An Arab woman has received a kidney from a Jewish man killed in clashes between Arabs and Jews in the Israeli city of Lod.

The man, 56-year-old Yigal Yehoshua, died May 17 after being hit by rocks during riots in Lod, a mixed city of Israel’s Jews and Arabs.

The violence followed protests and clashes in Jerusalem that also led to an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas.

In the violence in Lod and other mixed cities inside Israel, groups of Arabs and Jews fought each other in the streets. Rioters also burned cars and businesses.

But after a series of violent days, there was a rare moment of hope. Randa Aweis, a 58-year-old mother of six, got one of Yehoshua’s kidneys after a 10-year wait. Yehoshua was registered as an organ donor and his kidney was identified as a medical fit for Aweis.

1. Some good news shouldn't be made public

I hope she recovers and stays safe.

4. Strange, it seems like the exact sort of thing that should be widely publicized by to me?

Muslim woman receiving a kidney from a Jew. Local extremist on both sides may not like hearing this. I applaud the act though.

Edit:
So it turns out she is a Christian Arab and not Muslim. That changes the picture somewhat.

3. A couple of days ago..

someone called Israel a "racist" country. That person knows who he/she is and i wont call out name but i hope this person is reading this.

So much to say

Israel gives FREE healthcare to all its citizens... ALL
Without exception they dont play favorites---arab,jew,christian
The donor wanted it to go to someone who needed it
The donor was mercilessly killed by arab mob.

I hope the person that said Israel is a racist country will step up and retract that bs.

I doubt it.

Note...I didnt use any names.
