I wish to know how you'd react reading this little story, via NZ Herald:
The family of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, killed by Israeli soldiers, this weekend donated his kidney to an Israeli boy who desperately needed a transplant. "It doesn't matter," they said, "whether the recipient was a Jew or an Arab." Ahmed Khatib was shot in the head and pelvis on Thursday during a firefight in the West Bank city of Jenin.
He was rushed to the emergency room at Rambam hospital in Haifa, but died without recovering consciousness. The army expressed regret and ordered an investigation, but claimed the boy was toting a toy gun which soldiers mistook for a rifle. The family said he was with a group of boys waving toy guns to celebrate the Id el-Fitr festival.
Jamil Khatib, his uncle, said the boy's father, Ismail Khatib, agreed to donate the organ after he saw the young Israeli kidney patient suffering in the hospital. "He felt he had to go beyond politics," the uncle explained.
Tell me, what's your feeling?
