A leading Swedish newspaper reported this week that Israeli soldiers are abducting Palestinians to steal their organs, prompting furious condemnation and accusations of an anti-Semitic blood libel from the Foreign Ministry and a rival Swedish 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.

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