The antisemitic component here does not consist in stating a well-stablished fact (i.e. the Tsahal steals the organs of abducted Palestinians before returning their bodies back to the family) but in linking this to a trafficking network in the US, somehow implying that diaspora Jews are complicit with it. There is no evidence whatsoever pointing to such a link.

Look, you can’t recover organs from a corpse!

Hospitals can only recover organs from brain-dead donors on life support. Pick up a phone and ask a surgeon.

Stealing organs or misrepresenting donor’s intent is a reflection of the demand for transplant surgeries in the United States. As awful as the allegations in the story, the nexus of the problem is the organ allocation system currently used in the United States.

If you live in one of the 38 states that has adopted the 2006 Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, it is presumed that you are an organ donor unless they can find information contrary to their assumptions. This change was made expressly to increase the supply of organs, tissue and body parts so that the $20 Billion in annual revenues for organ related medical services could keep growing.

With organ transplant programs bringing fame, prestige and enormous profits, transplant centers in the United States don’t have much of an incentive to ask too many questions about how the organ arrived at their doorstep. A whole body donation is worth $1 to $5 million to a transplant center, its doctors, tissue banks and big pharma.

Brain death and donation after cardiac arrest for as little as 75 seconds is becoming the standard in hospitals to start the organ harvesting process.

Removing your name from any list or erasing your consent from your driver’s license means absolutely nothing under the 2006 version of the act.

Even if you have a written Advance Healthcare Directive that forbids the use of machines to keep your body alive, they can do so as long as they are talking to your family to give consent to start the organ harvesting procedure.

If you don’t express a preference on organ harvesting, your family has to make the decision. Organ Procurement Organizations and Tissue Banks have to follow your instructions if you register your preferences with a known donor registry.

Unfortunately, no state that has adopted the 2006 UAGA has a state donor registry that allows you to register as a “no” or allows donation on condition of just compensation to your family or estate.

If you are one of the estimated 10% of Americans who does not support organ harvesting, you can register your objection and explore your options under the law at http://www.DoNotTransplant.com.

Here is evidence that US administration, A ZIONIST PUPPET since the presidency of Bill Clinton is a proxy. It is the time for those who are fixed only on ‘US IMPERIALISM’ to wake up and see the reality. No country in the world accepts a racist, terrorist, apartheid entity to write the foreign policy of that country to serve the interest of a foreign entity. If that was acceptable then we never would have seen protest and revolution around the world. If the citizens of that country are impotent and foolish enough to let this happens and take no action then they will be viewed as fool and people think they deserve to be ruled by a foreign entity. No one respects them, especially when this passive behavior and their cooperation with the corrupt elite is harming groups far away to expand the interest of this group and not the interest of American people.
You must be pretty ignorant and impotent to let your treasure to be used for the expansion of power of a corrupt elite in the WH, the Senate, Congress, and the Pentagon who are let by international Zionism. As Haaretz reports:

[The Obama Administration will put forth new peace initiatives only if Israel wants it to, said Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman in his first comprehensive interview on foreign policy since taking office.

"Believe me, America accepts all our decisions," Lieberman told the Russian daily Moskovskiy Komosolets.]

Believe me, this kind of ‘nation’ has no respect around the world and you cannot use an excuse such as ‘we have no power’ to justify your cooperation with killing and torturing of millions of people in faraway places to continue your meager existence. You may kill each other as much as you wish and no one will interferes in your conduct, but when this passive behavior leads to the killing of our children, our sons and daughters every day by your WMD, while you are shopping at the mall to support a corrupt and broken economic system that values $$$$ over the lives of billions of people around the world to maintain the WMD, then it is our DUTY to warn you, if you wish to stay part of the human race, that enough is enough. Your support of a corrupt system with your tax $$$$$$$ and your silence against war crimes in order to expand elite ‘cleavage culture’ will be attacked.

She also writes of this mysterious Scottish death in her article on
http://www.counterpunch.org/weir08282009.html
Israeli Organ Harvesting
There has been little in the media. She is a reputable author and the article is well researched and provided with references. Surely an impartial international medical enquiry has to be held into this matter. It is not good enough, however the death occurred, for the relatives to receive back their loved one’s body with the cavities filled with stuffing and no further explanation. It is a ghastly topic we are discussing.

