• One organ-harvesting story a year, please. Israel found itself withholding press credentials after a Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, printed a story this week titled “Our sons are being stripped of their organs.” The claim seems pretty alarmist considering the fact that the story’s author, Donald Bostrom, admits to having no evidence of this. Rather, he’s pushing for an investigation of practices of the Israeli military in the 1990s. For its part, Israel is attacking with words, too. “This is an anti-Semitic blood libel against the Jewish people and the Jewish state,” says Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz. “The Swedish government cannot remain apathetic.” source
