China also does this but nobody cares to condemn them

Uhh.. i don't at all understand this type of comment. Are you saying it's ok Israel does this because in your eyes not enough people hold China to account for similar behavior?

No. What's being said is that people care more about punishing Israel than protecting human rights. Your visceral knee jerk "why are you supporting Israel" reaction really only solidifies that this is about ensuring Israel "get what's coming" instead of protecting people from having their literal organs harvested.

> Before eventually admitting to the theft of organs, the Israeli government initially denied the allegations and called them antisemitic.

This is basically the MO for anything. Call out a genocide - you're antisemitic! Call out the endless crimes against humanity committed by Israel? Antisemitic.

Wait, shouldn't Israel be punished for human rights abuses? They're a client state, they can be sanctioned immediately. I don't understand this logic. Punish china also, if possible.
