Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, where the hell are you getting your information?

Nobody knew your scenario before you explained it in detail.
I thought that "altruistic organ donor" was a well understood concept, I was wrong.
It is simply not happening.
You're factually wrong on that aspect.

I don’t think anyone just randomly donates a kidney, like you would give blood
You would be wrong about that, in 2021 more than 450 people in the US anonymously donated a kidney to a non-familiy member (source). This is the scenario I'm asking about. One of the arguments given is that just as we allow monetary donations to specific groups of people, why not organs.

Are you sure Germany doesn't have an altruistic kidney donation program?
This document from 2016 agrees with this assertion (bottom of second page).
It seems such a waste, this podcast makes it sound an amazing idea https://freakonomics.com/podcast/make-me-a-match-update/
An extreme version of this is: What should the German health service do if someone says they are willing to donate a kidney as long as it doesn't go to a Jew? On the one hand, nobody is forced to donate a kidney and by forbidding this we're making things worse for an innocent patient. On the other hand, it can be seen as the state sanctioning this kind of discrimination.

This is my issue with redditors deleting all their content from reddit. I agree with leaving because of the policy changes, but I think that adopting a scorched earth policy, mostly harms other users.
