“His determination not to let the manifest goodness of a Jew get in the way of hating Jews makes me want to be a better Jew-hater myself.”
Amman, March 27 – Relatives and friends of a local father of three expressed admiration for him this week as the man continues not to let the lifesaving generosity of a Jew get in the way of a commitment to desiring the downfall and destruction of all Jews.
Hussein Maher, 29, faced liver failure in March, but received the liver of an Israeli Jew who perished in an automotive accident last month, thanks to the efforts of an international organization that aims to foster better relations among different peoples by facilitating organ donation across borders. Despite benefiting from those efforts, say Maher’s family, he remains steadfast in his animosity toward Jews, in particular the Jews of Israel.
“It’s awe-inspiring – there’s no other word for it,” gushed his brother Awad. “The emotional and mental fortitude necessary to maintain that level of antagonism toward Jews under such circumstances would be beyond many of us, but Hussein is special. His determination not to let the manifest goodness of a Jew get in the way of hating Jews makes me want to be a better Jew-hater myself.”
“I’m both proud and humbled,” admitted his wife Samr. “I’m proud because, well, he’s my husband, and this is not an everyday achievement. He had to undergo test after test, and then the surgery, and all the follow-up, the rehabilitation, the anti-rejection regimen, and is alive and getting healthier every single day because a Jewish family decided to approve their child’s liver going to him, but he still despises them with every fiber of his being – and now, with several fibers of their being, as well.”
“But I’m also humbled,” she continued, “because I’m not sure I would be capable of overcoming that level of challenge. Most of us wouldn’t be able to sustain our hate for Jews without owing our lives to Jews; but Hussein not only still hates them, he hates them even more than he did before. It’s a wonder.”
Hussein himself has yet to regain the stamina to lead a normal life, or even to conduct a proper interview, but Samr relayed that when he feels strong enough, her husband intends to inspire others with appearances at demonstrations, events, and government functions at which Jew-hate plays a central role. “It’s all about giving back to a world that made his survival and recovery possible, and inspiring others to raise their sights to achieve levels of antisemitism they didn’t think they could attain.”
