Israeli forces arrest a Palestinian woman at a military checkpoint in Hebron after she posted a comment on Facebook on Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Israeli occupation government practices the worst forms of organised terrorism against the Palestinian people, including theft, destruction, forgery, looting and seizing Palestinian rights.
These practices are evidence of the atrocity of the organised terrorism led by the Israeli intelligence services known as the Shin Bet, Aman and Mossad, as this audacity has reached the level of stealing organs from the bodies of Palestinian martyrs that have been seized.
A number of Israeli doctors supervise the implementation of the most accurate and dangerous organised organ theft from the bodies of Palestinians without the consent or knowledge of their families. After it stole the Palestinian land and history, the occupation is stealing human organs in complex operations carried out by its gangs, thus violating all laws. This is considered a heinous crime and bitter reality by all standards.
After Arab and international journalists and institutions published reports on this and several human rights organisations called for the prosecution of the occupation for carrying out the most heinous thefts in modern history, seizing the bodies of Palestinian martyrs and stealing their organs to save the lives of Israelis. This is considered one of the ugliest crimes and organised terrorism brutally led by the Israeli security agencies’ gangs.
Swedish journalist Donald Bostrom published a report in August 2009 in Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper in which he revealed that the occupation government stole the organs of the martyr, Bilal Ghanem, 19, who died in 1992.
According to the report, his body was handed over and it was clear that Bilal had been cut open from his neck to his abdomen and his organs had been stolen. The matter was very clear when he was being prepared for burial, which proves that the doctors from the forensic medicine institute took part of the body. Organs have been taken from bodies still held in the cemetery of numbers, where the occupation government keeps the bodies of Palestinian martyrs and still refuses to hand them over to their relatives.
In a past investigation, Director of the Abu Kabir Institute of Forensic Medicine, Yehuda Hiss, admitted stealing the organs of Palestinian martyrs while performing autopsies. The recorded confessions of Dr Hiss in 2000 addressed the way the forensic medicine institute was managed and how skin and corneas were stolen from the bodies that were sent to the institution illegally. Dr Hiss and the doctors working under him would steal corneas from the eyes of Palestinian martyrs.
Palestinian families mentioned they would notice large incisions in the abdominal and chest of their relatives who were killed in Israeli attacks during the First Intifada that took place in 1987. The occupation army had seized their bodies before handing them over.
What we need is to open this file and consider it seriously in order to demand supervision over the occupation’s crimes and ending it by opening a major investigation. A team of international lawyers informed of these crimes must be formed and they must work to expose them on an international level in order to prosecute the occupation leaders. No matter how far the occupation government’s arrogance, practices and crimes against the Palestinian people go, we cannot allow them to avoid international prosecution.
We must work to activate Arab and Palestinian efforts, as well as official and popular European efforts to hold the occupation leaders accountable for the war crimes they continue to commit against the Palestinian people.

The prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC), Ms. Fatou Bensouda, said that no charges have been filed against any Israeli or Palestinian, and the investigation has not been opened.
In an interview with the Hebrew-language paper, Maariv, Bensouda said: “The International Criminal Court is acting according to the principle of personal responsibility for crimes.
It does not deal with conflicts between countries and it does not sue countries.”
“If and when it is opened, the General Prosecutor’s office will manage an independent investigation with no inquiries, and which will be based only on proofs.
In the court’s process, according to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, every suspect enjoys the required legal guarantees, including the presumption of innocence from crime until his guilt is proven, and the right to a lawyer of his choosing.”
Last week, the ICC said it will launch a full investigation into war crimes in the Palestinian territories, a move welcomed by the Palestinian government.
Bensouda said the preliminary examination into war crimes, opened in 2015, had rendered enough information to meet all criteria for opening an investigation.
PNN reports that over 30 lawyers in the Palestinian occupied territories helped draft the fresh dossier.
Gaza, with a population of more than 1.8 million, has been under siege by the Israeli regime since June of 2007. The blockade has caused a decline in the standards of living as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.
