One of the preposterous charges made against Israel by the Palestinians is that the Jewish state “harvests the organs” from dead Palestinians. This is a variant on the medieval blood libel that accused Jews of using the blood of Christian children in making matzos. Think of Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, and William of Norwich — two children whose deaths were falsely attributed to Jews wanting to use their blood, which led to pogroms being unleashed against local Jewry in medieval England. But the Palestinian charge was apparently not preposterous enough for the Washington Post, which reported the charge as if it could possibly true, instead of holding it up as an absurd antisemitic libel.
Robert Spencer wrote about this briefly here, and more on the Washington Post’s reporting on the “IDF harvests Palestinian Organs” story can be found here: “Washington Post Reprints Depraved Claim that Israel Steals Palestinian Organs,” by Sean Durns, Algemeiner, January 10, 2024:
…The Washington Post prides itself on “courageous journalism” and speaking “truth to power,” but a recent report promoted an age-old antisemitic canard. The Dec. 26, 2023, dispatch, “The World Wants a Respite for Gaza. Israel Vows to Keep on Fighting,” regurgitated the claim that Jews steal organs of non-Jews.
As CAMERA’s Ricki Hollander has documented, such “blood libels and conspiracy theories have played a tragic role in Jewish history” and are responsible for inciting anti-Jewish violence. And now you can find them printed in the pages of The Washington Post.

I’m waiting for the WaPo to repeat claims that “negroes are lazy” or “Chinese are inscrutable”. But perhaps they feel most racist stereotypes should be discarded. Except, you know, the Jew ones.
Why would the Israelis harvest organs from “Palestinians”? First of all, there are no “Palestinians”, only a ragtag bunch of expatriate Arabs from Jordan, Egypt and Saudi
Arabia.
Secondly, once the organs were harvested, what would be the purpose? Transplants are kind of out of the question, and they certainly could not be converted into any kind of merchantable pet food.
Organs go well with a nice chianti. /sarc
Propaganda and the LCD mobs go well together.
Ping
I take it from this that Hamas gets money from the Chinese to act as their organ harvesting agents.
Maybe the Washington Post and New York Times gets money from the Chinese as well.

Actually, it “harks back” to the 1990’s, a time that the Israeli military has admitted the practice of harvesting human organs took place.
“There has never been a proven case of organ-harvesting by the IDF in the entire history of Israel.”
This one’s a whopper. See below.
Israel has admitted that it harvested human organs in the 1990’s - from Israeli soldiers, Israeli civilians, and Palestinians. The reason this subject is again rearing it’s ugly head is because in the current conflict Israel holds on to Palestinian dead bodies. It is the only country in the world that has implemented a policy of confiscation of remains. This practice is against international law.

Israel admitted to harvesting organs from dead bodies in the 1990s.
The admission came after the release of a 2000 interview with Dr. Yehuda Hiss, who was the head of Israel’s L. Greenberg Forensic Institute in Abu Kabir, The Associated Press reported.
Hiss told an American academic in the interview, parts of which were broadcast on Israel’s Channel 2 over the weekend, that the institute used corneas from bodies, including Israeli soldiers, Palestinians and foreign workers. Channel 2’s report said that corneas, heart valves, skin and bones were used from the corpses without families’ permission.
The scholar released the interview following a report in a Swedish newspaper that Israel was harvesting the organs of Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers, an accusation that Israeli officials have denied, AP reported.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to Channel 2 that the organs were used, but stressed that the practice stopped a decade ago.

In her book, Over Their Dead Bodies, Israeli doctor Meira Weiss claimed organs were taken from dead Palestinians between 1996 and 2002 and used in medical research at Israeli universities and transplanted into Israeli patients’ bodies.
A controversial Israeli television investigation in 2014 included confessions from high-ranking officials that skin was taken from the bodies of dead Palestinians and African workers to treat Israelis, such as soldiers with burn injuries.
