HARVESTING ORGANS IN NAME OF ZIONISM TO 'DETER TERRORISM'?

HARVESTING ORGANS IN NAME OF ZIONISM TO 'DETER TERRORISM'?

There are up to 200 bodies of Palestinians who have been killed by Israel or died in Israeli occupation captivity still held by Israel. At least in 2010, the oldest cadaver held by Israel went back to 1967.

There has been several agreements to hand over bodies in recent years, but how many bodies have actually been given back to the families of the dead is unclear.

Most of these bodies are buried in "cemeteries of numbers", graves marked only by plaques with numbers, hence the name.

But 28 bodies of victims of the current uprising are held in the notorious Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv, where in the past organs were harvested from Palestinians without permit of families and without their knowledge.

Organs were also taken from Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon and harvested body parts were buried in mass graves without permission from families.

In the current circumstances, Israel's reluctance to return bodies has led to rumours of these bodies of the recently killed also being harvested for organs and some on the side of Israel have already come up with excuses - like our example shows - if this would actually be proven to to have happened.

"For the record, I'm in favour of harvesting organs from terrorists to save lives, to deter terrorism."

Yaakov Menken(1965-) blogger, columnist, rabbi and IT entrepreneur (graduate of Princeton university, who is active in both the United States and Israel. Menken is not an online troll, but a rather respected figure in mainstream circles.

Him coming up with excuses for possible harvesting of organs from killed Palestinians can't be used as an evidence to show that it is currently happening, but it does seem that taking organs is seen in pro-occupation circles as another possible and 'justified' way to punish the Palestinian dead and their families for resisting the Israeli occupation.

OCCUPIED PALESTINE'S NOVEMBER BEGINS AS OCTOBER ENDED: ISRAEL KILLS A YOUTH

OCCUPIED PALESTINE'S NOVEMBER BEGINS AS OCTOBER ENDED: ISRAEL KILLS A YOUTH

Israel's occupation forces shot several times Hassan Farrouk(27) in Beit Einun village near the occupied town of Al-Khalil / Hebron, stopped at gunpoint Palestinian medics from reaching him and forced them to leave and also attacked journalists who tried to get to the scene. 

After Farroukh had died of his wounds, Israeli occupation forces took his body away.

It appears that Israel is trying to limit the amount of publicity its occupation forces' killings of Palestinians gets by denying access to media - whose images also have often brought to question Israel's occupation forces' claims of "stabbings" and "stabbing attempts".

A claim of "stabbing attempt" has been made in connection with this killing also by the Israeli occupation. Attempting to eye-witness, there was no stabbing attempt and the youth was not near the Israeli soldiers when they opened fire at him.

PALESTINIAN KILLED AFTER VEHICULAR INCIDENT NEAR HALHOUL ON OCCUPIED WEST BANK

PALESTINIAN KILLED AFTER VEHICULAR INCIDENT NEAR HALHOUL ON OCCUPIED WEST BANK

On Wednesday Ibrahim Samir Ibrahim Skafi, aged 22 or 23, hit two Israel's occupation forces soldiers with his car near Halhoul on occupied West Bank and after being injured in the crash, he was shot at least once and possibly several times while still in his car with Israeli occupation forces soldiers stopping Palestinian ambulance from reaching the scene. Skafi perished. 

One of the occupation soldiers suffered "light", another "moderate" injuries.

Although both Israeli occupation and many Palestinian sources treat the event as an "attack", that can't be said with total certainty. Israel tends to treat all vehicular incidents between occupied Palestinians and Israeli occupiers as "attacks".

The previous death in the current uprising was that of 16 y/o Ahmed Awad Abu al-Rub near the al-Jalama checkpoint on Monday 2nd November. He was shot, according to Palestinian sources from an Israeli occupation military tower, while Israel's occupation forces claimed he was shot by occupation soldier on foot and gave the usual "acted suspiciously, drew a knife" litany. 

Medical care was denied from the dying teen, whose 17 y/o friend Mahmoud Mo’men Kamil was detained.

AFP does Israel's propaganda for it

Israel's occupation forces claim that the victim TRIED to stab an occupation forces member. There is no evidence of it, no weapon in photos taken immediately after the shooting.

Just like in Saturday's killing of Palestinian youth Israeli occupation forces produced as 'evidence' a little bit rusted small kitchen knife with no blood on it and an occupation forces member with a small hole in his t-shirt with no wound, with another occupier a hand on his threat, where no blood was to be seen.

AFP just repeats Israeli occupation claims without bothering to check them up or even to question them.

Germany wants to show that no challenge to austerity and neoliberalism will be accepted and it wants a regime change in Athens, a government by the people who created the Greece state debt in the first place and did nothing to push through those "reforms" now demanded from Syriza.

But these fathers of tax evasion and culture of bribery are now loyal converts to austerity, although not to deconstructing their own web of cleptocracy and it's austerity that Germany demands, not believable reforms.

