Top Sweden newspaper says IDF kills Palestinians for their organs
HaAretz ^ | 8/18/09 | Morten Berthelsen and Barak Ravid

Posted on 08/18/2009 11:46:17 AM PDT by Nachum

A leading Swedish newspaper reported this week that Israeli soldiers are abducting Palestinians in order to steal their organs, a claim that prompted furious condemnation and accusations of anti-Semitic blood libel from a rival publication.

"They plunder the organs of our sons," read the headline in Sweden's largest daily newspaper, the left-leaning Aftonbladet, which devoted a double spread in its cultural section to the article.

Sounds like Sweden’s MSM is as bad as ours.

Lies>

They must be like the U.S. MSM, not truth in them.

Response-

The Foreign Ministry reacted angrily on Tuesday to the report. Ministry spokesperson Yigal Palmor said the newspaper’s decision to publish the story is “a mark of disgrace” for the Swedish press.

“In a democratic country, there should be no place for dark blood libels out of the Middle Ages of this type,” Palmor said. “This is an article that shames Swedish democracy and the entire Swedish press.”

“A Foreign Ministry official said that Israel’s embassy in Stockholm have communicated a harsh condemnation to the Swedish government and the newspaper itself.”

[. . .Palestinian claims that young men from the West Bank and Gaza Strip had been seized by the Israel Defense Forces, and their bodies returned to the families with missing organs.]

I’ve heard rumors these alleged “victims” are generally well equipped in the procreation department. If some plastic surgeon could invent a procedure to transplant those things he’d get richer than Bill Gates.

No way on earth that this is true, but if it were true, we as a nation would have to revoke our support of the State of Israel.

I’ve seen Aftonbladet. It’s a tabloid-type paper, similar to the National Enquirer, or the NY Times. It’s filled with celebrity gossip and sensationalistic “journalism”. In other words, it’s not very reliable as a news source.

On the other hand, finally a newspaper much worse than the New York Times...