‘In 1998 a Scot named Alisdair Sinclair died under questionable circumstances while in Israeli custody at Ben Gurion airport.

His family was informed of the death and, according to a report in J Weekly, “…told they had three weeks to come up with about $4,900 to fly Sinclair’s corpse home. [Alisdair’s brother] says the Israelis seemed to be pushing a different option: burying Sinclair in a Christian cemetery in Israel, at a cost of about $1,300.”

The family scraped up the money, brought the body home, and had an autopsy performed at the University of Glasgow. It turned out that Alisdair’s heart and a tiny throat bone were missing. At this point the British Embassy filed a complaint with Israel.

The J report states:

“A heart said to be Sinclair’s was subsequently repatriated to Britain, free of charge. James wanted the [Israeli] Forensic Institute to pay for a DNA test to confirm that this heart was indeed their brother’s, but the Institute’s director, Professor Jehuda Hiss refused, citing the prohibitive cost, estimated by some sources at $1,500.”

Despite repeated requests from the British Embassy for the Israeli pathologist’s and police reports, Israeli officials refused to release either. (5,6,7)’

Hmmmmmm, I wonder if there is a precedent here…

Alison Weir – Counter Punch August 28-30, 2009

Israel’s first heart transplant

Israel’s very first, historic heart transplant used a heart removed from a living patient without consent or consulting his family.

In December 1968 a man named Avraham Sadegat (the New York Times seems to give his name as A Savgat) (2) died two days after a stroke, even though his family had been told he was “doing well.”

After initially refusing to release his body, the Israeli hospital where he was being treated finally turned the man’s body over to his family. They discovered that his upper body was wrapped in bandages; an odd situation, they felt, for someone who had suffered a stroke.

When they removed the bandages, they discovered that the chest cavity was stuffed with bandages, and the heart was missing.

During this time, the headline-making Israeli heart transplant had occurred. After their initial shock, the man’s wife and brother began to put the two events together and demanded answers.

The hospital at first denied that Sadegat’s heart had been used in the headline-making transplant, but the family raised a media storm and eventually applied to three cabinet ministers. Finally, weeks later and after the family had signed a document promising not to sue, the hospital admitted that Sadagat’s heart had been used.

The hospital explained that it had abided by Israeli law, which allowed organs to be harvested without the family’s consent. (3) (The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime includes the extraction of organs in its definition of human exploitation.)

Indications that the removal of Sadagat’s heart was the actual cause of death went unaddressed.

For those who want more information on organ stealing from Palestinians by the zionists and organ trafficking , please read the following article.

In 2007 Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper reported that two men confessed to persuading “Arabs from the Galilee and central Israel who were developmentally challenged or mentally ill to agree to have a kidney removed for payment.” They then would refuse to pay them.

