This Palestinian family is wonderful... - exceptional human beings. I do hope Mr. Khatib takes up Dr. Sharon's invitation: we need all the bridge-building we can get. Thank you again. :'-)

This boy is still alive in the hearts of the six saved israeli children and their families and friends...I hope that his memory will bring all of us Closer and will make peace a Reality! Only together we Can break the ice!!this family shows us that Humanity is above everything else! Before being israelis and palestinians in conflict, we ARE HUMAN BEINGS! I hope that this side of ours will get stronger and will shine above this land! This land that is Looking for a Heart! We all should be the Beating heart of this land! ONLY TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE THINGS BETTER!

I can only echo your sentiments M Steiner

Listen to what the family has to say, the family lives in Jenin, a town filled with terrorists. This family's courage during a time of grieve is exceptional. Please, Arik, ask the family what can be offered for peace that the Palestinian people will drop their arms and embrace us. There is no reason why too neighbors should fight. This family obviously wants peace (as seen by their donation) and Arik is ready to make concessions for peace (as seen by the disengagement). Please, listen to one another. Arik, you know what Israel is able to give for peace. Now, listen to the peaceful people of Palestine, not the terrorists nor the government, for they only want to live in peace, just like Israelis. Let them tell you want they want, in terms of land, refugees, Jerusalem, etc. to see if peace is truly a viable option. If it is, let's work together, people to people, and finally bring peace to the people of Israel.

May God welcome your son's soul to heaven. I am sorry for your loss and thank you for your act of kindness.

This is wonderful. Lives are lives no matter what??? All respect to khatib family and wish quick recovery to our israeli friends. This is humanity at its best form. I know that Palestinians and Israelis can live tohether if we can sort out our dirty politicians on both sides.

Ali! Join me! Contact me by email ! WE CAN multiply our calls for a Moderate acceptable peace!

To the Family, We can only say "May the Lord Bless You and Keep You"! I cannot begin to feel your pain but you make me realize that there is hope for the future and that Palestinians are also vicims of this madness. We must find a way to save the chilren of Abraham and Ishmael! And we on both sides must pour our hearts out to the family. I want Israel to embrace this family as the family embraced us.

I recognize this boy's parents as true Muslims. May all the people of the world honor them and learn from their example.

stop shooting at our kids apology is not accepted we ahave been there befor with your mistakes under (we were just returning the fire ,oops ) you never learn it is a universal language .....an eye for an eye .

MR Sharon in the last 4 years destroyed all the palestinians infrastructure . our dialysis patients died on road blocks on their ways to hospitals . a lot of our ladies are delivering at roadblocks as well . a gentelman died because he had no insulin and he couldn't get to the hospital . the hero of Sabra and shatila is trying to put a human mask. he is a criminal and the invitation should be rejected . we do not shake hands with this kind of people ,sorry .

And may Allah punish those who murdered his tender soul. Good job on the part of his Ahmed's parents, now we know that 6 future Israeli Occupation Army soliders won't have so much hatred for us that they carry some of our organs in them which in turn will show them that at the end we're all alike, humans and sons and daughters of Adam and Eve who deserve to live in occupation-free dignity .

Where do they breed them?

This is one person that I can say truly understands peace. Kol hakavod to you Ramzi, keep up the good work and dont forget that lunch appointment!! ;-)

Deepest respect for this family, chosing for life when a piece of their heart just died. May God bless litlle Ahmed's soul and have mercy on all of us.

The parents demonstrate a grace and a wisdom that is so often missing in today's world. May Hashem grant that their example enlightens people on all sides and brings a true peace closer. To the family - We are deeply humbled. We are deeply grateful. We are deeply, deeply sorry.

this will encurage daily killing of palestinian children to get parts for israeli boys, i dont think the killers will see any other advantage in this step

Thank you Very much! And dont worry! The lunch appointment is still on!

Thank God, the Khatib family and Ahmad are true heros, true legends. THEY ARE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS PEACE! I am so proud of them, I am so proud and happy that they are Palestinians. Just imagine if we had likewise Israeli familes, and more Palestinian families who care about humanity and nothing else. It doesnt have to be by organ donating, even though its such a beautiful way to put a soul in another body. Thank God... Yay!! FINALLY!!!

its a heart touching story and feel really touched by the kind act of his parents. may his soul rest in peace and God bless his parents.