Old chairmen of Bank of Greece are polished off to be PM and ministers in a "technocratic government" until new rightwing government looks likely in polls.

This is a coup. Merkel whines about "lost trust", but why on earth should Syriza do what that loyal hand puppet of Berlin, Samaras, signed on. Samaras, who was treated kindly by Germany while not doing those "reforms" beyond austerity.

According to some estimate, there are up to 200 billion euros worth of money in Swiss bank accounts by Greek tax evaders. Has the EU offered help to regain those billions? Of course not.  They are by the same old elite which EU  now wants to re-instate.

Commenting  http://www.economist.com/comment/2778574#comment-2778574:

What The Economist is basically saying is that from it's point of view Greece doesn't need nor should have an elected government, because the fanatical neoliberal organs and their henchmen know better.
They know better, the Greek government is wrong in everything and should just obey. No point in Greek government or independence then, is it?

The obsession about retirement age is especially laughable, considering the sky-high unemployment among the younger age groups. Every year that people over 60 work is taken from the the youth, sidelining them more from the job market. It's just fanatical ideology that makes the Troika demand it.

And the German posturing about debts is laughable. In the Paris Peace Treaty in 1947 Germany was ordered to pay my country reparations for it's schorched earth policy. We paid our own war reparations by 1952. To this day East Germany, West Germany and united Germany have paid us exactly 0 euros and have always resisted and still resist any talk about them paying those debts.

The Germans love the myths about their economy and national characters, but at the end of the day they are people who burn your provincial capital and for 68 years refuse to pay the compensation they were ordered to pay, while pretending to be avatars of economic competence, prudence and thriftiness that all should emulate.

When it comes to Greece, the Germans bribed Greek politicians, officials and military to buy German military hardware by the billions, part of it broken when delivered, like some of the submarines. Now all those bribes are forgotten by the Germans. More sickening posturing from them.

Commenting: Middle East peace needs UN resolution

1. Every time Palestinians have made or offered a 'hard compromise' (hard for them, not for Israel), US and Israeli governments have seen it as a weakness and upped their demands.

In 2009 PA was ready to give up 50 % of E. Jerusalem. Both US and Israeli governments refused this offer and demanded that PA gives up the ENTIRE E. Jerusalem.

US' negotiator Mitchell got angry on PA for even trying to hold to part of E. Jerusalem, demanded that Palestinians give it up and then prepare "for more hard compromises" aka to give up more land.

Enter Kerry, whose Likudnik team demanded that Palestinians give up 90 % of E. Jerusalem. Immediately Israel's government demanded that E. Jerusalem or Jerusalem overall can't be even MENTIONED in a peace agreement...

There are over 300 000 Palestinians in E. Jerusalem. Israel has kept running water cut off from E. Jerusalem's Shuafat refugee camp now for 13 months, destroyed homes and businesses in most days of the week, announces new illegal settlement building in E. Jerusalem each week and has made it clear that it won't accept Palestinian presence in E. Jerusalem if it gets to keep it. But those 300 000 Palestinians are "facts on the ground" that PA can't ignore.

Kerry's plan would have left up to 700 000 Palestinians in areas that would have been annexed by Israel. All evidence is that those areas would have been ethnically cleansed and the bantustans on what would have remained of West Bank would have become more crowded.

But US attitude is immortalized in Dennis Ross' own words in his memoirs that "Palestinians don't need land, Israel does." It's totally in contradiction with reality on the ground.

Lastly, the refugees: US and Israel take it for granted that refugees can't return (when they at the same time think it's right that everyone with 1 Jewish grand-parent can move into Palestinians' ancestral lands) and that refugees must forever be left rotting in refugee camps, outcasts from the society around them. The fact that Syrian and Iraqi conflicts have already turned that applecart of theirs has not - as is the case with them always when it comes to Palestinians - registered. There is likely no place for Palestinian refugees in any "new Syria", whoever wins. Lebanon can be engulfed too.

Does USA and Israeli govs really expect that Europe will take in hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees without demanding that Israel shares the burden? Apparently they do, like they still think that they can force Abbas or some successor to sign of the rights of refugees, sign of E. Jerusalem, Jordan Valley etc.

US and Israeli govs are utterly blind to the "red lines" that Palestinian leaders can't cross, whose breaking the people will not accept. Same goes with Europe. USA is far from Palestine, Europe is near and will be affected by ways that it must take into account and which the US politicians gorging themselves on Israeli Lobby money in Washington D.C. utterly fail to take into account.

2. UN didn't actually partition Palestine, and of course the actual dismemberment has been a horrific mess.

UN tried to partition Palestine, claiming Balfour declaration as an excuse, even when British government already in early 1920s said it was not binding. Palestinians would have gotten only 44 %, divided into four different, separate areas. The Anglo-American proposal in 1945 would have given Palestinians almost 60 %.