After Googling this business, which has been pretty well suppressed here in Australia (while the Chinese practice of removing the organs of executed criminals is being highlighted, as part of the current Sinophobia hysteria [led, incidentally by local Rightwing Jews])and noting the usual febrile hysteria and rage of the Judeofascists (invariably, I find, a sign that they have something to hide) I’ve begun to smell a great, big, Zionist rat.
While I don’t doubt that certain Israelis are eminently capable of such atrocities and have committed worse in the past, scores of times, the evidence here is thin. But it has given the Judeofascists a chance to screech ‘anti-Semite’, ‘blood libel’ and, of course, ‘Holocaust’, and bury the ongoing , everyday, undeniable atrocities that the Palestinians are subject to. Netanyahu’s refusal to cease Judaic colonial expansion in the Occupied Territories. Obama’s despicable ‘peace plan’ that ‘grants’ a Palestinian state as electronic zoo, that imposes brutal and humiliating provisions on the Palestinians but demands nothing of the Judaic Herrenvolk, the ongoing brutal siege of Gaza, Israel’s increasingly belligerent threats against Iran (a war crime itself)the call for a peaceable state that has fulfilled all its IAEA obligations to be ‘hit’ by brutal sanctions, on the demand of the planet’s not-so-secret-anymore rulers, the Zionist elect etc, all forgotten as another contrived hysteria over ‘anti-Semitism’ rages.
This reminds me greatly of a similar case that occurred here during Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza. As public anger grew at the sheer barbarity of it all, the Melbourne broadsheet ‘The Age’, normally grovellingly obsequious to the Chosen People (although still abused and defamed by the Judeofascist ultras because it occasionally hints that the Palestinians might be semi-human, after all)suddenly published a nasty anti-Semitic article, by one of its business columnists. It was stupid, vulgar stuff, libeling all Jews as greedy, loudmouthed, bullying, ie just the sort of racialist stereotyping so typical of anti-Arab, Islamophobic hatemongering that our local Israelites lead the field in here. The columnist in question had never been noted for ‘anti-Semitism’ in the past. His speciality had been , in my opinion at least,snide and arrogant anti-Chinese and anti-Asian observations.
Well, of course, Gaza was forgotten in a trice. The question now was ‘anti-Semitism’, ‘The oldest hatred of them all’ as they say with typically narcissitic self-absorption. As the bombs rained down in Gaza, ‘The Age’ obediently turned the subject to anti-Semitism, the Holocaust (always so useful at such times, and mobilised with such cynical aplomb and the ‘Arabs’ refusal to recognise (all together now!) ‘Israel’s Right to Exist’.
Am I being too cynical, or does this smell of a Mossad set-up? The better to bully and intimidate any who dare support the Palestinians, for an entire European country, Sweden, to be targeted so that the Zionazis can display their power, to prepare the Western public for the coming bloodbath in Iran and for the imposition of a ‘peace settlement’ on the Palestinians that will make the Bantustan system look idyllic. Never to forget, however, that there are Israelis absolutely prepared to act in this way-it’s just that I doubt that even they are so arrogant (and sloppy) as to leave any evidence lying around, unless they intended to do so.

If this is true, this has to be about the most immoral thing I have ever heard of one set of people doing to another.

The question is, how can any of us help to stop this type of stuff. Seems like our plates are full of disgust these days. I hardly know where to start. Writing congress people has done nothing, trying to start discussions with other people in my community is basically impossible. Nobody seems to either know anything or they dismiss the facts. Or they appear bored.

What can people do? I am at a loss of this question. This question has been with me the last eight years and I still have not discovered any way an individual can help. Its all so overwhelming.

Barack Hussein Obama’s June 4th speech in Cairo was awaited with keen anticipation by a global population of 1.3 billion Muslims outraged at the abuse that Zionism has long inflicted on its neighbors—with U.S. support. Ten weeks have since passed. The potentially positive impact of his remarks was immediately offset when he appeared the next day at the Buchenwald death camp in Germany. The timing of that Holocaust photo-op resolved all doubts about who stage-manages this presidency.
Media attention immediately shifted back to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the lead-up to the Cairo speech, Obama’s White House handlers enabled this right-winger to proclaim—from the White House—that peace with the Palestinians ranked a distant second to Tel Aviv’s concerns about Iran. Soon after the Cairo speech, Netanyahu reluctantly referenced a “two state solution”—though only under duress from Middle East envoy George Mitchell. Obama quickly portrayed as an “important step forward” this grudging referral to an agreed-to strategy.
In truth, Netanyahu announced several giant steps backward. Rather than agree to negotiate a two state solution, he set preconditions certain to preclude two states, leaving nothing to negotiate. Again negating the potentially positive impact from Cairo, Obama praised the Israeli leader even as he insisted that Palestinians recognize Israel as a “Jewish state” where Jerusalem as “Israel’s capital will remain united.”
Netanyahu also insisted on Israel’s right to colonize even more Palestinian land by expanding the very settlements destined to preclude a viable Palestinian state. By applauding this defiant speech, Obama inflamed the very conditions that have precluded peace in the Middle East for more than six decades. In the ensuing ten weeks, Netanyahu’s stance has only further hardened—with Obama’s tacit approval.
Anticipating pressure to negotiate in good faith, Tel Aviv opened a three-front assault. First, Foreign Minister Avignor Lieberman (from Moldova) began talks in Moscow. By conducting diplomacy in fluent Russian, he showed that Israel could—and would—turn elsewhere for the “special relationship” that Tel Aviv has long enjoyed with the U.S.
Second, the Israel lobby opened a domestic assault on Obama by announcing, “Jewish leaders are deeply troubled by his recent Middle East initiatives.” The lobby also reminded Obama, a political product of Ashkenazi funding from West Side Chicago, just where his presidential bread is buttered.
Third, as soon as Middle East envoy George Mitchell opened talks with Damascus, the first negotiations since the U.S. withdrew its ambassador in 2005, Netanyahu gave a speech on Syria in which he made no mention of the Golan Heights (seized during Israel’s preemptive 1967 war) while including terms certain to ensure that peace with Syria would also remain beyond reach.
Yet again the Obama team appeased the Israeli leader. With no need to cite the high-profile Holocaust photo-op, the official Syrian newspaper noted simply, “This is the principle that always guides Israel when approaching the Zionist-Arab conflict. The Israelis see themselves as victims rather than the aggressor.”
By again failing to stand up to the Zionist state and its extensive lobby in the U.S., Obama once again enabled the very conduct that most endangers U.S. national security. While his words in Cairo promised a “new beginning,” his actions both before and after that speech signaled business-as-usual.
The costs of this entangled alliance in blood, treasure and hard-earned credibility are known. By his concessions to the Israel lobby and by his appeasing an extremist minority at the expense of the majority, Barack Obama INVITES A CHARGE OF TREASON.

