It would be interesting to know the identities of the individuals involved.

This is positively evil!!!! It's human nature at its absolute lowest. These morally bankrupt vile 'human beings' should be relieved of both their kidneys and left to die. It's positively beyond disgusting. I hope the Supreme Court shows some iron-clad balls and locks them up until they die - or better still, hang them. I've just thrown up my lunch over my keyboard - I cannot believe I have to share a planet with sick bastards, such as these people. Get rid of them!

Are they connected with these people? (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,534838,00.html)

to no. 2 i agree with you,absolute right

And lawyers will be lawyers, forgery or not. their colleagues will find a way .... ! Not having a war to fight, our General, is using his superb skills as an organiser, by keeping 'his' organs moving and the dough rolling.

In the Biblical sense- the punishment should be: a) remove the organs form the perpetrators if possible b) fine them for their cirmes c) execute them, so as to discourage similar criminals. The problems Israel faces is that she adheres not to the Torah, but to some modern made up laws.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1108384.html Does this information shed any light about the claims made by the swedish newspaper?

How is this different from the accusations made by the Swedish journalist who claimed the IDF was trading in body organs of dead Palestinians? In this story: - the IDF is involved in the form of the General - organs of the dead are being traded In theory, this trend does exist. So what makes the Swedish investigation so out of this world? Just a question...

Somebody is in a rush to get somewhere to make a big sale.The time is limited. The road is blocked by an injured person in the street. Personality "A"gets out of the car to help the person. Personality "B" gets out of the car and moves the injured person to the side and gets back in the car.Personality "C" drives over the injured person and rushes on. The ring of organ traffikers is personality "C". What about you?

If they could buy the kidneys for ten thousand dollars, why should they offer 100,000 dollars and leave the disgruntled donors walking around with proof of the crime right in their bodies?

That's why they got caught.

years - they execute people for misdemeanours or those falsely accused to harvest their organs - and both Russia and the USA have clandestine organ theft programs in place - the Wealthy take advantage of the not-so-wealthy or the desperate for their own immoral gain! Soon the Messiah will return and judgement will face this sorry excuse for humanity!! But of course this being reported in some isolated incident in Israel will now give the Muslims and Liberals a feast of Anti-Semitic vitriol and hate to spew forth. G-d Bless Israel and His Chosen - G-d's greatest gift to this World after Himself!

You state that in this story: -the IDF is involved in the form of the Genral No - a retired military man is involved, the army as an institution is not. -organs of the dead are being traded No. If you had read the article, these are all live donors. One cannot obtain usable organs from the dead, so the Swedish story is patently false.

... as do many other countries where Israelis go to take advange of it being used there. And people who opt-out should be the last in line for transplants.

In this precise case, israeli kidneys were removed in foreign countries to be sold to wealthy receeivers, including Gulf Arabs. However, it is more politically correct to claim that a swiss gangster stole your arab watch, otherwise nobody will believe you.

Months ago, this was all being denied. Just goes to show you-where there's a scar, there's an organ missing! I totally agree with #2!

this is soo tragic that something like that happens in the state of Israel. I hope they will receive a severe punishment they deserve. On the other hand it is not less tragic that people in this country have to donate their organs in order to be able to make a living!

This was more like an organ black market they were offering money for organs although they were then not paying the bill. Organ trafficking is the kind of thing that the anti Israel journalists were saying about Israel just taking the organs from dead palestinians. This would be better described as the creation of an organ black market.

IDF should act first. MILITARY COURT MARTIAL PROCEEDINGS NEED TO BE INITIATED WITHOUT DELAY! If he has done what is alleged,Zamir should be demoted to private,and denied any miliitary pension. If he lies,there are other legal sanctions to be taken against him. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED IN THE MILITARY TRIAL,SHOULD BE RELEASED TO THE SOLICITOR GENERAL,IN ORDER TO FACILITATE HIS CONVICTION IN THE CIVIL COURT

A story such as this and the ones about human traffiking of foreign girls of Tel Aviv's brothels which appeared in Haaretz will give ammunition to the anti-Israel crowd. The sripture isfull of G-d's warnings concerning the ill begotten lust for riches. Psalm also warns, that, "Sin will find you out" Let's pray Israel will not be judged collectively a she always is.

Do you mean let's not judge Israel collectively the way Israelis judge Germans collectively?

Jews couldn't possibly be involved in such activities. They are God's chosen people.
