A senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (PFLP) says Israel's killing of Palestinian youths
for their organs is an "unforgivable sin."
Stealing organs of Palestinian martyrs is a violation of all
humanitarian principles and values, PFLP executive Maher al-
Taher said in a Tuesday statement.
Taher further called on human rights organizations and the
international community to fulfill their professional and
humanitarian commitments and bring to justice those Israeli
officials involved in the criminal act.
Reports on the hideous move first surfaced in August when an
article in the Swedish popular tabloid Aftonbladet quoted
Palestinians as revealing that Israel returned their
relatives' bodies with their chests sewn up, which indicated
the organ theft.
The article drew explosive controversy and verbal attack
from Israeli officials who fiercely rejected the revelations
at the time.
Israeli politician and leader of the Arab nationalist party,
Ahmad Tibi, said on Saturday that a medical institution in
Israel harvested appendages from the bodies of dead
Palestinians in the 1990's.
According to Tibi, the body parts, which included heart
arteries, bones, and corneal tissue, were used in organ
transplants for Israeli soldiers.
Tel Aviv finally came clean on the issue, confirming that
its forensic scientists in the 1990s took organs from
Palestinian dead bodies.
The Israeli television showed a documentary over organ
theft, claiming that Israeli politician and Knesset member
Aryeh Eldad was the main culprit behind the bodysnatching
incident.
An Israeli Knesset member says there is evidence showing
that deceased Palestinians were stripped bare of their vital
organs while in police custody in Tel Aviv.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
