Israel Furious at Organ Harvesting AccusationPosted on Aug 24, 2009
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu likened a report in a Swedish tabloid that said Israeli troops harvested organs from dead Palestinians to “medieval libels that Jews killed Christian children for their blood.” The Swedish government has refused to condemn the story on free speech grounds, Israel may refuse to let Sweden’s foreign minister into the country and the whole thing feels like a terrible distraction. —PS

If God, over his existence and in other faiths, has caused little but misery and suffering towards humanity for so long why do we still adhere to these archaic and somewhat barbaric ideals. Could it simply be that the Great Deceiver has pulled his most powerful trick..
Report thisOr is it the non-humanity amongst religious peoples.
Either way Israel is sick in it’s mind and it’s US Jewish family supports it’s madness.

You are absolutely right, Joe Lick, Israel has been an unmitigateded historical disaster for the Jewish people. We have mostly supported a power structure hijacked by ziofascists that will tarnish Jewish history the way the Nazis did German history.
And it is not over, the Israeli power structure going continally to the right supported by the dumbist of the Zionist lemmings. Israel has nuclear weapons and is ready to use them in what Seymour Hirsh called THE SAMPSON OPTION. The Israeli and American right wing supporting a death strategy. Israel is likely to end in the nuclear bang.
that is why Israeli intellectuals are emigrating to less barbaric countries, emigration now exceeding immigration in Israel.

In a letter to Mrs. Roosevelt, President Truman wrote (according to google)
“in a letter to Eleanor Roosevelt just a few weeks later: “The action of some of
our United States Zionists will prejudice everyone against what they are trying
to get done.
I fear very much that the Jews are like all underdogs. When they get on the
top, they are just as intolerant and as cruel as the people were to them when
they were underneath.
I regret this situation very much because my sympathy has always been on
their side.”
So much for what goes around always comes around.

This sickening story reminds me of the Nazis busily harvesting gold teeth, human fat to use in soap and also taking hair to sell for wigs and even piling up the suitcases and eyeglasses of those they killed. It just proves that all Fascists think alike and the more things change the more they stay the same. Of course, it has long been observed that Fascism and corporatism are just different names for the same thing.

LOLOL! I have to laugh when I hear Israel claim it wouldn’t do anything like that. If you will subject a people to 60 years of misery and treat them as if they were animals, deny them the same rights the nazis denied you, and kill them in the streets with illegal weapons, why would you NOT use their organs for your own citizenry? I have NO IDEA if they really did this, but the idea is not that far-fetched to me. I am no longer surprised at the atrocities we will do to each other in the name of god. I laugh a lot, because of the old adage “laugh or cry.” My tears went dry decades ago.

Israel is the worst enemy the Jewish people have ever had. Worse than the Nazis, worse than the colonists. They just don’t quite get it yet.

Brewerstroupe “Until Israel abandons this pose of moral superiority, it will continue to alienate humanists everywhere”.
Report thisSo one can assume that any accusation against the United States should also result in appointing a commission for an immediate and thorough investigation with no pose of “moral superiority”?
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

It is always amusing to see Israel’s spokespeople get on their high horse and deliver blanket denials of any wrongdoing by the chosen.
Fact is, criminals exist in any society and Jewish Society contains just as many miscreants as any other.
Few other nations seem to have the same need to exonerate all of their people in this way. The Brits do not deny Jack the Ripper, America does not deny the Columbine massacre.
Ariel Toaff is a professor of Medieval and Renaissance History at Bar Ilan University. He is the son of Elio Toaff, a former Chief Rabbi of Rome. In his 2007 book “Passovers of Blood: The Jews of Europe and Ritual Murders”, he cited an occurrence of the “blood libel”.
To most folk, this would be just another individual case of loony fundamentalist behaviour in medieval times (when such acts were common among Christians) but Toaff, despite his unquestioned scholarship, was made to withdraw the book.
So now we have Netanyahu in double denial - citing a false premise in order to disprove another.
I have no idea whether organs have been stolen, but then, neither does Netanyahu. He would gain far more credibility in my eyes by dismissing this allegation as unlikely but appointing a commission to investigate.
Until Israel abandons this pose of moral superiority, it will continue to alienate humanists everywhere.

Neve Gordon, Ben Gurion University Faculty member writes in Counter Punch.
“3.5 million Palestinians and almost half a million Jews live in the areas Israel
occupied in 1967, and yet while these two groups live in the same area, they
are subjected to totally different legal systems.
The Palestinians are stateless and lack many of the most basic human rights.
By sharp contrast, all Jews—whether they live in the occupied territories or in
Israel—are citizens of the state of Israel.”
Alludes to Israel as an aparthaid state. ( which receives some 16 million US
dollars everyday of the year from US taxpayers, while millions in US are
unemployed and losing their homes).
The rest of the world is obviously not as naive or gullible as we.

