A crime against humanity?

The press is full of touching stories of Iraqi children taken to Israel for badly needed medical treatment and surgery.

There is less notice of the story of Palestinian journalist Bassam al-Wahidi who faces blindness if he does not have surgery on his eyes. If this story from Al Ahram out of Egypt is true Mr. al-Wahidi is being denied access to a Palestinian hospital in Jerusalem because he has so far refused to become an Israeli informer.
