Belgian official: Israel steals organs of Palestinian kids
Robrecht Vanderbeeken, the cultural secretary of Belgium’s ACOD trade union
Press TV – October 21, 2018
A Belgian official’s remarks that Israel steals the organs of Palestinian children, whom it kills, have made headlines again after the news website which published them decided to stick to the story.
Robrecht Vanderbeeken, the cultural secretary of Belgium’s ACOD trade union and a philosophy of science scholar, had made the comments back in August in a column published by Belgian website De Wereld Morgen.
The population of the Gaza Strip is being “starved to death, poisoned, and children are kidnapped and murdered for their organs,” he wrote then.
The website recently received a complaint by Belgian watchdog, the Interfederal Center for Equal Opportunities, over the story.
De Wereld Morgen, however, stuck to the assertion that Israel “kidnapped” and “murdered” Palestinian children and used organs belonging to the Palestinians its forces killed.
In November 2015, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations said Israel harvested the organs of the Palestinians it killed.
In a letter to the UN secretary general, Riyad Mansour said the bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces “were returned with missing corneas and other organs, further confirming past reports about organ harvesting by the occupying power.”
The New York Times also said in an August 2014 report that transplant brokers in Israel had pocketed enormous sums of money. Based on the newspaper’s analysis of major organ trafficking cases since 2000, Israelis had played a “disproportionate role” in organ trafficking.
The issue of organ theft by Israel was first brought to the fore in a report published by Sweden’s most highly-circulated daily Aftonbladet in 2009.
Back in 2000, Dr. Yehuda Hiss, the former head of Israel’s forensic institute, divulged that Israeli pathologists at the institute would harvest skin, corneas, heart valves, and bones from the bodies of Palestinians and others often without permission from relatives.
The interview was, however, released no later than 2009 by Nancy Scheper-Hughes, a professor of anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley, who had conducted it as part of her investigation into the institute, in response to a row created between Israel and Sweden over Aftonbladet’s report.

Is Israel Uniquely Evil?
By Irfan Chowdhury | Palestine Chronicle | July 18, 2020
… Israel has been carrying out the longest-running military occupation in modern history and the longest-running siege in modern history. These two facts alone render Israel unique in terms of the scope of its brutality and criminality.
There are other respects in which Israel stands out from other countries in its use of terror and violence; for example, it is one of the most aggressive countries in the world, having waged wars of aggression against Lebanon in 1978, 1982, 1993, 1996 and 2006, and against Gaza in 2004, 2006, 2008/9, 2012 and 2014, killing huge numbers of civilians in the process (all while issuing threats and carrying out various covert attacks against Iran, which are all in violation of the UN Charter). … continue

And here I was thinking that the Zios’ routine practice of killing Palestinian children was prompted by nothing more than their natural desire to cleanse the Holy Land of all those grunting subhuman goyim. Turns out that all along there’s been a profit motive as well.

You’re right, Brian, but it’s not only America’s heart, and I’ll continue to remind you of that. The uncomfortable truth is that we (the world) are ALL Palestinians now.

The effort to disprove Israeli ghoulish organ thievery may be operative, in its subtle form of an utter lack of attention by the main stream media, that this again-reported criminal practice goes without notice.
This practice has been documented too many times to be unfounded.
The same goes for the utter lack of attention to the murders by Israel of journalists.
The same goes for the utter lack of attention to the murders of Palestinians.
The same goes for the utter lack of attention to the imprisonment of Palestinians for any activity to better their plight by this racist, genocidal and conquest by military regime.
To ignore, to condone and to support Israel is complicity in its crimes.
Those of conscience and morality will not do so.