Elaine McEwan it is true. You can count on it. There is evidence. We’re not the bunch of fools you think we are. I suppose you also think what happened in Abu Ghraib was the work of a few bad apples. You’re the gullible one.

THE IDF: ISRAEL’S ORGAN GRINDER
August 19, 2009
By Gilad Atzmon
“In the photo, The IDF’s Chief Rabbi, OC Chaplaincy Brig. Gen. Avichai Ronzki and OC Medical Corps Brig. Gen. Nachman Ash both signed up for an organ donation card during a ceremony in the Kirya Military Headquarters in Tel Aviv. One wonders if they are aware that, if the claims are true, their very own IDF has at least on several occasions been involved in obtaining younger organs from Palestinians they have killed, returned to their families after five days and had buried in a regime of a night-time blackout under Israeli-enforced Palestinian curfew.
There is an old Jewish joke that tells the story of a dying Jewish merchant who calls his son to his sickbed just before he perishes. He tells him, “Listen to me Moisha’le, life is not just about money… you can also do gold and diamonds.”
Monitoring Israeli and Jewish news reveals a devastating fact, it is not ‘just’ about money. It may also be about human organs. A few weeks ago we learned about a ring of American Rabbis who had been arrested in New Jersey upon suspicion of human organs trafficking (amongst many other crimes). Rabbi Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, we read, enticed “vulnerable people to give up a kidney for $10,000 which he would turn around and sell for $160,000.” Not too bad, I thought to myself then. We are living in hard times, financial melt down, credit crunch, Wall Street is licking its wounds, the car industry is evaporating. Seemingly, kidney trafficking is still booming.
In fact, the ring of the Rabbi in New Jersey didn’t take me by complete surprise. For years we have been hearing about Palestinians claiming that Israel is “deep into organ trafficking.” We also learned that the family of Alastair Sinclair, a Scottish tourist who hanged himself in an Israeli jail, “was forced to bring suit for his return with missing body parts.”
In 2002 the Tehran Times reported: “The Zionist state has tacitly admitted that doctors at the Israeli forensic institute at Abu Kabir had extracted the vital organs of three Palestinian teenage children killed by the Israeli Army nearly ten days ago. Zionist Minister of Health Nessim Dahhan said in response to a question by Arab member of the Zionist Parliament ‘Knesset’, Ahmed Teibi, on Tuesday that he couldn’t deny that organs of Palestinian youths and children killed by the Israeli forces were taken out for transplants or scientific research.”
But now the news about Israeli trafficking of human organ is spreading to Western mainstream media. Ynet, the biggest Israeli online newspaper, reported today that “Leading Swedish daily Aftonbladet claimed in one of its articles that IDF soldiers killed Palestinians in order to trade in their organs.”
A few weeks ago we had a debate here on PTT whether Zionism is a colonial apparatus or not. One of the Materialist arguments against the perception of Zionism as a colonial practice was that Palestine has never been too attractive economically; it lacks oil, gold or minerals. However, this may change now. People who specialise in organ theft may find Palestine to be heaven on earth. In the light of the latest vastly spreading accusations, the Jewish national project maybe is colonial after all.”

What is the matter with you people? There is no evidence whatsoever as to the veracity of this item in a Tabloid. Have you no critical thought? Why would you ASSUME that it is true? Give your heads a shake. That’s exactly what I mean by its such an ugly world. Its ignorant people immediately jumping on the hate wagon at the slightest comment.

This is what happens when you turn other human beings into Untermenschen. They become completely expendable. I would’ve thought the holocaust would have proved this beyond doubt.

They’re furious? what about us? You go to New Jersey where Inherit lives and there are bloodthirsty rabbis on every street corner who’ll cut your gizzard out just as soon as look at you. and send it off to Israel to be devoured by the Settlers.
Now that Inherit is working I hope he got into some business that doesn’t involved used pancreases.

Trust me.What do you say?Oh I am an Antisemite now?Really?!!That is so nice of you sir!!You truly have turned a rascist shame into a badge of honor.I am delighted!Yesterday those who gased children were called Antisemites, today those who want to save them are called thus.All hail Zionism!!

So obviously, the focus is to condemn the revelation, and scream about why it wasn’t censored.
No concern about the facts.
The real “anti-semitism” is Israel’s limitless war of aggression against the native Palestinians, for sixty years now. The Palestinians, a “semitic” people, have been the target of a genocide, and Israel should be boycotted and cut off from trade until it recognizes the basic LEGAL human rights of the people it currently oppresses.
As for the organ trafficking, there is some evidence, that I don’t see here, indicating this is quite true. And basically, why is it so much worse to massacre Palestinian children and take their organs, rather than massacre Palestinian children and leave them lying in the dirt?
