I wonder how Israel’s going to spin this one:
Israel has admitted pathologists harvested organs from dead Palestinians, and others, without the consent of their families – a practice it said ended in the 1990s – it emerged at the weekend.
The admission, by the former head of the country’s forensic institute, followed a furious row prompted by a Swedish newspaper reporting that Israel was killing Palestinians in order to use their organs – a charge that Israel denied and called “antisemitic”.
The revelation, in a television documentary, is likely to generate anger in the Arab and Muslim world and reinforce sinister stereotypes of Israel and its attitude to Palestinians. Iran’s state-run Press TV tonight reported the story, illustrated with photographs of dead or badly injured Palestinians.
Now I know what you’re thinking: Phuck, how is Sofía Vergara connected with Israel harvesting Palestinian organs? She’s isn’t. I just thought it would soften the blow of this hideous news if I used a picture of her. (What? It works for Fox News.)
Plus, I couldn’t come up with anything funny to say about this story other than I wonder if the Palestinians who had their corneas harvested saw it coming…
