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.

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.

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.

The ellipses are a clue...also the ridiculousness of the remark. I responded to you because I quite frequently make similar sorts of remarks and almost never use a sarcasm tag.

Yep, the remark was outlandish and intended to be sarcastic. That’s how I read it.

Not that we haven’t had a few anti-Israel trolls over the years.

I know for a fact they only kill them to steal the living bacteria in their beards.

They then colonize them and put them in their septic tanks.

It’s been awhile but rwc 2001 was a serial anti-Israel poster.

Always a hit piece on Israel or Jews.

It’s usually a Liberty thread that tears that scab open again.

Sorry, I am sure most swedes are wonderful people, but Boström deserves to be slowly cooked in a large pot of manure and then fed to pigs.

And thats as charitable as I can get for Boström, who as far as I am concerned is an *sslicker of jihad who incites arabs to kill jews.

Ask me how I really feel and I will be banned.
