Even though a lot of hatred is against Israel, maybe you should also widen your horizon and see acts of hope and peace
An eight-day-old Palestinian baby was transfered from the Gaza Strip to an Israeli hospital near Tel Aviv on Sunday to receive life-saving heart surgery.
Doctors at Sheba Medical Center said the child has a severe congenial heart defect and would have died within days had he not been operated on. His prognosis is now said to be excellent.
Israeli medical crews continue to bring Palestinian patients from Gaza to Sheba Medical Center to receive critical treatment they simply cannot get in the Palestinian-controlled territories. This despite the fact that Gaza-based terrorists are raining down rockets on southern Israel.
Ambulance personnel who spoke to Ynet said they are putting their lives in great danger to transfer Palestinian patients from Gaza on a daily basis. Last week, as Hamas mortar shells fell all around them, Israeli medics treated a Palestinian patient on the spot at Gaza's Erez Crossing.
A doctor from Sheba Medical Center said that on average, three of the transfered patients every week are children or babies with heart defects. There is no heart surgeon in the Gaza Strip.
The cost of the surgeries is largely covered by donations Sheba Medical Center raises for the purpose of helping ailing Palestinians.
I wonder if Palestinians would do the same with jewish child...I want to believe that answer is -yes.
Infact they would, and not just that - they did it for many many centuries. Not just for the children, but for all the Jewish people who wanted to settle in the Islamic State. As stated before, because they wanted to flee from other states who were ready to kill them.
That's a kool article by the way, thanks. There are some good people out there from both sides, alhamdulillah (the praise is for Allaah.)

Here is a remarkable story posted on this forum by sonz last year. A Gesture Of Love
The parents of a Palestinian boy killed by Israeli soldiers have donated his organs to three Israeli children.
Ahmad Khatib, 12, was carrying a toy rifle when he was gunned down on Thursday in the West Bank town of Jenin.
The soldiers, who were conducting a raid, had mistaken him for a militant.
The boy died on Sunday but three Israeli girls underwent surgery to receive his lungs, heart and liver.
Ahmad's father Ismail Khatib said the decision to donate the organs was influenced by the fact his 24-year-old brother died while waiting for a liver transplant.
Mr Khatib hoped the gesture would send a message of peace to Israelis and Palestinians.
He said: "In our religion, God allows us to give organs to another person and it doesn't matter who the person is."
The father of 12-year-old Samah Gadban, who had been waiting five years for a heart, called the donation a "gesture of love."
Riad Gadban said: "I want to thank him (Mr Khatib) and his family. With their gift, I would like for them to think that my daughter is their daughter."
The Schneider Children's Medical Centre in Israel reported that a 14-year-old Jewish girl has received Ahmad's lungs and a seven-month-old girl was given his liver.
Israel has a chronic shortage of donor organs that many medical officials attribute to Jewish religious taboos against such donations.
Sarcasm?? There are a whole bunch of atheists, christians, jews, agnostics and come pagans, hindus, buddhists and zorastrians here speaking their views.
There is still the need to promote peace, and I believe there is still the need for an Islamic forum. I have found peace despite all the diverse conversations that are brought up here.

Eric H, please correct me if I am wrong, then answer the questions that follow:
______________________________
1. The lungs of the mistakenly killed boy were transferred to a 14-year-old Jewish girl.
2. The heart of the mistakenly killed boy was transferred to a 12-year-old ? girl named Samah Gadban?
3. One liver of mistakenly killed boy was transferred to a 07-month-old Jewish girl.
Q1. Is that's why he was rushed to the Israeli hospital?
Q2. The boy's head+heart, lungs + one liver were not hit, what did he died of?
Q3. Was Samah's father — Gadban — Christian or Muslim?
Of course, he was not a Jew as Jewish religious taboos are against such donations.
And he was Palestinian not Israeli as he was living in the West Bank town of Jenin.
4. Mr Khatib — boy's father— hoped the gesture would send a message of peace to Israelis + Palestinians.
Q4. How did the Israeli reciprocate for that message of Love+peace?!
Q5. Was Mr Khatib Hamas or Fatih follower? Or independent?! Or?!
5. Ahmad's father Ismail Khatib said the decision to donate the organs was influenced by the fact that his 24-year-old brother died while waiting for a liver transplant.
Q6. Why did not Ahmad's father donate one of his livers to his brother? Was he one-livered then?
7. Ahmad Khatib, 12, was carrying a toy rifle when he was gunned down on Thursday in the West Bank town of Jenin.
8. The soldiers, who were conducting a raid, had mistaken him for a militant.
Q7. If Ahmad's father was so peace-loving, why did he buy a toy rifle for his boy?
Q8. How should Palestinian welcome those who made them refugees in their homeland? With Flowers?
Q9. Why are Israeli soldiers so scared by the boy's toy rifle?

Guyabano started this thread by saying that an Israeli hospital was helping Palestinians. My reply was to say that I had also read a story about a Palestinian helping Israelis, the story was originally posted by sonz; one of the moderators on this forum.
I posted the article because it had stuck in my mind from reading it several months ago. Sorry but I am not in a position to answer your questions because that short story is all the information I came across.
