Coronavirus in Gaza: Exposing the Lie that Israel is to Blame
For example the Scottish
anti-Israel activist and Labour member Karen Bett has posted
this on her Facebook page:
Appallingly the BBC
gave legs to the lie. On Radio 4’s Ten O’Clock PM News on 25 March the
presenter Razia Iqbal said of Gaza “A decade long blockade has
devastated the health service”.
It’s a straight lie. COGAT confirms
that there are
NO restrictions on medicines and surgical equipment coming into
Gaza.
In fact look at this
report (May 2018) …………… Hamas has refused to accept shipments
of medical supplies for Gaza hospitals after seeing they were sent by Israel!

Palestinian Leaders Use Coronavirus to Attack Israel
by Khaled Abu Toameh
• On March 18, Israel delivered hundreds of kits for
detecting the coronavirus into the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, together with
equipment for medical protection. This is the same Gaza Strip from which Hamas
and other Palestinian terror groups have been firing thousands of rockets at
Israel for the past few years, and launching party-balloons carrying hidden
bombs as recently as last week. In February alone, more than 40 rockets were
launched into Israel from the Gaza Strip.
§ The Palestinian leaders, who are
pursuing their efforts to prosecute Israelis for "war crimes," have
been concealing from their own people and the international community the fact
that Israel is assisting them in the war on the coronavirus.
§ For Palestinian leaders, it seems
that the war on Israel is more important than the battle against a pandemic and
saving the lives of their own people. Yet, these leaders and their families, if
they are diagnosed with the disease, will undoubtedly be the first to rush to
Israel to seek medical treatment there.
We Can Kill the Coronavirus:’ Israeli Startup Says
With the novel Coronavirus
(Covid-19) spreading globally and the world longing for medical solutions to
the pandemic, all eyes are on labs in Europe, China, the US, and Israel,
currently in the process of developing vaccines for Covid-19.
One medical innovation that
may not be able to single-handedly end the pandemic but is expected to succeed
in slowing the virus’ spread, is protective clothing, most notably masks,
manufactured by Israeli medical company Sonovia.
Sonovia specializes in using
anti-microbial textiles to prevent patients and employees at hospitals from
contracting diseases. Dr. Jason Migdal, a researcher with Sonovia, told TPS
that there were “dramatic reductions in hospital infections when our products
were used.”
“Cutting-edge nano-coating
technology” originally developed at Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan allows the
company to use sound waves to place chemicals and materials such as copper into
textiles, thus ensuring long-term protection against bacteria.
Dr. Migdal says he and his
team are “leading the revolution in this field,” with the materials produced by
Sonovia “stronger than antibiotics and even working against bacteria resistant
to antibiotics.”
As the number of Covid-19
cases grew, research showed that certain materials, including the copper
nano-particles used in Sonovia’s materials, were able to kill off the virus.
With the crisis reaching
Israel, the company decided to import all of its raw materials from Germany and
have them made into protective masks in a factory in Jerusalem. “We have
donated 98% of our masks, and merely kept a few for strategic purposes.
We will
deliver more, as soon as we scale up our production,” Dr. Migdal told TPS.
With 120,000 masks already
donated to be distributed among medical workers and employees in critical
infrastructure, Sonovia is proud of its achievements. “The heart of our business
is truly Israeli. We originated here and are now utilizing out technology for
the public good,” Migdal stated.
Migdal would not state whether
his company could spell the end to the Coronavirus outbreak. And yet, he is
optimistic: “We can say very positively, though, we know that we can kill any
bacteria, and kill viruses. Specifically the novel Coronavirus.”

Breakthrough in Development of COVID-19 Vaccine?
After
4 years of research funded by Israel’s Ministry of Science & Technology,
MIGAL’s researchers have developed an effective vaccine against avian
coronavirus Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV), to be adapted soon and create a
human vaccine against COVID-19
Israel’s Minister of Science and Technology, Mr. Ofir Akunis, commented: “Congratulations to MIGAL on this exciting breakthrough. I am confident that there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat.” Minister Akunis has instructed the Director General of the Ministry of Science and Technology to fast-track all approval processes with the goal of bringing the human vaccine to market as quickly as possible.
MIGAL has achieved a scientific
breakthrough that will lead to the rapid creation of a vaccine against
Coronavirus. This possibility was identified as a by-product of MIGAL’s
development of a vaccine against IBV (Infectious Bronchitis Virus), a disease
affecting poultry, whose effectiveness has been proven in pre-clinical trials
carried out at the Volcani Institute. MIGAL has now made required genetic
adjustments to adapt the vaccine to COVID-19, the human strain of coronavirus,
and is working to achieve the safety approvals that will enable in-vivo testing,
enable the initiation of production of a vaccine to counter the Coronavirus
epidemic currently spreading throughout the world, which so far has claimed
2,666 lives.
From research conducted at MIGAL,
it has been found that the poultry coronavirus has high genetic similarity to
the human COVID-19, and that it uses the same infection mechanism, a fact that
increases the likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine in a very
short period of time.

Syrian Journalist Says"Learn From Israel"
A Syrian journalist on the
Al-Jazeera network told Arab viewers to stop believing preposterous
conspiracies about Israel and insteadlearn from the Jewish people’s example.

Did the Arabs oppose the creation of a Jewish State at San Remo? NO!
Before the San Remo conference there did not exist a single Arab independent nation state. Not one. All 22 Arab states that exist today (as part of the Arab League) became nation states either as a direct result of the San Remo conference, or much later. Therefore, the legitimacy of Israel as a Jewish state is exactly equal to or greater than the legitimacy of any of the Arab nation states.
TRUTH BE TOLD
Here is one brave Arabs who defend Israel, tell the truth and
confront the lies and the terror of their Arab brethren.
Ex-Terrorist Shocks Israeli Teenagers with the Truth About the
Two-State Solution
By Avi Abelow -
February 19, 2020 in Israel
Unwired
This Arab Muslim lecturer once was a terrorist who tried to kill
Israelis and IDF soldiers. He feels he was blessed because he was stopped
before he blew himself up as a suicide bomber and instead arrested and jailed
in Israel. This saved his life!
Jail time was good for him, since he concluded that he did not want
to sacrifice his life for a cause that didn’t care about him, so he stopped
being a terrorist and was then tortured by the Palestinian Authority secret
services who thought that he was a traitor.
Subsequently, he escaped to Israel and today lives as an Israeli
citizen in the Israeli city of Haifa.
He now dedicates his life to trying to stop Arab Muslims from
wanting to kill Jews. He also lectures to Jewish audiences trying to
convince them that the left which supports the two-state solution is the problem,
not the solution.
The
video here is from a lecture to High School students where he was
explaining that voting for the leftwing parties that support a two-state
solution is bad, and hence they must only vote for the right-wing parties that
are against the two-state solution. It would be a disaster to establish a
country for people with a culture of murder and bloodshed, (who) educate them
(their people) for generations that Jews should become food for fish.
Under no circumstances is a Palestinian state (to be)
established.
