Christian Zionists such as George W. Bush and Pat Robertson and the rest have no right to claim they value a "culture of life". While they claim that embryos in women should not be aborted, they have no problem causing Palestinian babies to die at Israeli checkpoints. It is clear that they are simply disposed to subjugate and humiliate women and cause suffering:
Lost Babies
The 36-page report said scores of Palestinian women have been forced to give birth at Israeli military checkpoints, set up everywhere in the occupied Palestinian lands.
It further added that many of them "have lost their babies because Israeli soldiers denied them passage".
Rula Ashtiya was forced to deliver on a dirt road by the Beir Furik checkpoint after Israeli soldiers refused her passage to Nablus hospital on August 26, 2003.
"I was lying on the ground in the dust and I crawled behind a concrete block by the checkpoint to have some privacy and gave birth there, in the dust, like an animal," she said holding back her tears.
"I held the baby in my arms and she moved a little but after a few minutes she died in my arms."
The Washington Post reported on Monday, November 29, that beatings, shootings, humiliation in front of children and wives and life-threatening delays are but a few examples of the appalling conditions at the sandbagged Israeli checkpoints.
