That's exactly what I thought. When I read the translation I thought they were telling the hostages to not get into trouble so that they would not be chained up to a tree by their neck or otherwise handicapped. If I was in that situation I would have interpreted the exact opposite of the messages.

I don't understand why blood, marrow, and organs have to be donated. I agree that the concept is discussing, but in a life and death situation people should be able to pay to "encourage" a donor.

Already there are a lot of people who go to third world countries to buy organs. If it was legal to buy organs people wouldn't have to risk the unsanitary operation condition.

Furthermore, seeing as giving blood or marrow is less dangerous there should be no reason not to allow people to buy them.

"One obstacle to the realization of a Palestinian state is the fact that the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are not connected." Yet if they were then Israel wouldn't be connected and there would be a war between Fatah (West Bank) and Hamas (Gaza).
