How ironic: Sep. 22, 2002 Palestinian girl receives Jewish bomb victim's kidney By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A suicide bombing that took the lives of six Jews provided a new life for a Palestinian girl, who received a kidney from a young Scottish student killed in the blast, hospital officials said Sunday. Yasmin Abu Ramila, 7, a Palestinian from east Jerusalem, had been on a transplant waiting list and undergoing dialysis treatment for almost two years, an Israeli Health Ministry official said. A suitable donor finally became available when Jonathan Jesner, 19, a yeshiva student from Scotland, died on Friday, a day after he was critically wounded when a Palestinian suicide bomber blew up a bus in Tel Aviv. Five Israelis were also killed. Abu Ramila was in a stable condition following the transplant operation, completed on Saturday night, hospital spokeswoman Riva Shaked said. Her parents were grateful. "I don't know what to say to thank the family of the man killed in the attack," the Maariv daily quoted Abu Ramila's mother, Rina, as saying. "I grieve for their loss and thank them for their donation which saved the life of my daughter." Jesner came to Israel last year to study at a Jewish seminary for a year. He decided to extend his stay and put off medical school for a year, relatives said. After medical school, Jesner hoped to return to Israel from his hometown of Glasgow. Jesner was buried in Jerusalem on Friday. "If he could have helped people during his life he would have, but now that he can't, at least he can help people in death," said Ari Jesner, the victim's brother, according to Maariv.
