israel Stealing of Organs is the act of israeli forensic pathologists harvesting organs from dead bodies, including Palestinians, without permission of their families[1], which is an accusation that was validated and admitted by israel.[2]

The story emerged in an interview with Dr Yehuda Hiss, conducted by Nancy Scheper-Hughes, former head of the Abu Kabir forensic institute near Tel Aviv. The interview was conducted in 2000 and released in 2009 because of the row between Israel and Sweden over a report in the Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet[3].

israel's Channel 2 TV reported that in the 1990s, specialists at Abu Kabir harvested skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians and foreign workers, often without permission from relatives[4].

Incriminating

Ahmed Teibi, a member of the israeli Knesset and head of the Arab nationalist Party, insists that the new evidence incriminates the israeli army and government.[5]
