Israel’s Controversial Human Skin Bank: A Dark Reality Unveiled

In a striking revelation Khaled Tarani testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee asserting that Israel possesses the largest human skin bank globally surpassing even China and India in this regard.

This human skin bank established in 1986 under the supervision of the Israeli military’s medical division serves as a medical facility that stores human skin for future applications in treating burns and skin cancers.

What sets this Israeli bank apart from others worldwide is its sourcing of vital tissue. Unlike conventional banks that rely solely on voluntary donors allegations have emerged regarding the procurement of skin from the bodies of Palestinian victims. In a groundbreaking investigative report in 2001 Swedish journalist Donald Boström documented instances of skin theft from Palestinian corpses revealing a chilling aspect of this practice to the international community for the first time.
