    Israel has previously denied harvesting organs from dead Palestinians without the consent of families, calling such accusations “antisemitic”.

    Ever notice how anytime someone accuses Israel of something, Israel says it’s antisemitic?

    Their accusations mean nothing, because at this point the Israeli government just reflexively says it.

      Sounds like something an antisemite would say!

      /s

      You’re 100% correct.

      Blood libel is anti-Semitic.

      Just because you don’t understand these code phrases or dog whistles doesn’t mean anti-Semitism doesn’t exist.

        You’re right, but Israel is experiencing a boy who cried wolf scenario. They just aren’t trustworthy for anything

      Isn’t organ harvesting a really difficult process that needs to be handled quickly and shortly after death?

      I wouldn’t put it past Israel, given their behavior, but this seems initially implausible to me, as someone with limited knowledge of the medical process.

        Kidneys can last like a day and a half outside the body…

        But Israel is taking a lot of living prisoners, and returning bodies that are missing organs which coincidentally are almost always ones that are transplantable…

        It’s fine to be cautious, but what other rationale would you use for those organs being missing from returned bodies?

        I don’t think Israel has even given an alternative, but I may have missed it

    In what world would this make sense? People really need to think these things through.

    The NGO claimed it has documented Israeli forces confiscating dozens of dead bodies from the al-Shifa and Indonesian hospitals in northern Gaza, alongside others in the south.

    Medical professionals reportedly found vital organs, such as livers, kidneys and hearts, alongside cochleas and corneas, were missing, which the Euro-Med Monitor called “evidence” of potential organ theft.

    After death you have 4~ hours to harvest a heart. So they’re claiming someone died in Gaza, they got the body to the morgue then Israel captured the hospital, took the bodies and fast choppered them to another medical center, to harvest a heart… all within 4 hours of death.

      I’m not sure but other tissues within the heart, like valves, might last longer. Also many parts can be used for research, not necessarily transplantation.

      In the early 00s there were a lot of reports in alternative media about Israelis eating babies.
      This seems like an extension of that.

      Israel should be abolished, but we don’t need to make up things to make that argument
