Give lots of shots to our neighbors

Nadav Tamir begins “Vaccinate our Palestinian neighbors” (March 11) on an unusually high note for him. He talks about Israel leading the world with our vaccination rate, and thanking the “wonderful health-care system.”

That was the end of his graciousness towards our COVID and vaccination successes.

Tamir seems to believe that we are the protectors and caregivers of Ramallah and their corrupt leaders. Ramallah was granted a non-member status in the UN and the ICC granted them membership, and therefore they should be working on their infrastructure and monies to be made available for its people’s well-being.

Instead they pay out millions of shekels/dollars, some as begged donations from wealthy Arab nations, to pay for their killer prisoners in Israeli jails. That Tamir feels we have a “moral responsibility to their health,” is mind-boggling. He is unable to see the hypocrisy through the trees.

He talks about us being a “role model for the strategic use of vaccine diplomacy.” What is he trying to say? We’ve vaccinated our people and offered vaccines to other nations, with payments made to us.

What gives Ramallah the right to be beggars? Use your donated millions to vaccinate your own people!

Tamir and his Left leaning cohorts should stop helping the Palestinians to continue fooling the world. The Palestinians are the masters of their own failed fate. DEBRA FORMAN

Nadav Tamir demands that we vaccinate our Palestinian neighbors in Gaza and the West Bank based on ethical, moral, political, social, medical, diplomatic and any other grounds that he can think of on the spur of the moment.

But one can only wonder on what grounds Tamir he does not call on Israel to also vaccinate the ten million or so Palestinian so-called refugees in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Yemen. Even Iran has some “Palestinian refugees” who may need to be vaccinated.

Tellingly, Tamir demands nothing of the Palestinians.

No request to stop funding terrorism, to recognize Israel’s right to exist, to stop vilifying at every media opportunity and in world bodies, etc.

Nice guys don’t always just finish last; sometimes they disappear.
