Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on Sunday it had “concerns” about possible organ theft from Palestinian corpses, following reports by medical professionals in Gaza who examined some bodies after they were released by Israel.

The NGO claimed it has documented Israeli forces confiscating dozens of dead bodies from the al-Shifa and Indonesian hospitals in northern Gaza, alongside others in the south.

Medical professionals reportedly found vital organs, such as livers, kidneys and hearts, alongside cochleas and corneas, were missing, which the Euro-Med Monitor called “evidence” of potential organ theft.

They also claimed Israel exhumed and confiscated corpses from a mass grave that was dug more than 10 days ago in a courtyard at al-Shifa.

Israel has previously denied harvesting organs from dead Palestinians without the consent of families, calling such accusations “antisemitic”.

    I really detest shit like this, it just gives ammo for defense for horrible people/groups/states. There’s actual horrible crimes done by Israel that should be covered and investigated and punished for. Making shit up allows them to deflect with “Well if the harvesting organs is fake, bombing a hospital must be too!”

    Same for Russia, USSR, China, NATO/America, Republicans, Democrats, and so on. When here’s actual horrible things to criticize and use for proof, making shit up doesn’t help anyone but those people who already have an easy time getting away with horrid shit.

      The hospital bombong was literally Hamas hitting their own hospital and instantly blaming Israel with 50x the real death count. That too is a very bad example.

        While some evidence points to Islamic Jihad (which was the party accused, not Hamas), there’s no solid evidence either way, although it seems likely to be a misfire from Islamic Jihad. This is of course only one of several hospitals that has been bombed since by Israel.
