It was triggered by the successful transplant of the heart of a slain Israel Defense Forces soldier to save the life of an east Jerusalem Arab. The operation was per- formed at Hadassah Univer- sity Hospital in Jerusalem Nov. 16, only hours after Sgt. Ze'ev Traum, a 40-year- old IDF reservist died at Soroka Hospital in Beer- sheba from head wounds suf- fered in a Palestinian am- bush in the Gaza Strip on Nov. 13. The recipient was Hana Khader, 54, a Christian Arab patient at Hadassah Hospital. Soroka, protesting publication of the donor's and recipient's names after the operation, announced its withdrawal from an inter- hospital agreement to notify each other of the availability of human organs donated for transplant. In this case, Soroka, a government hospital, notified Hadassah that Traum's heart was available. Soroka and other sources claim no one was authorized to release the donor's name, which was published by Reuters, the international news agency. Traum, who was born in Israel, was brought to New York at the age of 9 and was active in a Bronx chapter of Habonim, the youth group of the Labor Zionist movement. He returned to Israel in 1968. His American-born wife, Brenda Krasner Traum, was a member of Habonim in Baltimore. Brenda au- thorized the transplant of his heart. She apparently agreed to release his name, partly to draw public attention to the need for organ donors. But she had no idea at the time who the recipient would be. Doctors explained it is im- possible to give this informa- tion in advance because the donated heart must be tested for compatibility with the recipient. Khader, in fact, was one of three potential recipients summoned to Hadassah Hospital. Doctors found his case was the most urgent. But public debate has focused mainly on the fact that a Palestinian benefited from the death of a Jewish soldier killed by Palesti- nians. Some religious and right- wing circles have demanded an end to intercommunal transplants. Professor Avraham Abramov, chief of pediatrics at the Bikur Holim Hospital in Jerusalem, an Orthodox institution, was quoted on the issue by the Jerusalem Post. Abramov thought the transplant of the heart of a Jewish soldier killed by Arabs to another Arab was "tasteless and tactless. There is a limit to democ- racy," the Orthodox doctor was quoted as saying. But Habonim Dror North America, the Labor Zionist youth movement to which Traum once belonged, took a different view. It "saluted its graduate, IDF Sgt. Ze'ev Traum, who gave his life in defense of Israel and then donated his heart to save the life of a Palestinian Arab." Gang's Capture Blamed On CBS Jerusalem (JTA) — Palestinian activists are blaming a CBS Television crew for the capture of an ex- tremist gang by the Israel Defense Forces earlier this month, and have put out a "contract" on the cameraman, Palestinian sources said. The union of television workers has warned all for- eign crews to take precau- tions, especially in the Nablus area. The gang called itself the "Red Eagles." The IDF raid- ed its hideout, killed its leader and arrested five suspects. Several members had been interviewed by CBS-TV only a day before the raid. Intifada activists suspect the cameraman, who shot the interview near Nablus in the West Bank, passed the tape to security forces, somehow facilitating their capture of the gang. The cameraman has not been identified but is prob- ably Israeli. Foreign TV news organizations operating in Israel generally employ local people.
