My
wife's medical practice in the States entailed more than just a few patients
who have certain forms of cancer, and so, her face was not unfamiliar in the Oncological
areas of the hospital where she practiced.
She is soon slated to begin her new job here in Israel (she has already
gone in unofficially for some paperwork and for some seminar training sessions),
and will likely have at least some patients with cancer issues.
Between
the stories my wife tells me, and firsthand observation of more than a few
friends and relatives, I appreciate cancer for the horrible affliction it
is. Accordingly, I do not wish cancer on
anyone.
And
so, I shall not celebrate, jubilate, or gloat over ex-President Jimmy Carter's announcement
that he now is battling cancer. I only
ask that he stay true to his principles by seeking treatments for his malady from
his friends the Arabs, and by boycotting any cancer treatments or medications that
were developed in Israel, the country he unabashedly despises and whose eradication he still actively
pursues even in his retirement from the Oval Office.
