A Guardian.co.uk article gives some insight into a recent statement by the Israel administration about their practices of taking organs from Palestinians:

Israel has admitted that pathologists harvested organs from dead Palestinians, and others without the consent of their families – a practice that it said ended in the 1990s, it emerged at the weekend.

The admission, by the former head of the country’s forensic institute, followed a furious row prompted by a Swedish newspaper reporting that Israel was killing Palestinians in order to use their organs – a charge that Israel denied and called “antisemitic”.

The revelation, in a television documentary, is likely to generate anger in the Arab and Muslim world and reinforce sinister stereotypes of Israel and its attitude to Palestinians. Iran’s state-run Press TV tonight reported the story, illustrated with photographs of dead or badly injured Palestinians.

According to a few media reports, various organs were harvested without permission like corneas, skin and heart valves, says an Arab News article:

 

The chief Israeli pathologist and director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir, professor Yehuda Hiss, has admitted harvesting organs from the bodies of dead Palestinians without the consent of their families.

Hiss said that he and doctors who worked under him took parts from bodies — including skin, corneas and heart valves — in the 1990s for transplantation. He also admitted that the same parts were taken from dead Israelis for the same purpose.

Hiss’ remarks came in an interview with Nancy Sheppard-Hughes, a professor of anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley who tracks the organ trade worldwide. The one-hour interview was recorded in 2000 as part of Sheppard-Hughes’ study at Abu Kabir and was broadcast on Israeli television on Friday night.

The report said Sheppard-Hughes decided to publish the interview after the leading Swedish daily Aftonbladet reported in August that Israeli soldiers killed Palestinians to trade in their organs.

Such allegations are similar to what the Chinese Communist Regime is doing to live Falun Gong practitioners in China today. More information here at Press TV:

According to the report, Israeli soldiers were snatching and killing Palestinian men to harvest their organs for sale on the black market. It sheds light on the case of Bilal Ahmed Ghanem, a 19-year-old Palestinian man, who was shot dead in 1992 by Israeli forces in the West Bank village of Imatin. 

The report claimed that Ghanem’s body was then abducted and returned several days later by the Israeli military with a cut from the stomach to the neck that had been stitched up. 

When asked what happened to the body, the soldiers told Bilal’s family that he had undergone an autopsy in Tel Aviv. The family, however, claims that his organs had been stolen. 

After the incident, at least 20 Palestinian families told Bostrom that they suspected that the Israeli military had taken the organs of their sons after they had been killed by Israeli forces and their bodies were taken away. 

The Israeli Foreign Ministry reacted with anger to the report, calling it “a grotesque libel to incite anti-Semitic sentiments.” 

Their anger was widely believed to be due to the fact that it had made reference to the recent arrests in New Jersey of several prominent US Jews for a number of alleged crimes, including brokering the sale of organs for transplant. 

However, a recent report says that the Chinese Communist Party is doing far worse things than Israel and on a much larger scale, often times doing the harvesting while people are alive. Read more about it here at the Epoch Times, NTDTV and Monsters and Critics.
