The Cystic Fibrosis Quiz Of The Week

Who can spot the odd one out from among these four children?

Well obviously, the little girl is the odd one out. She is an Israeli cystic fibrosis sufferer, whom we are encouraged to support through donations in an advertisement at Ha'aretz online. (See the ad in the right-hand column of this screen capture).

In contrast, the three little boys - Muhammad a-Shanti (aged two), Mustafa a-Shanti (16 months), and seven-month-old Muhammad Abu Amra - are Palestinian cystic fibrosis patients who are no longer receiving treatment for their life-threatening condition, due to the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Good timing by Ha'aretz to run that ad in support of Israeli children with CF the week after B'Tselem broke the news of the denial of medical care to Palestinian children with CF.

Very classy.
