Cannibalism

If true, the report of Israeli organ harvesting from Palestinian captives and killed is simply horrifying. It would be a form of cannibalism. Read the full article here.

Last week Sweden’s largest daily newspaper published an article containing
shocking material: testimony and circumstantial evidence indicating that
Israelis may have been harvesting internal organs from Palestinian prisoners
without consent for many years. Worse yet, some of the information
reported in the article suggests that in some instances Palestinians may have
been captured with this macabre purpose in mind.

In the article, “Our sons plundered for their organs,” veteran
journalist Donald Bostrom writes that Palestinians “harbor strong suspicions
against Israel for seizing young men and having them serve as the country’s
organ reserve – a very serious accusation, with enough question marks to
motivate the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to start an investigation
about possible war crimes.”

An army of Israeli officials and apologists immediately went into high
gear, calling both Bostrom and the newspaper’s editors “anti-Semitic.” The
Israeli foreign minister was reportedly “aghast” and termed it “a demonizing
piece of blood libel.” An Israeli official called it “hate porn.”
