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.
