Ondanks het conflict is er op individueel niveau samenwerking, compassie en zelfs opoffering. Dat is altijd weer mooi om te zien. Israelische doctoren die alles doen om doodzieke Palestijnse kinderen te genezen, geheel los van de vraag of de vader misschien een Hamas aanhanger is die zijn kinderen leert over het 'heldhaftige verzet', en Palestijnen die hun organen afstaan zonder zich af te vragen of de Israeli's die zo gered worden straks op Palestijnen gaan schieten. Het lost het conflict niet op, maar laat zien dat er hoop is, dat er altijd hoop is.
Een gelukkig nieuwjaar voor al onze Joodse lezers!

Palestinian family's tragedy saves 3 dying Israelis

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) – On 27 August, a Palestinian four-year-old, Abdul-Hayy Salhout, fell from a balcony at his family's home in the Jabal Al-Mukabbir village in occupied East Jerusalem.
Doctors at the Hadassah Medical Center spent eight hours trying to revive the toddler in the intensive care unit, where he died six days later. Abdul-Hayy's parents decided at the time to donate his organs.
According to the Israeli news site Ynet, the boy's liver has since been successfully transplanted to a critically ill seven-year-old Israeli boy. A kidney was given to an eight-year-old girl, also Israeli, whose body has accepted it. The other kidney went to a 55-year-old Israeli man, and he is in good condition too despite concerns of rejection due to the age difference.
"My son arrived at the hospital in very serious condition, and it was impossible to save his life. But we're so happy to see him alive inside other people," Abdul-Hayy's father told Ynet. "It makes no difference to us whether the recipients speak Arabic or Hebrew, because saving a human life is the same."
