31. #11 - Gene - Sounds like you already made up your mind
William ,   Israel   (08.24.09)
The autopsy supposedly made by the IDF was also an accusation by the family. How do you know it even happened? How do you know the photo of the body with stitches was even their son? Pals are notorious for including Pals that died of natural causes or other means in the death count caused by IDF troops, sometimes inflated by 400%!! It sounds like you already made up your mind so a formal denial would not make a difference. Actually, making a formal denial would solidify in the minds of lemmings like yourself that Israel was guilty by giving the claim credibility. It's best to formally call people like you racist retards and move on with our lives.
32. #17 - If Sweden believes anti-semitism from ME conflict...
William ,   Israel   (08.24.09)
would they accept cursing of Arabs and Muhammed in Synagogues across their country? I doubt it. Infact, it'd be purposely given high media attention and "those Jews" would be made an example of.
33. #15 hahaha I love it ...

34. Libel vs. Freedom
Jason ,   USA   (08.24.09)
I am not clear why Sweden and others declare this to be a freedom of speech issue. The Swedish paper wrote two articles with false accusations, which makes them libel. Since when has libel been part of freedom of speech? In every other free nation, libel is illegal.

Why IDF should produce autopsy report based on some moronic article? Imagine yourself someone spread the rumors that you are pedofile and have a child porn on your computer (hypothetically speaking),would you or should you run around the town with your computer and try to prove to everyone that this is a lie??
36. Gene in GeneG:Your comment proves the point
Arie ,   BaGolan   (08.24.09)
How easy it is to promote a blood libel and why those that hate Jews have used it so effectively for centuries. The vatican's allegations since the 12th century of Jews throwing christian kids in wells to poison them or blood needed for Matzot; the protocols accusations of mass killings by Jews;spanish inquisition charges of Jews poisoning wells; hitler with mein kampf;the swiss with their support of nazi blood libels and now the swedes! As for formal denials, obviously you read what you want to again proving my point as to your intent. And finally, I see it is ok for the US constitution to be proper in demanding innocent until the ACCUSER proves otherwise...unless of course the accused is a Jew, after which the Jew must prove he is innocent. Welcome to Gene's version of the new inquisition!
37. swedish media/ what about race biology
me ,   stockholm   (08.24.09)
swedish media you all have to know its a vulgar pornografic sort of journalism, this people have absolutelly no controll over their antisemitism, they have personal issues...the ones that are writing all this difamations that cant be prove and are pure arabic antisemitism it's just an exemple of the level of intelligens this people really posses...it will be hurd but israel should brake all realation to this country because simple they will not stop this people are cougards, power hungry control maniacs ...familiar? but with the only differency they could start a jewish persecution in europe and until jews start to be murder or ever they will realize, and their goverments that yez this is enough and they should do something about this difamation of a whole country and their citizends what the swedish dont understand its, in Israel everybody knows what everybody else its doing, but maybe not feeling..in any case, swedish people are embarresing antisemitic anti israeli anti jewish anti forerners anti everything that is not the result of their eugenic experiment starting back in the 1920 and given to the entirer world as the if not only really generous contribution swedes have given away for free to others than themselves. Their Medical School are based on Crimes to Humanity, thats why they believe jews in israel are taking organs from arabs and who knows they may think we eat themm two...why not, or drink their blod for kidush, neverdelles to say how many palestinians have being educated in israel and now are dr in israeli hospitals and nurses aswell...arabs-palestinians, the swedes forget there are in the israeli army not only jews serving but cristians aswell etc...etc...etc... did they ever stop with eugenetics-infetilization of lonely refugees women...today how dark its their own backyard do you think...it is very very dark! just cut the relationship now! it is an excellent opportunity
38. If you repeat the lie often enough, people will begin to ...
Ron B. ,   Lod   (08.24.09)
If you repeat the lie often enough, people will begin to believe it. The hatred of Jews has always been protean, readily revising itself to reflect the idiom of its age. At times, it targeted Jews for their religion, demonizing them as Christ-killers or enemies of the true faith. In our day, Jew-hatred expresses itself overwhelmingly in national terms: It is the Jewish state that the haters are obsessed with. “What anti-Semitism once did to Jews as people, it now does to Israel as a state,” the British commentator Melanie Phillips has written. “First it wanted the Jewish religion, and then the Jews themselves, to disappear; now it wants the Jewish state to disappear.” As to Sweden and anti-Semitism : http://xrl.us/beiqsm

