Police smash Israeli organ-trafficking ringQuote:
A retired army brigadier general is among six suspects arrested by Israeli police investigating an organ-trafficking ring, police say.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8608053.stmHmmm a few people involved and that makes it national policy??
Gee, we have drug smuggling rings in Canada, but I guess that makes all Canadians a bunch of drug dealers right?
Of course, your hatred for Israel is quite clear when you continually bring up organ harvesting. Let's look around the globe at other countries where organ havesting takes or has taken place shall we? Mozambique, various South American countries, China, Ukraine, Italy, Iran, India, various Eastern European nations, but I guess it's all those horrible Joo's fault

The trade in organ harvesting from ‘commercial living donors’ as they are euphemistically termed, is thriving in Egypt, as an example, due to the lack of legislation there. According to research by Coalition for Organ-Failure Solutions (COFS) it is reported that ‘…up to 95 percent of the 3,000 legal kidney transplants per year, and hundreds of illegal ones, involve a commercial transaction’. In Egypt, organ harvesting from the deceased is prohibited, therefore, most come from poor Egyptians, who are convinced to sell their kidney.
Quote:
1.People seized against their will. According to a book by UN war crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte, members of the Kosovo Liberation Army seized hundreds of people for involuntary organ harvesting. The organs were then flown to foreign clinics for transplantation. Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian leaders have denied these allegations.
2.Organs harvested from children. An investigation was started in Mosambique after several local human rights groups and the Brazilian Mission in Nampula notified authorities that many children were missing vital organs, with several of the children believed to have died as a result of the harvesting. Most of the harvested organs are believed to be sent to nearby South Africa for both transplant and religious rites. There have also been reports of children being kidnapped and killed for their organs in South America.
3.Outrageous price of kidneys. 2003 estimates from the World Health Organization believe that the price of a trafficked kidney ranges from $700 in South Africa to over $30,000 in the US, with many other countries paying between $1,000 and $10,000 for a kidney. Recent news reports surrounding the corruption scandal in New Jersey indicate that a broker was asking $160,000 for a kidney, unknowingly to an undercover FBI agent.
4.Sellers denied money and care. Many of the black market kidneys sold worldwide are done so by poor and vulnerable people in desperate need of money. They are typically paid only a fraction of the amount for which they are sold, and sometimes are denied payment by unscrupulous brokers and receive poor or no medical care for their recovery. These donors are often left debilitated by the lack of care, often not fully recovering from the donation. Sometimes entire villages have given their kidneys, like Villivakkum in India that is sometimes referred to as "Kidneyvakkum."
5.Go in for an exam, leave without a kidney. In Egypt, one method of organ trafficking revolved around a hiring scheme. Young men were hired for a job and sent to a physician for an exam to ensure their good health. The young men would awaken in a hospital in pain and missing a kidney. Victims of this scheme have faced threats of violence when they have filed charges against those who perpetrated the crime.
6.Detained and executed for organs. China has been under scrutiny for several years for detaining members of dissident groups in China, executing them, and selling their organs. One American paid $100,000 for a liver to keep his mother alive only to discover that his transaction with a man in Shanghai was likely a part of this Chinese racket that included using a religious group to help facilitate the sale of the liver.
7.Only legal in one country. Despite the high numbers and rampant disregard for the law, organ trafficking is illegal in all but one country around the world. In Iran, organ sales are legal and closely monitored. The practice of legal organ transactions has eliminated the waiting list for those awaiting a kidney and has provided an increase in post-mortem organ donations, which are not remunerated in Iran.
8.American rabbis selling organs. Earlier this year, five prominent rabbis in New Jersey were arrested for money laundering and trafficking organs. The rabbis allegedly convinced Israelis to sell their kidneys for $10,000 and then charged up to $160,000 for the kidneys to those in need. The rabbis stated their money came from other sources, with one man claiming the money came from the "diamond business."
9.Babies auctioned for organs. Three Ukrainian women were arrested in Italy after auctioning off the unborn child of one of the women. The baby’s mother sold her unborn child for $350,000 euros (about $500,000 US dollars) to undercover officers who posed as drug runners looking for a baby for its organs. The officials believe the gang of women had performed the same transaction with other babies, sometimes selling them for illegal adoptions and sometimes for their organs.
10.Transplant tourism. Taking advantage of countries that have nebulous definitions of brain-death and often don’t enforce organ trafficking laws, those in need of organs will often travel to places such as Israel, India, and eastern European countries to purchase organs illegally. In South Africa, those arriving for transplant tourism often receive their transplants in hospitals that are more akin to luxury hotels than transplant centers.
Yep, it's quite telling indeed your attitude towards Israel. They are FAR from the only ones and far from the biggest ones, but let's focus on the evil Isralei's.
Oh wait, this is intersting:

Six people were arrested on Wednesday by the police’s Northern Fraud Branch for allegedly misleading people into donating their organs in exchange for false promises of money, and for arranging dangerous organ transplants abroad that resulted in medical complications for recipients.
The suspects included Brig.-Gen. (res.) Meir Zamir, 62, of Rishon Lezion, and two lawyers – named by police as Natanel Moyal, 34, of Ashkelon, and Eliyahu Rafaeli, 77. Other suspects included Kobi Glob, 34, of Or Yehuda, Shlomi Biton, 34, of Ashkelon, and his girlfriend Yafit Shukrun, 36, of Ramle.
The ring allegedly placed ads in local newspapers promising $100,000 to kidney donors. In some cases, those allegedly duped by the ads were paid only $10,000, while in other cases, the organ donors received no money at all.
In 2008, the Knesset outlawed organ trafficking and the earning of profit on organ transplants. The law stipulates that all organ transplants must be carried out by the National Transplant and Organ Donation Center.
“The suspects looked for people in financial distress,” Ch.-Supt. Ezer Yehuda, of the police’s Fraud Branch, told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.
“We began investigating the ring several months ago after receiving a complaint by a woman who said she had been paid $4,000 instead of the promised $100,000 for donating her kidney,” Yehuda said. “They found innocent people and stole their kidneys.”
According to Yehuda, donors and organ recipients were often flown together from Israel to Ecuador, Azerbaijan and the Philippines, where the transplants were carried out without proper medical supervision.
“As a result, some of the donors are suffering from medical complications and are classed as being lightly disabled,” Yehuda said.
A number of the suspects have previous convictions for narcotics and property crimes, police said.
“This is the most severe case involving organ transplants we know of,” asserted Yehuda.
Looks like the actions of a few criminals, NOT national policy.
