-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Every accusation of Chinese communist organic harvesting is projection

The only democracy in the Middle East, eh? In dystopia fiction evil countries do things like kill people to harvest their organs.

In 2009, Sweden's largest daily newspaper, Aftonbladet, reported testimony that the Israeli army was kidnapping and murdering Palestinians to harvest their organs.

The report quotes Palestinian claims that young men from the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip had been seized by the Israeli army, and their bodies returned to the families with missing organs.

"'Our sons are used as involuntary organ donors,' relatives of Khaled from Nablus said to me, as did the mother of Raed from Jenin as well as the uncles of Machmod and Nafes from Gaza, who all had disappeared for a few days and returned by night, dead and autopsied," wrote Donald Bostrom, the author of the report.

This article about stealing organs for transplant concludes by introducing an insinuation of grave robbing or desecration

On 18 January, the Times of Israel reported that the Israeli army confirmed reports that its soldiers dug up graves in a Gaza cemetery, claiming its soldiers were trying to “confirm that the bodies of hostages were not buried there.”

Do Israeli soldiers want organs that have been moldering in the ground? For what? Or they just love destroying the bodies of Palestinians? Digging up a grave doesn't sound like my idea of recreation tbh. But If so it sort of disputes the prior paragraphs where bodies were missing organs and they were presumed to be taken for transplant. Maybe they were just doing it for fun. ..... ?

It seems weird to introduce a completely new topic, one with such emotional salience, right at the end. I'm not familiar with this website or any of the sources it cites other than Times of Israel, and not very. Is it believable?

Israel digging up cemeteries is something that has been widely documented.

Here is a CNN report (first hit, and pro-Zionist source) of it from 4 months ago: https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/20/middleeast/israel-gaza-cemeteries-desecrated-investigation-intl-cmd/index.html
