Israeli Organ Harvesting Scandal Revealed

by Israeli Apartheid
In news from Israel, it was acknowledged Wednesday that Israeli authorities harvested organs from dead bodies for transplant purposes in the 1990s. Organs from Palestinians, Israelis and foreign workers were stolen without permission from relatives of the deceased. Over the weekend, an Israeli TV station aired an interview with the former head of a state-run forensic lab who openly described harvesting corneas, heart valves, skin and bone.
