2024-03-04 Organs Israel is accused of stealing organs from dead Palestinians. Medics and relatives in Gaza have reported bodies being returned with missing hearts, kidneys and livers. But this isn’t the first time Israel has been accused of organ theft. https://www.tiktok.com/@ajplus/video/7342537382761188638
2009-11-26 Israeli Organ Trafficking and Theft: From Moldova to Palestine In August Sweden’s largest daily newspaper published an article containing grisly evidence suggesting that Israel had been taking Palestinian internal organs. The article, by veteran photojournalist Donald Bostrom, called for an international investigation to discover the facts.
Israel immediately accused Bostrom and the newspaper of “anti-Semitism,” and charged that suggesting Israelis could be involved in the illicit removal of body parts constituted a modern “blood libel” (medieval stories of Jews killing people for their blood). The fact is, however, that Israeli organ harvesting—sometimes with Israeli governmental funding and the participation of high Israeli officials, prominent Israeli physicians, and Israeli ministries—has been documented for many years. Among the victims have been Palestinians.
Nancy Scheper-Hughes is Chancellor’s Professor of Medical Anthropology at the University of California Berkeley, the founder of Organ Watch, and the author of scholarly books and articles on organ trafficking. She is the pundit mainstream media call upon when they need expert commentary on the topic.
While Scheper-Hughes emphasizes that traffickers and procurers come from numerous nations and ethnicities, including Americans and Arabs, she is unflinchingly honest in speaking about the Israeli connection: “Israel is at the top,” she states. “It has tentacles reaching out worldwide.” https://www.wrmea.org/from-our-archives/israeli-organ-trafficking-and-theft-from-moldova-to-palestine.html
