Isn't organ harvesting a really difficult process that needs to be handled quickly and shortly after death?
I wouldn't put it past Israel, given their behavior, but this seems initially implausible to me, as someone with limited knowledge of the medical process.
Kidneys can last like a day and a half outside the body...
But Israel is taking a lot of living prisoners, and returning bodies that are missing organs which coincidentally are almost always ones that are transplantable...
It's fine to be cautious, but what other rationale would you use for those organs being missing from returned bodies?
I don't think Israel has even given an alternative, but I may have missed it
But the article here doesn’t say anything about living prisoners. It only mentions corpses that were taken from hospitals then returned, plus an accusation that they are digging up graves. Both of which would be long expired.
If you think that's all it talks about, you didn't read till the end...
It goes in Israel's history of taking organs from non Israelis, even foreign workers.
