3-year-old Israeli’s kidney saves Palestinian boy

[oberliner]

When three-year-old Noam Naor fell out the window and was pronounced clinically dead 10 days ago, his parents decided to donate his organs. One kidney was given to another Israeli child. The other saved the life of a 10-year-old Palestinian.

The operation, carried out Sunday at the Schneider children’s ward at Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Hospital, was deemed successful.

Health Minister Yael German on Sunday praised the Naor family for the life-saving act, which she called “an example” for everyone.

“In my eyes, Noam’s parents are noble and an inspiration to us all,” German said. At the hardest moment of their life, they made a difficult decision that their son’s death would bequeath life to a Palestinian child.

1. So the obvious comment is: "Yes, the same blood does run through all of our veins."

Yep, we're the same deep down regardless of race, religion, gender, etc. We're all humans in the end.

Good for the parents to donate the organs and help others.
