Organ harvesting and the Holocaust http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/organ-harvesting-and-the-holocaust/ British lawmaker George Galloway, who’s trying to shepherd an aid convoy into Gaza to mark the one-year anniversary of the Gaza war, penned a piece in the Scottish Daily Record saying that Israel’s recent admission that it harvested organs from dead bodies carries dark echoes of the Holocaust. en-us uheilman@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-12-30T;21:32:00-05:00 Comment by Will Edwards wl.edwards@gmail.com Murry I think they were referring to the experiments done to the prisoners at the concentration camps.  I would think harvesting organs from unwilling participants would pretty well qualify.

Like it or not, perception counts in the struggle for hearts and minds. This all looks bad, but even without permission, is harvesting organs comparable
