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

Ever notice how anytime someone accuses Israel of something, Israel says it's antisemitic?

Their accusations mean nothing, because at this point the Israeli government just reflexively says it.

Sounds like something an antisemite would say!

You're 100% correct.

In what world would this make sense? People really need to think these things through.

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.

After death you have 4~ hours to harvest a heart. So they're claiming someone died in Gaza, they got the body to the morgue then Israel captured the hospital, took the bodies and fast choppered them to another medical center, to harvest a heart... all within 4 hours of death.

They also have thousands of "prisoners" who are loosely tracked, many without formal charges against them

They're not just taking dead bodies, they're taking living humans

And you have to consider that Israel controls Palestine's birth register and ID card issuance. Palestinians can't be desaparecidos if they never appeared (on the books) in the first place, right?

I'm not sure but other tissues within the heart, like valves, might last longer. Also many parts can be used for research, not necessarily transplantation.

I find this difficult to believe since I assume their dogma would be that a Palestinian organ in an Israeli body would be immediate disqualification for heaven. If tattoos are considered self-mutilation, a Hamas heart must be worse.
