  "Israel 'harvesting Palestinians' organs

   The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations (UN) says the Tel Aviv
   regime is harvesting the organs of Palestinians killed in clashes with
   Israeli forces in the occupied territories.


   Riyad Mansour said in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on
   Wednesday that the bodies of the Palestinians killed by Israeli forces
   are "returned with missing corneas and other organs, further confirming
   past reports about organ harvesting by the occupying power."


   "A medical examination conducted on bodies of Palestinians returned
   after they were killed by the occupying power found that they were
   missing organs," Mansour wrote in the letter.

   The Palestinian envoy further protested Israel's "persistent aggression
   against the Palestinian people" over the past month and the regime's
   "insistence on use of violent force and oppressive measures."

   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.

   US daily The New York Times also said in an August 2014 report that
   transplant brokers in Israel have pocketed enormous sums of money.
   Based on the Times analysis of major organ trafficking cases since 2000,
   Israelis have played a 'disproportionate role' in organ trafficking.


   The Palestinians whom Mansour was referring to were killed amid
   tensions in the occupied territories, which have dramatically escalated
   in recent weeks.

   The Israeli regime's imposition of restrictions in August on the entry
   of Palestinian worshipers to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East
   al-Quds (Jerusalem) has become the lightning rod for the surge of
   recent confrontations.

   According to the latest figures by the Palestinian Health Ministry, at
   least 74 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli
   forces since the beginning of October. At least 11 Israelis have also
   been killed during that period.

   The bodies of the Palestinian victims are most often held in Israeli
   custody for long periods of time before they are returned to relatives.


   


   "After returning the seized bodies of Palestinians killed by the
   occupying forces through October, and following medical examinations,
   it has been reported that the bodies were returned with missing corneas
   and other organs," PA envoy to the UN Riyad Mansour said, according to
   a report in Days of Palestine.
   
   Mansour added: "This confirms previous reports about Israeli occupation
   harvesting organs of Palestinian martyrs killed during clashes or in
   protests."
   
   Dany Danonm, Israeli representative to the UN sent a message to the UN
   Secretary General asking him to criticise Mansour's remarks, accusing
   him of being "anti-Semite."
   
   This is not the first time that it has been revealed that the Israeli
   occupation harvest human organs. Credible international sources and
   investigators have on several occasions times proved that.
   
   Nancy Scheper-Hughes, founder of Organ Watch, is the Chancellor's
   Professor of Medical Anthropology at the University of California
   Berkeley, has described "Israel" at the "top of a list of countries
   involved in human organs trafficking. "It [Israel] has tentacles
   reaching out worldwide," she said.
   
   Scheper-Hughes, the founder of Organ Watch, said: "Israeli organ
   traffickers have a pyramid system at work that's awesome...they have
   brokers everywhere, bank accounts everywhere; they've got recruiters,
   they've got translators, they've got travel agents who set up the
   visas."
   
   She added: "Israeli traffickers have utilised people from diverse
   locations—the West Bank and Gaza, the Philippines and Eastern Europe."
   
   In a subcommittee testimony Scheper-Hughes stated: "Human rights groups
   in the West Bank complained to me of tissue and organs stealing of
   slain Palestinians by Israeli pathologists at the national Israeli
   legal medical institute in Tel Aviv."
