Sweden has turned down a demand that it condemn the recent publication of an article that links Israeli soldiers to the death of Palestinian civilians with the motive of obtaining their organs.

In an article published earlier in the week, Sweden's best-selling daily Aftonbladet recounted grotesque incidents dating as far back as 1992 in which Israeli soldiers allegedly abducted Palestinian youths and returned their bodies mutilated a few days later.

The publication infuriated Israeli officials who labeled the news piece as 'blatantly racist' and full of 'vile anti-Semitic themes'.

In response to the publication, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman called on his Swedish counterpart, Carl Bildt, to officially rebut the 'shocking and appalling' piece.

Tel Aviv's envoy to Sweden, Benny Dagan, was to make a similar request during a Friday meeting with the kingdom's deputy foreign minister.

Bildt, however, responded that he would not condemn the article, asserting that such a measure would be in violation of freedom of expression and counter to the Swedish constitution.

Shah Gholam,

 

IRI is really professional in brainwashing, isn’t it? look at you, simply clueless.

 

So America where in it denying the Holocaust is not a crime and where Israeli flag is burned and where David Duke, the infamous anti Israeli, and others speak out everyday bashing Israel, is more “pro Israel” than Europe, where Holocaust denial is a crime? Interesting!

 

This sick conspiracy theory about “Zionists taking over America” is a myth and it exists only in delusional minds! And only delusional individuals believe in myths!
