Blood Feud

The Arabs (well, some of them) are arguing among themselves over the question, "Is Jewish blood equal to Palestinian blood?"

A Palestinian politician, Mahmoud al-Habbash, accidentally let it slip that Jewish blood was equal to Arab blood.  He is being roundly criticized and there are threats of, pardon the expression, bloodshed.

Israeli hospitals will transfuse blood from one to another whenever needed, and nobody complains about it.   So I guess equality wins out.

How much extra-tribal blood do you have to receive before you're considered a convert?

The issue has generated some bad blood.
