Yeah, you got a point, sammy–and if I was being robbed, I’d feel the same way.

I’m a organ donor, so you’re welcome.

But put yourself on the other side. If you needed an organ for yourself or your kids, would you really care where it came from?

FROM WIKIPEDIA: …Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also include the Nazis’ systematic murder of millions of people in other groups, including ethnic Poles, the Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other political and religious opponents.[3] By this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims would be between 11 million and 17 million people…

BUT SEE: “Christmas Eve Freedom Fighters: The Battle of Lake Okeechobee, By WILLIAM LOREN KATZ, 12/24/09
(EXCERPT)…In 1816 General Andrew Jackson, hero of New Orleans and commander of US Armies in Florida, determined to terminate this resistance on the southern flank of the US border. To Jackson and slaveholders who dominated the federal government, Florida’s free Seminole people of color constituted a clear and present danger to the US slave system. They saw these free communities as holding a beacon light that could entice thousands of runaways to bolt Georgia, the Carolinas and Louisiana. Even more, the Seminoles offered escapees a safe haven. Perhaps most important, since Africans played a leadership role in the newly-integrated Seminole Nation, their villages stood as a successful, alternative societies, and refuted white claims that Africans were meant to be slaves…

Kidneys for sale, kidneys for sale,
It’s the capitalistic way,
prey on the poor
that’s like mining gold ore.
Profit’s astronomical
downright anatomical!
And who leads the way?
Oy vey, oy vey!
Word’s that American trailer parks
are the next place to rail organ carts.

Couple things. Isn’t it kind of wrenching to kill Palestinians resisting the IDF, and then harvest their organs to save IDF Soldiers? Personally, I’d like to be asked before anybody in my family has their organs harvested, especially in behalf somebody treating my family like animals. Also, whether it be because
of religious convictions, or because non-Jewish life (most Israelis are secular Jews) and even their corpses are
less worthy, it’s a fact that around the world, Jewish people donate the least
organs. Do you have an organ donor flag on your ID? If not, sammy, I take
it you won’t mind if we take your organs because that’s expedient and practical, huh?