It is easy to say that for you. Iranian people and people of the region are suffering for a long time. Children are gunned down every day. Iraq is destroyed and your ambassador to Iraq warned people of Iran in Charlie Rose that America is not leaving Iraq period. They are going to stay forever. Hundreds of people are killed by bombs that your government is planted every day directly or through their proxy such as Saudi Arabia. This month the US and its proxy have killed hundreds of People in Iraq alone. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Now, Israel wants Iran destroyed totally like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Sudan. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), issued in November 2007 clarified that Iran has no weapons program. Yet, Israel is forcing
YOUR PUPPET GOVERMENT to ‘stop’ Iran otherwise must be bombed like Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and other country. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

Jewish lobby has pressured Obama, the puppet, to bring gasoline sanction against Iran if Iran does not stop enrichment program under NPT, an International program. To make sure that Obama is following Israel order, Israel is linking Iran legal program to Israel illegal settlement, and guess…. Obama, your puppet president agrees. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? This is declaration of WAR
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
Israel has done most of the settlement building and is willing to postpone it for a while to fool Obama and bring him on board for tightening the screw on Iran. Guess…. Obama has followed the order again. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

It is easy for you to say your rant, however, it is different for the people of the region to watch your cooperation with war criminals because MAJORITY OF YOU BENEFITS FROM MASSACRE OF OTHER
GROUP AND DESTRUCTION OF THEIR LIVES AND COUNTRIES.
DO SOMETHING N O W.

FUCK OBAMA, FUCK ISREAL. NO ONE CAN LIVE UNDER THIS CONDITION WHERE ISRAEL, A RACIST AND TERRORIST ENTITY TELLS OTHERS WHAT TO DO.
FUCK AMERICA AND FUCK AMERIFCANS WHO ACCEPT A ZIONST
PUPPET WITH STAR OF D A V I D AROUND HIS FUCKING NECK IN THE WH, TO KILL MULIMS EVERY DAY AND FORCE ECONOMIC SANCTION ON IRAN BY JEWISH LOBBY BECAUSE ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT IRAN TO HAVE ITS LEGAL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM.

ALL IRANINS AND PEOPLE OF THE REGION SHOULD OFFER THEIR MIDDLE FINGERS TO OBAMA AND ZIONIST JEWS AND TELL THEM GET LOST SINCE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS FED UP WITH THESE WAR CRIMINALS. AMERICANS AND ZIONISTS MUST GET OUT OF OUR REGION N O W.

As long as Americans stayed as foolish as they are and get screwed from all sides by Jewish Lobby and their puppet Barack Obama nothing is going to be changed.

People of the region must be united against these arrogant and stupid people and be ready to eliminate them all from our region by froce if they refuse to get out immediately. They are killing our children in large numbers while fucking Americans and the resident of WH rubbing each other behind and giving large party to celebrate dead of millions of our people and destruction of our civilization and societies . We are fed up with you bast*rd and your silence and inactivity to do anything. You should go out and set fire on the WH, pentagon, senate, and congress or you will be damned and hated as long as human lives. How stupid one can get. Shame on you all.

I guess thin fu*king ‘two state solution’ is the one that some stupid Americans are longing for. WE NEVER ACCEPT IT. GET OUT EDIOT.
