Message of Hope in a Mad World- Bryan Peterson
Tue, 07/01/2008 - 03:11 — Stephen WellingtonThe 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.

"To build cooperativism is not to do the opposite of capitalism as if this system did not have any useful features... Cooperativism must surpass it, and for this purpose must assimilate its methods and dynamism."
