“""Turkey arrests Israeli suspected of organ trafficking" ....
This was a story from 2 years ago ... what's your point?

Did you happen to see this from the same author as the current story when she testified before Congress ?

"Affluent Palestinians from the West Bank also travel in search of transplants with purchased kidneys to Baghdad, Iraq, where several medical centers cater to transplant tourists from elsewhere in the Arab world. The kidney sellers in Iraq, I was told by one Palestinian kidney transplant patient in March 2001, are mostly young men, foreign workers from Jordan, and poor Iraqis who are housed in a special wing of each hospital in dorms that could be called "kidney motels", while they wait for the blood and cross-matching tests that will turn them into the day’s "winner" of the kidney lottery. In Iraq the transplant package, complete with pre- and post-operative care and with fully equipped modern apartments provided in the hospital complex for accompanying relatives, is only $20,000, up, we were told, from only $10,000 several years ago. In fact, it was the appearance of these successful transplanted Palestinians in the after care clinic of Hadassah hospital that prompted Jewish patients to pursue alternative transplant options for themselves.

“"There you go again" with your attempt to change the subject. Anything goes when it comes to defending Israel's actions, even implicitly comparing the actions of illegal organ traffickers in Turkey with organ snatching by the Israeli government!!”

“All sides of WHAT story ????

That;t the whole point.
This story was supposedly put out because of another story that appeared in Sweden.
And yet, this story has absoultely NOTHING to do with the Swedish story.

The Swedish NON story seems to be nothing more then an excuse to put out yet another story almost a decade old.

What questions do you need answered? There was an issue in the 1990's about Israeli and Palestinian dead interned at a mortuary. Israelis and Palestinians alike complained. The mortuary personnel thought they had consent to harvest corneas and skin etc form relatives of the dead. This was regarding ISRAELS and PALESTINIANS and this is from the 1990's.

So now the story is aired supposedly because there was some story that the IDFwas deliberately killing Palestinians in Gaza to harvest their body organs??

Hello ... earth to rational people”

“As a "leftist," I'm surprised anyone still believes the term is relevant. It's like calling Obama a leftist. This country has gone so far right it thinks a right-leaning moderate was "the most liberal member of the Senate."

It's you faux libertarians with your paint-ball wars in the woods and your tea-bagging fantasies of armed uprisings on behalf of the second amendment who are setting the conditions for the National Security State to impose complete martial control.

You think you're so smart, tell us who rigged WTC 1, 2 and 7 with thermite and cheered as the buildings were pulled? Tell as about the intelligence service who actually penetrated the operation, prepared the buildings for maximum PR effect, insurance claims, stock sales and then facilitate the final runs?

“First ... the basis of this story was:

"The interview was conducted in 2000 by an American academic, who released it because of a huge controversy last summer over an allegation by a Swedish newspaper that Israel was killing Palestinians in order to harvest their organs. Israel hotly denied the charge"

So she says

What does this story have to do with the Swedish story ?

The Swedish story was about IDF soldiers deliberately killing Palestinians for their organs during Cast Lead last year.

This one is about pathology work on dead Israelis and Palestinians done through 2000 with what doctors at first thought was family consent.

Nancy Scheper-Hughes, admits the two stories are for all intents and purposes "distinct."

And the implication regarding targeting Palestinians?
Scheper-Hughesnot says herself
"not by a long shot."

Of course the AP doesn't tell you any of that until the very end, which is where they inform readers that there's still "no evidence" for the Swedish blood libel.

Complaints against the institute, where autopsies of are performed at the time of Hiss' dismissal came from relatives of Israeli soldiers and civilians as well as Palestinians. The bodies belonged to people who died from various causes, including diseases, accidents and Israeli-Palestinian violence, but there has been no evidence to back up the claim in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that Israeli soldiers killed Palestinians for their organs.

NONE

But does that stop the bashers?
Does it stop the hatred?”

Yank in France replied on Dec 24, 2009 at 05:35:33

“"Bashers"? Donald Bostrom called for an investigation, nothing more, nothing less.
As for organ trafficking, I really do NOT know. In the past, going back to the 1990s and the 2000 report, I dismissed such allegations was the product of Westerners being crudely manipulated by Palestinians.
But as I look into Mr Bostrom's comments, I am no longer quite sure. As such, I would urge you and all other people to google the story, not just the commentaries by third parties with an axe to grind, but actually listen to what Bostrom has to say. Here is one interview for your enjoyment:

“People asking questions, like "Was there consent" are bashers?

That makes them "haters"?

Where I come from, asking questions means you *care* and want all sides of the story before making a judgment.”

It was founded by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Zafar Iqbal[2][3] in the Kunar province of Afghanistan[citation needed] in 1990. It is currently based in Muridke near Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan and operates several training camps in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.[4]

Lashkar-e-Taiba members have carried out major attacks against India and its objective is to introduce an Islamic state in South Asia and to "liberate" Muslims residing in Indian-administered Kashmir.[3][5] Some breakaway Lashkar members have also been accused of carrying out attacks in Pakistan, particularly in Karachi, to mark its opposition to the policies of former President Pervez Musharraf.[6]

The organization is banned as a terrorist organization by India, Pakistan, the United States,[7] the United Kingdom,[6] the European Union,[8] Russia[9] and Australia.[10] As of December 2008 U.S. intelligence officials believed that Pakistan's main intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), continued to give LeT intelligence help and protection.[11]”

“Wrong ...

Much on this site shows clearly why we need to keep all of this very much alive.
Anti Semitism is a virus that is still very much alive and well especially in Western Europe - particularly in the UK. It had only been in remission immediately after WWII and only because what it led to made many less inclined to act out their urges in public.

But now the remission has ended and the virus flourishes again. Jews are attacked daily around the globe, picked out deliberately as they were in Mumbai, and always the excuse that its not Jews but Zionism or Israel is really the target ... no Jews are the target and all the old classic anti Semitic claims are now hurled at Israel - the new collective Jew.

No, the camps need to be kept up and open and available for all to see where it ultimately leads to”

“It was a backwater swamp according to Samuel Clemens
read it (Mark Twain) for yourself
here's an excerpt - you can find more at the link

"Renowned Jerusalem itself, the stateliest name in history, has lost all its ancient grandeur, and is become a pauper village; the riches of Solomon are no longer there to compel the admiration of visiting Oriental queens; the wonderful temple which was the pride and the glory of Israel, is gone, and the Ottoman crescent is lifted above the spot where, on that most memorable day in the annals of the world, they reared the Holy Cross. The noted Sea of Galilee, where Roman fleets once rode at anchor and the disciples of the Saviour sailed in their ships, was long ago deserted by the devotees of war and commerce, and its borders are a silent wilderness; Capernaum is a shapeless ruin; Magdala is the home of beggared Arabs; Bethsaida and Chorazin have vanished from the earth, and the "desert places" round about them where thousands of men once listened to the Saviour's voice and ate the miraculous bread, sleep in the hush of a solitude that is inhabited only by birds of prey and skulking foxes.
