Israelisk man var organhandlare
- dömd till fängelse i USA 2012
PressTV 2012-07-12
En Israelisk man, bosatt i USA, som utnyttjat de svårt utsatta människorna på Israel-ockuperade Gaza-remsan genom utstuderat hänsynslös organhandel på svarta marknaden, dömdes i juli 2012 till 30 månaders fängelse av en amerikansk domstol.
Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, arbetade under många år med kriminell trafficking av mänskliga organ, mestadels njurar, på svarta marknaden. Organen kom oftast från desperata människor i Gaza-området.
Deras njurar såldes vanligtvis till stenrika amerikaner som betalade summor upp emot
120-160 000 dollar för matchande njurar.
Israelen Rosenbaum åtalades för sin vidriga trafficking med mänskliga organ första gången redan 2006.
2009 arresterades Rosenbaum på nytt och detta var således månaden efter att Aftonbladet rapporterat på kultursidorna om att Israeliska trupper sålde njurar från Palestinier.

Kontroversen uppstod sig till följd av ett kulturreportage i Aftonbladet i augusti 2009 om påstådd organhandel i Israel.
Meningsutbytet kring artikeln utvecklade sig till en diplomatisk konflikt mellan Sveriges regering och Israels regering under augusti 2009. Sveriges grindvakter i media för antisemitisk skuldbeläggning av motståndare tok-aktiverades naturligtvis omgående:
- Mats Skogkär på Sydsvenska Dagbladet kallade Aftonbladet för Antisemitbladet.
*
- Christian Dahlgren, kulturjournalist på Borås Tidning, framhöll på sin blogg att Aftonbladet allt sedan sitt hyllande av Adolf Hitler under 30- och 40-talen ”notoriskt återfallit i spridandet av antijudiska schabloner, oavsett ägare eller politisk kulör”.
* - EU- parlamentarikern Gunnar Hökmark, ordförande i Samfundet Sverige-Israel, jämförde artikeln med nazistisk propaganda och ansåg att Aftonbladet med sin dåvarande redaktionella och politiska ledning sällar sig till publikationer som tillhör ”mörkrets krafter”
*
- I svenska juristkretsar diskuterade man om Aftonbladets artikel var att betrakta som hets mot folkgrupp.
* - I Israel samlade en online–namninsamling på två dagar 10 000 namn som krävde bojkott av svenska företag.
* - Israels regering betraktade Aftonbladet-artikeln som förtal mot Israels militär enligt klassiskt antisemitiskt mönster.
*
*Den 20 december 2009 tog Israels försvarsmakts talesman tillbaka dementin sedan en läkare på det aktuella sjukhuset dömts för organstöld och erkänt en stor mängd organstölder på palestinier, gästarbetare och israeler.

Israeli organ trafficker
sentenced to jail in US
PressTV 2012-07-12A New York-based Israeli is sentenced to prison for buying kidneys from vulnerable people in the Occupied Territories and selling them to patients in the US, while making USD millions in the process.
Israeli male, Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, who resides in Brooklyn, was sentenced to 30 months in jail on Wednesday by US District Judge Anne Thompson in Trenton, New Jersey for organ trafficking.
“It’s a kind of trading in human misery,” Thompson said, adding that Rosenbaum “charged a fee” for kidneys and “used a complicated web of transactions” to finance his business.
The justice also sentenced Rosenbaum to three years of supervised release and a fine of USD 5,000. She also ordered him to forfeit USD 420,000 that he had earned from the black-market kidney sales.
US Attorney Paul J. Fishman, whose office prosecuted the case, said Rosenbaum was the first person to be convicted under the federal statute involving the black-market sales of kidneys from paid donors.
"A black market, where the moneyed sick can buy replacement parts from the less fortunate, is not only grim, it apportions lifesaving treatments unfairly, insults donor dignity, and violates the law," he said in a statement following the sentencing.
"Prison is an appropriate punishment for Levy Rosenbaum's illegal capitalization on others' desperation. Although, Rosenbaum painted himself as a benevolent kidney matchmaker, the criminal profits went right into his pocket," Fishman added.
In October, Rosenbaum was tried for trafficking kidneys between December 2006 and February 2009. Prosecutors had said he charged New Jersey recipients between USD 120,000 and 160,000 to arrange purchases on their behalf during the period.
The 61-year-old pleaded guilty to three counts of kidney trafficking. He also pleaded to one count of aiding a kidney sale.
Rosenbaum was arrested in July 2009 after trying to set up a kidney sale to an undercover FBI agent, who had pretended to have a sick uncle.
The US law bans individuals from knowingly engaging in buying or selling organs for transplant.
A month before Rosenbaum’s arrest, a report published in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet accused Israeli troopers of kidnapping Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip for their organs.

Israel stripped body organs
off Palestinians: MP
off Palestinians: MP
PressTV Sun Dec 20, 2009
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.
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.
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.
Meanwhile, the Israeli television has shown a documentary in this regard, claiming that Israeli politician and Knesset member Aryeh Eldad was the main culprit behind the bodysnatching incident.
The organ theft issue was first brought to the fore in a report published earlier in August by Sweden's largest circulation daily, Aftonbladet.
According to the report, Israeli soldiers were snatching and killing Palestinian men to harvest their organs for sale on the black market. It sheds light on the case of Bilal Ahmed Ghanem, a 19-year-old Palestinian man, who was shot dead in 1992 by Israeli forces in the West Bank village of Imatin.
The report claimed that Ghanem's body was then abducted and returned several days later by the Israeli military with a cut from the stomach to the neck that had been stitched up.
When asked what happened to the body, the soldiers told Bilal's family that he had undergone an autopsy in Tel Aviv. The family, however, claims that his organs had been stolen.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry reacted with anger to the report, calling it "a grotesque libel to incite anti-Semitic sentiments."
Their anger was widely believed to be due to the fact that it had made reference to the recent arrests in New Jersey of several prominent US Jews for a number of alleged crimes, including brokering the sale of organs for transplant.
In 2004, pathologist Yehuda Hiss was removed from his post as head of the state-run L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine after a Health Ministry investigation found that he had been involved for years in taking body parts, such as legs and ovaries, without family permission during autopsies, and selling them to medical schools for use in research and training.
This is while in July 2009, a New York Rabbi, Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, was arrested after it became clear that he was the main broker for a major human organs trafficking ring.
According to Knesset Member Muhammad Baraka there are more than 600 dead Palestinians' bodies buried in what Israel calls 'the number graveyards', which were created for freedom fighters Palestinians killed in combat with the Israeli army.
Baraka requested in August that Israel return the bodies to their families, but his demand is yet to be taken into account by Israeli authorities.
