🇮🇱🧬 Israel Once Had the Second Highest Skin Cancer Rate in the World
In 2003, Israel was ranked 2nd in the world for having the highest skin cancer rate per capita.
Now they sit at 23rd in the world.
What did they do to fall so dramatically in the rankings?
1. The Israel Cancer Association (ICA) ran the “Smart in the Sun” program: This program warned Israelis about the dangers of sun exposure and the importance of protective measures such as sunscreen.
2. The ICA also runs an annual “Skin Cancer Prevention and Detection Awareness Week”: During this week, every Israeli is entitled to free skin cancer screenings through Israel’s national health system. This initiative increases early diagnosis rates.
3. Educational programs were introduced in schools: These programs teach students from a young age about the dangers of UV radiation. The curriculum teaches students to wear protective clothing, use sunscreen, and avoid sun exposure during peak hours (10 am - 4 pm).
4. Investments in medical research: Israel has made substantial investments in medical research, particularly in immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma.
5. Public health campaigns promoting regular skin checks: These campaigns have led to Israelis getting check-ups frequently. In 2019, it was reported that 92% of melanoma cases were diagnosed early, significantly improving treatment outcomes.
These measures collectively contributed to a significant decrease in skin cancer cases in Israel.
For context, here are the global rankings of other countries in the region based on their skin cancer rates per capita:
🇱🇧 Lebanon | 141st
🇸🇾 Syria | 140th
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia | 158th
🇪🇬 Egypt | 121st
🇮🇶 Iraq | 137th
🇾🇪 Yemen | 175th
As you can see, even after all of Israel’s efforts to combat the issue, they still rank far higher on the list than other countries in the region.
It’s odd right?
For a group claiming to be indigenous to the land, their skin sure seems like it isn’t adapted to the climate.
Hmmmm, makes you wonder…

Ministry of Health (MoH) responding
to Israeli Occupation's claims
regarding Rantisi Children's Hospital
▪️ The Israeli occupation's presentation about Rantisi Children's Hospital is a theatrical farce with no credible evidence worthy of response.
▪️ Labeling the presence of baby diapers (Pampers) in a children's hospital, with displaced people, as exceptional evidence is a mockery of people's intellect worldwide.
▪️ The body language of the Israeli military spokesperson discussing the hospital unmistakably confirms its staged nature, inviting those versed in body language to debunk it.
▪️ The mentioned underground space in the video, part of the hospital's design, serves as administration and storage, offering shelter to refugees fleeing airstrikes, necessitating the provision of sanitary facilities, a humane requirement in all hospitals accommodating evacuees.
▪️ The hospital evacuation occurred under tank barrels and occupation rifles; why were none of the alleged resistors or detainees arrested?
▪️ The claimed "tunnel" outside the hospital raises questions about its relevance to the hospital. Recalling the occupation's mention of a vent in Hamad Hospital as part of an alleged tunnel, later refuted by the hospital's designer, who clarified it was a fuel tank vent.
▪️ The occupation presented alleged weapons of unknown origin in an organized manner, reinforcing the notion of a staged act. It is implausible for presumed resistance members to handle weapons in such a manner during harsh war conditions.
▪️ The displayed schedule in the occupation's video is a routine work roster in the hospital, a standard administrative practice in all healthcare institutions.
▪️The occupation claims that the motorcycle resembles those used on October 7th. Is this evidence when we know there are thousands of similar motorcycles in Gaza?
▪️ Rantisi Hospital specializes in treating children with cancer, kidney, respiratory, and other diseases, lacking the capability for any surgical procedures, regardless of simplicity.
▪️If this is a justification for the occupation to bomb Rantisi Hospital, what is his rationale for bombing and disabling more than 25 hospitals in northern Gaza with no evidence supporting his claims?
▪️The enemy targeted Baptist hospital in Gaza, killing over 500 displaced and sick individuals. What is the justification for targeting a church hospital?
▪️For over two weeks, the enemy has besieged and fired upon the Jerusalem Hospital, affiliated with the Palestinian Red Crescent, the twin organization to the International Red Cross, resulting in the killing and injuring of numerous innocent displaced citizens.
▪️In recent days, the enemy has besieged and targeted the Wafa Rehabilitation Hospital without providing any reasons.
▪️We challenge the Israeli occupation to allow a neutral committee to visit all hospitals and verify their absence of any military or security activities. Why does it refuse?
▪️We know the enemy's main goal is to pressure the population and medical teams to leave North Gaza for the south, where death awaits them either through daily airstrikes or hunger and thirst.
▪️In conclusion, even if there were any security or military reasons as claimed, is it acceptable under international humanitarian law to destroy hospitals and burn them with patients, medical staff, and displaced individuals inside, based on the possibility of a security objective?

8 years ago, a wrong number texted me and we just played along. We met up to grab a drink and fell in love. After dating for 2 years, we moved in together. One day, I came home to a beautiful bouquet of flowers and him on the bed fucking my Pilates instructor. This isn't us.
