GHOULS: Israel Illegally Stealing Body Parts From Murdered Gazans
Israel has a long, grotesque history of illegal organ harvest of their victims and trade in the body parts.
BE CLEAR: Along with the many, many other war crimes carried out by Israel, the United States is now fully participating in the theft of human organs.

This entire update by American Jewish journalist Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone provides a thorough and powerful Friday evening update on the U.S./Israel genocidal campaign in Gaza, but I urge you to at least listen to the opening comments by Max reporting on the illegal, ghoulish harvesting of organs from bodies of murdered and mutilated Gazans returned by Israel.
Apparently, this has long been standard operating procedure by the Israeli Defense Force and Israeli officials, adding to an already revolting list of war crimes. In the third story below you will find a report going back to 2009 — 14 years ago — on the practice. Truly, in one of the most nauseating ironies of history, it is the stuff of Nazi Germany.
As with all of the many daily war crimes carried out by Israel in Gaza, we Americans must remember that none of them could be happening without the ongoing financial, military, intelligence collaboration and diplomatic cover of the United States. Pres. Biden, nearly every member of congress (completely owned by Zionist lobby groups), the State Department and the United States War Department are all complicit in these crimes.As enablers of the Israeli fascist military campaign in Gaza we — the U.S. — are the primary war criminals. Without our subsidies, Israel could not carry out their genocidal campaign in Gaza, or their illegal and immoral theft of body organs.
Israel Demolishes Gaza Cemeteries, Steals Dead Bodies & Organs Of Palestinians
The Israeli army dug up several graves in Al-Faluga cemetery and stole dead bodies—believed to belong to Palestinian activists.
Euro-Med Monitor (12/14/23)
Geneva - The Israeli army has repeatedly targeted several cemeteries in the Gaza Strip, leaving widespread destruction, vandalising some graves, and stealing dead bodies, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on Thursday.
According to Euro-Med Monitor field documentation, Israel’s army has targeted the majority of cemeteries in the Gaza Strip, including Al-Falujah cemetery in the northern Gaza Strip, Ali bin Marwan, Sheikh Radwan, Al-Shuhada, and Sheikh Shaaban cemeteries, in addition to St. Porphyrius Church cemetery in Gaza City and Al-Shuhada cemetery in the northern town of Beit Lahia, destroying dozens of graves in utter disregard for the sanctity of the dead.
Large holes have been created inside these cemeteries as a result of frequent Israeli attacks, engulfing dozens of graves. The remains of some dead bodies have been scattered or disappeared, while dozens of graves remain seriously damaged.
Digging up graves
Euro-Med Monitor received reports confirming that the Israeli army dug up several graves in Al-Faluga cemetery and stole dead bodies—believed to belong to Palestinian activists—amid fears that their organs might be stolen.
Given the disgusting and unjustifiable international complicity, Euro-Med emphasised that Israel has not spared even the dead in its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which started on 7 October.
Israel systematically violates the sanctity of the dead and of cemeteries, the human rights organisation said, in flagrant violation of the principles of international humanitarian law and the rules of war in relation to the protection of cemeteries during armed conflicts.
Rule 115 of customary international humanitarian law states: “The dead must be disposed of in a respectful manner and their graves respected and properly maintained.” Article (130) of the Geneva Convention of 1949 also states that graves must be respected, properly maintained, and marked in such a way that they can always be recognised.
120 new mass graves
According to Euro-Med Monitor, more than 120 mass graves were recently established across the Gaza Strip to bury those killed in Israel’s ongoing genocide of Gazans, given the difficulty of accessing the main and regular cemeteries and the non-stop Israeli attacks.
Families in the Gaza Strip have resorted to creating random mass graves in residential neighbourhoods, courtyards, roads, wedding halls, and stadiums. More than 120 of these mass graves have been established so far.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reiterated that Israel—like any other country—must abide by the principles of international law, which stipulate that the dead must be respected and protected during armed conflicts, and that the parties involved must take all reasonable steps to prevent the confiscation and dismemberment of the dead bodies.
Israel Continues Long Pattern Of Stealing Organs From Dead Gazans
“It is clear that the features of those killed had changed greatly in a clear indication that the Israeli occupation had stolen vital organs from them.”

On Tuesday, Israel handed over 80 Palestinian bodies to authorities in Gaza at the Karam Abu Salem border crossing.
Upon further investigation, the Gaza media office accused Israel of stealing organs from the deceased bodies, whose identities remain unknown. According to Hamas, the bodies were taken “from different areas of the Gaza Strip.”
“The media office denounces in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation army’s disdain for the dignity of the bodies of our 80 martyrs that Israel had stolen during its genocidal war because it delivered them mutilated,” a statement said.
“After examining the bodies, it is clear that the features of those killed had changed greatly in a clear indication that the Israeli occupation had stolen vital organs from them,” the statement continued.
The office, who is calling for an independent international investigation, also highlighted that this is not the first time Israel has “mutilated” Palestinian bodies in Gaza.
“Israel has previously exhumed graves in Jabalia and stole some of the bodies in addition to the fact that it still has dozens of bodies from the Gaza Strip in its possession,” it said.
Israel has also admitted that their pathologists in the past have harvested organs from dead Palestinians and others without the consent of their families.
2009: Doctor Admits Israeli Pathologists Stole Organs From Palestinian Dead

The Guardian (12/21/2009)
Israel has admitted pathologists harvested organs from dead Palestinians, and others, without the consent of their families – a practice it said ended in the 1990s – it emerged at the weekend.
The admission, by the former head of the country's forensic institute, followed a furious row prompted by a Swedish newspaper reporting that Israel was killing Palestinians in order to use their organs – a charge that Israel denied and called "antisemitic".
The revelation, in a television documentary, is likely to generate anger in the Arab and Muslim world and reinforce sinister stereotypes of Israel and its attitude to Palestinians. Iran's state-run Press TV tonight reported the story, illustrated with photographs of dead or badly injured Palestinians.
Ahmed Tibi, an Israeli Arab MP, said the report incriminated the Israeli army.
The story emerged in an interview with Dr Yehuda Hiss, former head of the Abu Kabir forensic institute near Tel Aviv. The interview was conducted in 2000 by an American academic who released it because of the row between Israel and Sweden over a report in the Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet.
Channel 2 TV reported that in the 1990s, specialists at Abu Kabir harvested skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians and foreign workers, often without permission from relatives. …
CALLING ALL SUBSTACKERS! Use The Right Language: AMERICAN War Crimes & AMERICAN Genocide In Gaza
Joe Biden could stop the Gaza massacre with a phone call. As long as we do nothing and provide the weapons, WE are the war criminals -- the terrorists -- in Gaza.
Well, that's consistent with the whole "human animals" narrative we hear all the time from Israelis. Are we supposed to think it's all good so long as they don't use Palestinian skin to make lamp shades?
This is the sickest thing imaginable... But why am I not surprised? American prisoners make great "organ donors", so why not create a giant concentration camp in Gaza and then kill off all the people and harvest their organs and sell them on the black market. Maybe this is how Kissinger lived to be 100?
Once we start uncovering Israeli war crimes, you're bound to find more...and more...and more...
