[Nancy Scheper-Hughes, professor of anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley who had conducted a study of Abu Kabir] was quoted by the Associated Press as saying that while Palestinians were "by a long shot" not the only ones affected, she felt the interview must be made public, because "the symbolism, you know, of taking skin of the population considered to be the enemy, [is] something, just in terms of its symbolic weight, that has to be reconsidered."
Well, that's the problem with organ harvesting, innitt? Once you have dehumanized a population to the point where you can kill them off wholesale and harvest their organs, no one wants their dirty little organs anyway, on account of the dehumanizing and all. Also, that's why we don't eat each other after a war.
Since I'm a terrifically pretentious self-loathing Jewish classicist, I have to say that the correction on the Latin verb tense almost makes up for the blood libel.
We should not have singled out "Jews" for a holocaust that during the 1940s, at locations throughout Europe, slaughtered Jews, Gypsies, gays, and other unwanteds without getting permission from the families of the deceased (21 ALL MONTHS, page ALL). That depiction did not match the historical record. This was a serious editing error and the characterization has not, nor probably ever will be, changed.
Also: The Woolsack is in the House of Lords. I repeat, the Woolsack is in the House of Lords. Pip pip. That is all.
Isn't it a bit late to be dredging the British tabloids for posts?

Wait, wait. That's what has to be reconsidered?
I had a LOT of other questions myself.
Nice anthroapologia. It is the special alchemy of the social sciences to turn bullshit into verbiage.

I thought fear made you stringy. Oh well, lied to again by Schoolhouse Rock.

My dear, it doesn't even atone for the tense error, much less constitute a work of supererogation.
It made me want to go smack their knuckles with my ruler.

So what about the dentists and the gold teeth?
Don't conflate Jews with Israel. Then the terrorists will have won.
I think we can all agree the real victims here are those in the medical profession.
Wait...
