A United States-based organization's conference on breast cancer awareness,
to be hosted in Egypt, has been touted by international news networks as an
example of “unprecedented cooperation” in the region. However, according to
Channel 2 news, the celebration of unity may be premature, as Israeli doctors were told at the last minute
that their invitations to participate had been rescinded. The conference will be held in Alexandria, Egypt this week, under the

organization. It is to include meetings between leading researchers from the
U.S. and several Mideast countries.

A United States-based organization's conference on breast cancer awareness,

U.S. and several Mideast countries.
Israeli doctors were invited to the event as well, and several had planned
to attend. However, on Sunday night, the doctors received brief notices telling
them that they were no longer invited to the conference, by order of Egyptian
Health Minister Hatem el-Gabali. The notices did not include an explanation of Gabali's decision. Despite
the cancellation of the Israeli presence at the event, Egyptian
officials continued to praise the event as an example of regional
cooperation. "The week's events are a demonstration of the cooperation
between countries, governments, civil society, advocates, survivors,
and the global community as a whole," Dr. Mohammed Shaalan of Egypt's Breast Cancer Foundation told Reuters on Monday. "It shows that breast cancer has no boundaries and reveals the beauty of the world's unity in its fight against breast cancer."

What
would Susan Komen say? We are to be sympathetic to a foundation that
wants to cure cancer but has no problem with Jewish genocide? Not one
dime to Komen.

Statement
from Nancy Goodman Brinker, Founder, Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Breast
cancer advocates from the United States and across the Middle East are meeting
in Egypt from October 21-27 for breast cancer awareness events. There have been
reports that some of the invited participants would not be allowed to attend
these events. Susan G. Komen for the Cure has now received confirmation that all
advocates, regardless of their country of origin, are invited to fully
participate in events to bring breast cancer to the forefront of public
discussion in the Middle East.

After we received the initial report on
the situation, we launched a diplomatic effort to ensure they would be able to
participate. I am pleased to report that our efforts led to confirmation that
all advocates would be welcome to participate in the events.

Susan G.
Komen for the Cure remains steadfast in our mission to save lives and end breast
cancer foreve
