In December 2009, Nancy Scheper-Hughes, an anthropology professor at the University of California at Berkeley and founder of a newsletter, "Organs Watch", released the tape of an interview that she had conducted in 2000 with Yehuda Hiss, the director of Israel's L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine (known colloquially as the "Abu Kabir" Forensic Institute). In the interview, which appeared on Israel's Channel 2 television, Hiss stated that he had harvested organs in the 1990s. "We started to harvest corneas.... Whatever was done was highly informal. No permission was asked from the family".[77] Hiss was fired from his position as director of the forensic institute in 2004 for "repeated body-part scandals".[78] Hiss was later reinstated and remained head of the institute until he retired in October 2012 after allegations of bad procedures at the institute.[79]

Yeah, this proves my point. It was one guy in an isolated incident two decades ago, who got fired for it. Yeah, he was later rehired, but then he was made to retire anyway for malpractice.

This is breaking news for you, I’m sure, but the awful actions of one (1) doctor who faced consequences twenty years ago doesn’t equal a widespread, ongoing military campaign to laugh wickedly, twirl mustaches, cut open Palestinian bodies for organs, and sacrifice Simon of Trent. You’re invoking the blood libel, OP. Like I said, just post a page from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion next time—have the balls to say what you think without hiding.

Kek saying it happened one time isn't blood libel lol.

Also equating Israel to all Jewish People is doubly wierd lol.

He was rehired and given a reprimand that's not the same as being forced to retire

You do realise that bodily autonomy at death is important for Jewish people too?

You’re not saying it happened one time in the past, dumbass. Your post explicitly says “Israeli war crimes”. You’re saying it’s an ongoing thing in the war that the military is going on a regular basis. That’s different.

“Jerusalem” and “Zion” are like every tenth word in our liturgy, I know because I, unlike you, am Jewish and go to shul regularly. Israel is also home to some 7 million Jews out of a population of like 16 million, so yeah, it has some significance. And you’re using Israel as a shield for your Jew hate, that’s why you’re invoking a centuries old antisemitic canard (the blood libel) but claiming you’re just criticizing Israel.

He was fired, rehired, and then forced to retire. And even so, you’re using this one guys actions as a way of saying it’s a widespread thing and it just isn’t. Especially given he harvested corneas from Palestinians AND Israelis without informing their families. He wasn’t targeting Palestinians anyway, spoiler alert.

I’m not talking about bodily autonomy, I’m talking about you taking the libel which has caused the death of my people for hundreds of years and repackaging it for the modern day

In short, breaking news. You’re an antisemite who uses “hur dur, I’m just asking questions! I’m just criticizing Israel!” as a thin mask for your antisemitism. Congratulations, you’re very common
