Israel admitting forensic pathologists had illegally harvested organs from dead bodies, including Palestinians, without permission of their families certainly will not bode well with the world.
Israel looking for validation of their existence on the world stage may not get the sympathy it wants, when rumours were rife this was happening and denied by the Israeli government, now shocks both Israeli citizens and Palestinians alike.
World opinion may not be too kind, when it is not clear if these organs were used for the common good.
Were these organs used to save the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians? Were the organs sold for profit, or sent out of the country? These are questions that are being asked, with no answers forthcoming.
Many may wonder if the answers will be truthful, considering a decade of denials of organ harvesting in the first place.
One can be sure Iran and other countries looking to destroy one of the oldest cultures in the middle east may use this as one more excuse to carry out attacks against Israel.
In a time when many wish for world peace, this certainly will inflame many here and abroad, as some academics and students in Canadian Universities back east have already protested Israel's existence, Palestinian settlements and the Jewish society in general.
This video link is just one of the accusations previously made by Palestinians and refuted by the Israeli government. Certainly Israel admitting to this will make many wonder, can the Israeli government be trusted by it's citizens and the world?

Oh, stop it with the anti-Zionist muckraking. These were not taken from LIVE 'donors', as in China (non-Han political prisoners, Falun Gong practitioners), for use in organ-trafficking. Funny how the Islamic lobby (and Western human rights activists) avoid criticising China's brutal treatment of the Uighurs (Muslims), even when it DOES include organ harvesting and trafficking for sale. This antisemitic tunel vision is no accident. Muslim countries like Sudan have enmeshed themselves so thoroughly in Chinese trade (oil exploration, weapons imports) that they'd rather look for non-Chinese scapegoats than admit they sold their sould to the Devil.
As for the tissue (NOT 'organ') harvesting that took place, unscrupulous funeral homes and hospitals HERE have done this for years, FOR PROFIT...and nobody alleged some sort of Zionist Conspiracy. Kudos to the Israeli government for actually being candid in its admission of fault--could you imagine the same from, say, Saudi Arabia?
One evil can not be justification of another evil.
Cheers
Adam C. Sieracki,
You are truly one pathetic individual trying to defend the indefensible.
Just pathetic.
Can't wait till they admit "oh yes by the way, we also killed Palestinian kids on the way to school to harvest their organs for organ trafficking. But that was last week, its ancient history, its blood liable if you mention it ever again." "And oh yes, one other other tiny new news: That holocaust thing, we made it all up. 'But never again!'"
It should not be treated as a Israeli thing, but more a crime against humanity and a person's dignity after death. All governments have practiced unsettling acts without their citizens approval at one time of another, why would the Israeli government be any different?
Yeah when you allow organ harvezting for years and dismess it at as racism and then it comes out it's true of course it's going to backfire .
Dumbass jews