A UN fact-finding mission said in March that Israeli forces committed rights violations during their crackdown against Palestinian protesters in the Gaza Strip last year that may amount to “war crimes,” urging the regime’s military to prevent its snipers from using lethal force against the demonstrators.
The Popular Committee Against the Siege recently appealed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to save the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Strip, Days of Palestine reports.
“The situation in the Gaza Strip entails urgent and decisive intervention from the UN Secretary-General to pressure the occupation to lift the siege,” Committee head Jamal al-Khudari said in a statement, on Saturday.
“Ending the Israeli blockade will contribute to saving the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza,” he added.
He stressed that “the blockade is immoral and inhuman, and contradicts all principles of the international law, the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Palestinian officials said today that an Israeli plan made public by Defense Minister Naftali Bennett to enable settlers to register Palestinian lands in occupied West Bank areas classified as “C” in the land registry of the Israeli Ministry of Justice proves that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is on the right track.
The ICC last week decided to open a war crime investigation of Israeli settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The statement by Bennett proves that the ICC was right in initiating action against Israel, said Saeb Erekat, secretary general of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
He told Voice of Palestine this decision is the beginning of the annexation of occupied Palestinian land.
He said the ICC has a large number of evidence of Israeli war crimes in the occupied territories to justify starting a probe into these crimes, expressing hope that the ICC would take action against Bennett, whose file of statements is going to be at the table of the ICC on Monday.
Another PLO Executive Committee member, Ahmad Majdalani, said Bennett’s decision is a manifestation of the colonialist mentality and an extension of the plan by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to annex the occupied Jordan Valley and other parts of the West Bank.
He considered the decision an attempt to seize the land in order to prevent the creation of a viable Palestinian state.
Walid Assaf, the Palestinian official responsible for the anti-wall, anti-settlement department, also told Voice of Palestine that registering the land with the Israeli Justice Ministry is a de facto annexation of occupied land and therefore a clear violation of all international agreements.
“What we see today is an attempt to speed up measures for transferring land to the settlers and to go from enforcing Jordanian law that still applies in the occupied Palestinian territories with the Israeli law,” he said, “which explains the decision to register the land where the settlements are built with the Israeli Justice Ministry.”
He stressed that until there is an international outcry rejecting this step, Israel is going to annex all the occupied territories and destroy the two-state solution.

Why does Israel consider itself to be above the law? And why do supporters of the Zionist state look the other way when its war crimes raise their ugly head?
Accusations followed by routine denials are the norm now that the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor has announced that she wants to open an investigation into charges of war crimes committed by Israel against Palestinians; the cyclical farce of denying not only the charges but also that the court has any jurisdiction continues.
Instead of trying to sweep the issue under the carpet, though, isn’t it time to listen to the evidence from Palestinians who have suffered under one of the most brutal military occupations of the past 100 years?
They are, after all, entitled to the same human rights that those who defend Israel so vigorously take for granted, and what better way to prove this than through the ICC?
This also provides an opportunity for the ICC to boost its credibility and counter its critics, who say that it only goes after African dictators. Such criticism is levelled frequently at the international court, which has also been accused of turning a blind eye to Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.
Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda is now saying that “war crimes” had been or were being committed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, and has asked for a ruling on the court’s territorial jurisdiction.
The news will be greeted with grim satisfaction by the Palestinians who have pushed patiently for nearly five years for the ICC to examine their evidence.
Predictably, Tel Aviv says the move is “baseless”, while under-fire Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that the ICC has no jurisdiction over Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, not least, he says, because there is no entity called the State of Palestine.
He ignores the fact that 138 of the 193 UN member states recognise its existence. As Israeli intransigence grows, the Zionist state is digging itself a deeper hole that makes it increasingly difficult for all but its most fanatical supporters to defend it.
It is true that Israel has not signed the Rome Treaty and thus signed up to the ICC. To do so, claims Netanyahu, would make it possible for the court to be used as a political tool to delegitimise the Zionist state, but he would say that, wouldn’t he?
Instead of being so defensive and draping itself in false victimhood, Israel would do well to take up the challenge of an ICC investigation. If its behaviour is indeed legitimate and above board, then surely it has nothing to fear from the international court.
