Israeli cancer treatment takes top prize at MIT

Israelis are responsible for many of the world's most important technological strides in the world of medicine, but could they actually cure cancer?

Lost my dad to cancer. I do wonder if those bds schmucks will show the courage of their convictions and refuse to allow Israelis to save their lives.
