This Palestinian Has Had Her Kidneys Harvested By Israel Six Times

Her travails recall the case of a Gaza man who, several years ago, died six times at the hand of IDF snipers.

Ramallah, October 3 – Nadia Shifa, 30, has felt the abuses and indignities of the Occupation more than most of her compatriots: whereas they all suffer from mobility restrictions and military incursions, she must also deal with the recurring phenomenon of the IDF and other security forces who drug her, kidnap her, and remove her vital organs, each time with fatal consequences.

The mother of five from a village just outside this de facto Palestinian capital city – Palestinians officially claim Jerusalem, Israel’s capital, as theirs – has lost count of the number of times Israel has removed her kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, eyes, and even all the skin on her face, plus assorted other irreplaceable bodily tissues, to sell on the international black market.

“Obviously they can’t use it themselves because they’re not native and not related to the native people here,” she observed. “So it can only be for profit. We’re talking about Jews, after all. I’ve died eleven times so far. The international community does nothing. The Jews control the international community, with their banks and media, so we’ll get no help. Even the Arab world is too busy to do anything but posture. Which I would do, too, if Israel hadn’t taken my spine again.”

Nadia’s suffering encapsulates the Palestinian narrative: they face rapacious genocide and ethnic cleansing that has reduced their population in the land from over a million in 1948 to only ten million as of last year. “They take everything from us,” she lamented with a shake of the head, which Israel took from her last year. “Everything precious and vital, they steal. I want my pancreas back! I’ve already died from diabetes without it!”

Her travails recall the case of a Gaza man who, several years ago, died six times at the hand of IDF snipers, tanks, drones, and other violent Israeli methods, who loved to regale journalists with the tale, which differed each time he told it, depending on the western media outlet interviewing him.

Human rights NGOs cite Nadia’s case in frequent reports on the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. “We need to help her and the millions of others under the oppressive Israeli yoke,” acknowledged Omar Bashir of Human Rights Watch. “Nadia is but one of many. I can show you the stories of Palestinians murdered by the millions, genocided so thoroughly that not even forensic scientists have been able to document, locate, or corroborate any of it.”
