Is that before or after Israelis drop aphrodisiac drugs on them?
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.
I love the part where Palestinians claim boys are being abducted, having their organs harvested and then returned to their families. If you're going to make up idiotic sounding stories, at least make them plausible. Of course, didn't stop a left-leaning Swedish paper from reprinting that nonsense.

As a European, it shames me to see that the age old blood libel myths still exist. There's a lot of deliberately ignorant people in this world, no?

But how exciting, Sweden was relevant for 4 minutes today - progress!

Well, let's be honest...we know they're not doing it out of "ignorance," as one self-identifying Euro commenter insists.
The international left wingers hate Israel, thus they're merely carrying out a very straight forward campaign against Israel---a campaign that has been conducted in light of day among media, academia, and most notably by the United Nations and Amnesty International.
Additionally, there's a big immigrant Muslim population in Sweden, and the lefties know that particular demographic eats up all that "Jews are doing black magic !" kind of talk.
The Euros---and particularly the Swedes---have always tried to project themselves as uber-sophisticated and uber-enlightened.
That's where the Nobel Peace prize is awarded from...yet it is the place where they publish goofy 1950s B-Movie science fiction narratives starring those "pesky" Jews as the enemy.
Yes, you're correct. The Jews are innocent and never do anything evil!
Is it good for the Jews?
