Thousands of Palestinians attended the funeral of Mahmoud Abu Jheisha on Sunday, after the 20-year-old was shot dead by Israeli forces outside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron when he allegedly stabbed an Israeli soldier.
The funeral procession began at the Amari Mosque in Abu Jheisha's hometown of Idhna, west of Hebron, where family and friends paid their final respects, before he was taken to be buried in the town cemetery.
Participants reportedly chanted slogans condemning Israeli crimes and calling for an end to Israeli practices as part of the occupation.
Abu Jheisha was shot dead by Israeli forces after allegedly stabbing an Israeli soldier at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the southern West Bank city of Hebron.
Witnesses told Ma'an that he stabbed the soldiers a number of times before Israeli forces shot him dead.
The Israeli soldier, who was moved to a Jerusalem hospital, received stab wounds in his head and chest, and his condition was described as moderate.
"And you can't Do that! You just CAN'T!! You can criticize the Queen of England, the President of the United States, or anyone else; that is freedom of speech. But you CAN'T criticize Israel. You just can't! Because .... well ... you just CAN'T! What is WRONG with you people that you don't understand the unwritten rules!" -- Nodding Yahoo

I don't know about you, but I would not want to be treated by any doctor loyal to a foreign government. In the United States, 400,000 people die every year from "medical mistakes" making it the third largest killer, behind cancer and heart disease. I have to wonder if those "medical mistakes" are biased towards those people that criticize Israel!
UPDATE: I posted the last portion of my above comment to Russia Today and received this reply.
"Wonder no longer. They did it to me. A Jewish dentist in New Jersey left the tip of a file sticking through the root of a tooth because he didn't like what I said about Palestine. I only found out when the whole tooth was removed. "
