In the midst of all conflicts in the Middle East between the Palestinian and the Israelis, there are still acts of such generosity of spirit that it renews one’s faith in Humanity. One such act happened on June 5, 2001 when the family of Mazen Julani, a 33 year ole pharmacists traditionally from Arab  east Jerusalem consented  to organ donation.  “Islam does not forbid  donating organs  to save another’s life” said Lulti Julani, “so I donated the organs to save the life of others no matter  if they were Jews, Christians, or Muslims even though  my son  was killed by a Jewish settlers bullet. Mazen Julani’s organs went to four Jews and an Arab. On April 4, 2002 the situation was reversed when a Palestinian woman, Aisha Abu Said, 54, received  he kidneys of an Israeli victim of a Palestinian suicide bomber. Kader Siad, Alisha Said’s son, told the press that he had not been aware that theorgan donr had been a victim of a Palestinian suicide bomber. He said that the family  of the victim deserved better and he hoped  that they thought his thanks  were sincere.
