Episode Details

No one can forget the horrifying terror attack of 2001 when a suicide bomber killed 21 people, mostly teenage girls, at a Tel Aviv nightclub. But few remember the Palestinian pharmacist murdered in East Jerusalem shortly afterward in a possible revenge attack - whose family donated his heart to save a Jewish Israeli man's life. Rowan Somerville explores the parallel stories in Beat: The True Story of a Bomb and a Heart Transplant.

This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel.