However, the truth is that Israel is on very shaky ground, and Netanyahu knows this.
Ever since it was created in 1948 by the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians, Israel has subjected those who remained, and then from 1967 those who had fled to refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, to brutal military rule, with war crimes and crimes against humanity a feature of everyday life for Palestinian men, women and children.
These crimes have been well documented not only by Palestinians, but also observers from human rights groups both within and beyond Israel who have provided enough evidence for the ICC to open an investigation.
“There are no substantial reasons to believe that an investigation would not serve the interests of justice,” said Bensouda over the weekend. She has now filed a request with judges to rule on what territory a future inquiry would cover because of the contested legal and factual status of occupied Palestine. The prosecutor has urged them to “rule expeditiously” so that she can follow through the process quickly.
The role and behaviour of the Israeli military will fall under investigation, as will the scores of illegal settlements built in defiance of international law, the plight of Palestinian child prisoners and the detention without trial of other Palestinians.
The act of moving Jewish settlers into the occupied Palestinian territories is a war crime which confirms Israel as a colonial-settler state hell bent on expansion, as is collective punishment, which Israel metes out frequently to Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.
The ICC has, apparently, specifically examined crimes committed by Israel since June 2014, including its military offensive against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in that year, which killed 2,251 people, including 1,462 civilians, at least 500 of whom were children.
Israeli soldiers have also targeted clearly identified medics, journalists and other civilians during the regular Great March of Return protests in Gaza since March 2018; they too are likely to be investigated by the court.
The Palestinian Authority welcomed the ICC’s move, as did the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, which insisted that, “Israel’s legal acrobatics in an attempt to whitewash its crimes must not be allowed to stop international legal efforts to, at long last, hold it to account.”
Should the ICC open a case it is hard to know exactly who could give credible evidence on Israel’s behalf.
Its biggest supporter, US President Donald Trump, is currently being impeached for allegedly abusing his presidential powers; if there is enough support in Congress, he might even be removed from office, although this is unlikely in the Republican-controlled chamber.
Nevertheless, his already limited credibility will be damaged even more by the process. Netanyahu, meanwhile, stands accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate cases.
All in all, it looks as if the laws and conventions which Israel treats with such contempt may yet be its downfall. At the very least, it has to understand that its days of acting with total impunity are numbered, and in an increasingly toxic Middle East, that can only be a good thing.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave instructions to freeze the plans to annex the Jordan Valley to Israeli sovereignty, Ynet revealed Tuesday.
The Israeli paper explained, according to Al Ray, that Netanyahu made his decision following that of the International Prosecutor to conduct an investigation into war crimes, carried out by the Israeli occupation army in the Palestinian territories.
The paper revealed that Netanyahu has decided to cancel the staff meeting of the Joint Ministerial Committee, which was scheduled last week, to discuss the scheme to annex the Jordan Valley to Israeli sovereignty.
It noted that the decision to freeze talks on the plans came for fear of any possible measures against Israel in the International Criminal Court, in The Hague.
The staff of the Joint Ministerial Committee aims to accelerate the implementation of the scheme to annex the Jordan Valley by developing a draft law on this matter.

Israel is considering preventing the entry of officials from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to the chief prosecutor’s decision to investigate its possible war crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories, the Middle East Monitor reported.
Israel Hayom published, on Monday, that representatives from the Israeli ministries of Foreign Affairs, Justice and National Security, have discussed practical ways to respond to the ICC chief prosecutor’s decision to investigate Israeli actions in the occupied Palestinian Territories.
The paper said representatives from the three ministries met, on Sunday, in the office of Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and discussed the possibility of preventing the entry of ICC staff into Israel.
Israel is considering taking steps similar to the ones taken by the US administration, which refuses to grant entry visas for ICC employees, in response to the court’s intention to investigate American soldiers who participated in the war in Afghanistan.
Netanyahu is to transfer all deliberations on the matter to the Israeli security cabinet, and impose a gag order to prevent the disclosure of Israel’s future actions on the issue, the paper said.
On Friday, ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda announced her intention to open a full investigation into possible Israeli war crimes in the Palestinian territories.
