Gaza is the largest man made prison in the world. People are bombarded daily, water is shut off, and houses are bulldozed with no justice or recompense. Please pray for the region and that peace prevails. I don't know much about this 6 month old child named Muhammad but I know from following the news that deaths like this in Gaza are frequent occurrences.

The Palestinian boy's death in the West Bank town of Jenin, tragically, was not unusual.

Children are commonly victims of fighting in the Middle East.

But what happened after his death in November 2005 was exceptional.

Ahmed's grieving parents donated the boy's organs to "the enemy" - an Israeli hospital.

His heart now beats in the chest of an Israeli Druze Arab girl.

His liver kept a Jewish girl and an Israeli mother alive.

His lungs were transplanted into a teenage Jewish girl and his kidneys divided between a five-year-old Bedouin and a three-year-old Jewish girl.

The parents, Ismail and Abla Khatib, decided that some good could come of his death.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Matt: 5:43-44

What would the world be like if Christianity as a whole really took this seriously?

Below is a blog post from Badger, in which he translates from arabic comments made by Harith Al-Dhari on the long term security agreement the US is attempting to sign with the puppet Iraqi government, which would authorize the the continued presence of US troops in Iraq after the UN occupation mandate ends later this year.

"When there is injustice to one people and there is no way of receiving justice and when several generations live under the poverty line and there is no hope for the improvement of their lives, they may forget their sanity because of hopelessness. And thus they may resort to violence.” - Shirin Ebadi
