In an amazing story, a prominent Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, printed a story accusing IDF stories of intentionally killing PA (Palestinian Authority) residents to trade their organs, accusing the IDF of organ theft. The article has resulting in a scathing response from Israel Foreign Ministry officials.
The report speaks of an international investigation against the IDF for illegal trafficking in body parts, actually adding that since 2000; approximately 50% of all kidneys used in organ transplants in Israel were purchased illegally, obtained from Latin America, E. Europe and Turkey.
The newspaper correspondent, Donald Boström, reported that PA residents were buried in the middle of the night after being dismembered for their organs, stating he obtained his information from UN officials operating in PA areas.
Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor calls on all Swedish citizens who “hold democracy dear” to come out publicly in total rejection of the outlandish report.

Of course, now a blood libel courtesy of the Palestinians and the Swedes.

Hashem yishmor. Let’s do what we can, ‘loh la’amod al alilat dam re’enu.’
Editor: Let the photo fit the article. Why would you put a picture that seems to reinforce the accusation?
The State of Israel should sue the newspaper and the authors for libel. Only then can this matter be put to rest. If they do not sue, it will appear to the world as “Shtikah K’Hoda’ah”.
gosh, even the ‘palestinians’ themselves had not accused the IDF of this.
not only that, but in all the negative reports written by various groups about the cast lead operation – such as by the u.n and amnesty international, this was one story they forgot to mention…
Good reporting! This is important news.
We know we can trust the UN (!) so it’s unfortunate that it was unnamed “UN officials operating in PA areas.” Those officials should not be unnamed: let them take ALL the credit for bringing to light this horrific practice.
I just wonder: how the IDF can target the proper PA residents?
After all, didn’t Israel also (1) create HIV (2) deliberately infect Palestinian children with HIV (3) commit germ warfare against the Palestinians (4) commit chemical warfare against the Palestinians (5) distribute gum to Palestinian youth so that they would become sexually active (6) etc.
Seems awfully risky to harvest those contaminated organs.
And let’s see how ubs selects the names they produce.
