mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (09.06.10)
forget the land and those who worship it. people like this are the true saints of our time.
7. I hope that among the recipients at least 1 of them was Pal!
Moise   (09.06.10)
and discrimination was not applied in this occation!!!
8. i hope jews can someday do the same
Jalal ,   Gaza   (09.06.10)
9. Organ donation
NYC Girl   (09.06.10)
Donating their little boy's organs was a life-affirming act in the face of this poor family's terrible tragedy. Hopefully, they've gotten some comfort from the fact that three people are alive today because of their unselfish gesture.
10. TO Jalal - No. 8
Phillip Silver ,   Bangor, USA   (09.06.10)
Yoni Jesner, a 19 year old Scottish Jew, was killed in a suicide bombing in Jerusalem in 2002. His family donated one of his kidneys to a 7 year old Palestinian girl whose life was saved as a result.
11. #8 Jalal: so sad
Jalal ,   saana   (09.06.10)
You can't stop for a moment and think?
12. sean
noa_shaun@yahoo.com ,   noa_shaun@yahoo.com   (09.06.10)
look at the picture of the recipient. He looks pretty Arabic to me.
13. To #3 Olim Hadashim
Cynic #2   (09.06.10)
Thanks for the sentiment. Actually most Pals are noble people but they are usually dehumanised by your system.
14. GOD BLESS YOUR ANGLIEC SOUL YA HABIBI :(
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.06.10)
15. Most of what you read now(including that of SarahB's)
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (09.06.10)
Is pretty much different from what you had in your heads only a while ago. SarahB always had the desire to see every single palestinian suffer in the most cruel way. And now this?! Isn't this sheer hypocrisy??!
16. #13 no we dont
Omri ,   Israel   (09.06.10)
Actually in the army service we get propaganda on how we shouldn't dehumanize them and how we should always remember they are humans too. If this sounds too weird for you to be true go ask any other Israel soldier on the matter, be surprised to get the same results.
17. enough for war
abu jaber ,   gaza   (09.06.10)
this sign tells us that we can live in peace if we are willing to do it...
18. Nice story for a change, for Ramadan and Rosh Hashana
rebecca ,   Modiin   (09.06.10)
Condolences and thanks to the Salhut family, and thanks to the Israeli Hospitals that save lives, all lives, whenever possible.
19. #15 and on what base do you say that?
Omri ,   Israel   (09.06.10)
IS it really that hard to recognize Jews as humans too?
20. # 14 Salma of "Palestine" euh!
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.07.10)
Yes People, on this rare occasion I agree with Salma. This boy has an angelic face and for sure he will rest among the angels. Condolences and heartfelt thanks to the Salhut family who must be suffering a lot. The father did a good thing. It gives us hope for the future. As for ignoramus Jalal in Gaza, you could not be more wrong. Israeli hospitals save hundreds' of Palestinian daily. Goes to show your ignorance. Oh well, you must be one of the rotten apples.
21. Everething is posible.
Papi ,   Israel   (09.07.10)
Give politics to ordanary people, and there will come peace soon !
22. #8
Abu Ahmed ,   Taibe   (09.07.10)
If you did read some more news, than you new that already.
23. Rest in peace
Amy ,   USA   (09.07.10)
May he rest in peace, Allah yirhamo...very sad.
24. Sad that it came at the cost of their son
Ilan ,   Ariel   (09.07.10)
The family acted with compassion to others. I pray that their thoughtfulness helps them with their grief and that they should merit only happiness in their life from this day on.
25. A shinning example to humanity
Avi ,   Israel   (09.07.10)
What a shining example of humanity these people are, they turned a tradegy tn to joy for others regardless of nationality or religion. Gives us all hope in this war torn region.
26. #15 Leave SarahB alone dimwit
Ron ,   US   (09.07.10)
You obviously have nothing to contribute.
27. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.07.10)
Two points: 1. Your opinion is irrelevant. 2. Your opinion is irrelevant. What part of items (1) and (2) do you NOT understand?
28. They already do.
Martin ,   USA   (09.07.10)
...including past Jewish terror victims donating to Arab recipients.
29. Agreed Abu Jabir
Martin ,   USA   (09.07.10)
If we can see the humanity in each other as this poor boy's family does..
30. At least we are having a conversation
Lori ,   Rockville Centre USA   (09.08.10)
Look, this tragedy just inspired an international cross-cultural conversation, however fleeting. Even a few words can plant the seeds of understanding and peace...
