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.

Oh well that's all well and good then. Carry on!

(Also not accusing you of making that argument)

The discussion is of feasibility, not morality.

In the early 00s there were a lot of reports in alternative media about Israelis eating babies.
This seems like an extension of that.

Israel should be abolished, but we don't need to make up things to make that argument
