and correctly-directed empathy.

Blessings and peace to you.

Middle East Problems

Sir,
in this new round of fighting between Israel and the Palestinian people, I abhor the violence on both sides, the grief that must be felt by those loved ones must be unimaginable. The remedy, albeit long term, would be for Palestinians to endeavour to become Israeli citizens, as I believe they can,and incorporate their land, Gaza and West Bank into the state of Israel. In due time with their superior or at least substantial voting numbers, they will control or heavily influence the Knesset, after all Israel is a democracy. Peaceful control from within is far superior to being endlessly at loggerheads with mindless violence. A truly peaceful and prosperous middle east country can then be achieved, although it might not be totally Israeli or Palestinian, but the best of both peoples.
Maybe wishful thinking, but just my thoughts, thank you, feel free to respond.

Dispatch: Gaza (Jan. 4, 2009 The Washington Post)

Dr. El-Sabraj,

Having just read your article on the plight of Palestinian children during these horrific days of fighting in Gaza I am amazed at your inability to see that Hamas is your problem, not Israel!

"Israel's brutality guarantees that it's people will not be secure", is the one statement that made me see red. What about Hamas' brutality? What about the rockets fired into civilians day after day? What about the desire to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP?

Instead of furthering the anti-semetic rhetoric of other so-called
Human Rights envoys such as Richard Falk and Jimmy Carter (A DISGRACE TO
ALL AMERICANS) stand up and call on Hamas to stop!

Does Hamas notify the innocent civilians to leave the scene before they set off their suicide bombs inside Israel? Do they warn busloads of women and children before they blow them up? No, but the uncaring Israelis do try to warn civilians!

I'm sure I'm wasting my time with this email, but I'm doing it anyway.
Until you and other intelligent and educated adults find a way to stop Hamas
the fighting will go on. You say you were forced to move to Gaza in 1948.
I wonder who forced you? Other Muslim leaders? Immams? You were 4 years old then, so was I. Someone made that choice for you, and I doubt it was the newly formed State of Israel. Which, in case you've never learned your own history, was then attacked from all sides by every Arab nation surrounding her. [deleted]

Stop the brutality, STOP HAMAS!

questions sur soins hospitaliers

lequel des deux est fou?

pourriez vous m'expliquer comment se fait-il qu'aujourd'hui au plus fort de la guerre en palestiniens et israeliens, des blesses palestiniens se font soigner de leurs blessures infligees par leurs ennemis dans des hopitaux israeliens, et qu'ils n'ont pas peur d'etre soignes par leurs ennemis?

Alors qu'un israelien n'aurait pas le temps de demander a des ambulanciers palestiniens de le sauver, qu'il serait deja linche par les medecins et les civils?

Soins hospitaliers

Vous avez raison en ce qui concerne ce qui arriverait à un israélien dans le même cas.
Mais la réponse mon cher c'est qu' Israël est une démocratie et que de l'autre coté c'est une dictature appliquant des méthodes de barbares.
Comment peut-on encore en 2009 appliquer des principes religieux pour gouverner.
Chez nous la séparation de l'église et de l'état date seulement d'hier.
Donc il faut attendre que ces peuples veuillent bien s'émanciper, à moins qu'on ait un jour un message de Mahomet qui dise qu'il n'y a plus de vierges au paradis.
Je pense qu'on a pas fini de se poser des questions mais que tout ça va bien finir par prendre fin. Il y a toujours une certaine inertie avant que les gens pris par leurs soucis quotidiens commencent à se rendre compte qu'il faut s'intéresser à la politique et surtout la faire changer.