and let Volvo cars rust on the shelves !!!
40. Irresponsible Reporting
Cynthia ,   USA   (08.24.09)
A second article and Aftonbladet has presented no facts to support an allegation of organ harvesting. The writers should familarize themselves with what occurs during an autopsy before they spin the story and make themselves look stupid. As a result of this misinformation, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinians and Hizbullah are repeating the same lies. Disappointing to see such trash in the Swedish press.
41. to #39 the lefty sound mad what if thos were
ghostq   (08.24.09)
palis who publisize the article would you say the same? someone here is a tad hypocrite. we all know the pali sell their imaginary stories and the antisemetic country like sweden grabe those stories with both hands.
42. to #37 it's get worse the swedish troops r in Israel
ghostq   (08.24.09)
Swedes forget that there is swedish soldiers serving in Israel and they r more likly to get hurt by palis than Israelis witch means they r sending their relatives to serve with people whom they hate(there is full cooperation between the two armies) it's like labeling their own troops. sigh... the stupidity.
43. Israelies...
moi ,   TA   (08.24.09)
"It's a shame that the Swedish Foreign Ministry fails to intervene in a case of blood libels against Jews"...Prime Minister Netanyahu said... why he uses the word Jews allways, we are Israelies. Israeli is a nationality, Jewish is a religion, seems people get all the time confused, special Israelies, please call its citizines Israelies, no matter which religion they have....these articles has nothing to do with anti-semite, it accuses the Israeli Army....has nothing to do with religion...
44. send the swedish ambassador home!!

45. re: "condemnation" why?
Hillary ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (08.24.09)
Your right of freedom of speech is only granted when what you are telling is the truth. Not when a national newspaper spreads lies.
46. Sad Israelis
Wildmandxb ,   M.E.   (08.24.09)
you guys are sad, disgustingly sad! look at the comment #15, i mean how desperate can one be inorder to write such repulsive statements...read all the other ones, shame on you people, you just proved to the whole world what israelis are, it takes a small touch on the button to start a hate fest from your side. Disgusting!
47. Who harvested Aftonbladet's brain?
Ron   (08.24.09)
Business must be slow and now all the Swedes will read YNET instead. Serves them right.
48. #26 how profound- and wrong!
Lisa   (08.24.09)
Frankie from New Herstal in Texas- what do you know? You don't live here in Europe- you live next to Mexico :)
49. Israel has also to apologize to Swede
observer   (08.24.09)
the Israeli out-of-proportion response pushed the journalist who wrote it, Daniel Bostrom, to the front of the stage and into the heart of the Swedish mainstream.
50. Disturbing
Nansouty ,   Bordeaux, France   (08.24.09)
As A Frenchman, and a citizen of a democratic country, my take is that pressuring the Sweedish government into condemning the newspaper is pointless. The only action of the Israeli government should be to sue the offending journalist themselves and bring him to trial. That would force him to present proofs of his allegations, or face condemnation. That apparently this is not the course chosen by the Israeli government is extremely disturbing.
51. swedish libel against israel
izwick ,   NYC   (08.24.09)
This just that the strong Israeli and Jewish response to the original article only encouraged them to write more. The newspaper gained publicity an readership from this. They thrive on controversy, even if it is at the expense of Jews. A simple denial would have been the best response, the paper presente dno evidence to support the allegations.
52. to #49 muslims also need to apologize for
ghostq   (08.24.09)
the riots they did in sweden. only fair don't you think.
53. serious charges are getting a frivilous response
seth ,   deering usa   (08.24.09)
Avoiding the issue by crying "Antisemitism" reinforces the organ harvesting charge. An international inquiry is needed with subpoena power and the full backing of the Israeli government.. The Israeli medical establishment has a history of racist criminality. In the late 40s & early 50s there were rumors of Israeli doctors telling Yemeni Jewish parents that their baby was stillborn and then selling the child to Israeli and American Jewish childless couples of a higher economic status. It was an anti-Semitic canard and a blood libel mostly propagated by self-hating Jews! Then it was proven in court to be true. Recent arrests in Romania of Israelis accused of human egg harvesting and of rabbis in the US accused of organ trafficking should give pause for reflection, could it be true? In the above context the accusation is credible. But it just an accusation at this point. The Swedish paper is going far out on a limb. Are they holing back information to allow the present fascist regime in Israel the rope to hang itself with? They do seem confident. There could be some very rotten eggs in the IDF and Tel Aviv hospitals.
54. Sweden
Israel reacts softly ,   stockholm   (08.24.09)
Israel should cut up the realtionship to a country like sweden...it has to be done now without hasitation, the swedes could not being enyoing more than anything than humiliating Israelis and Jews in general...in a country there you have a lady with 8 bebies in her refrigirator and nobody noticed anything until ceveral years later it's a scarry mentality is it not? okey so the bodies of palestinians look like drug mules to me than anything else, and knowing that all the ttraffiking its coming from the muslims countries well Israel should cut up the realationship with countries like sweden there the local police are the big shot drug dealers...scarry...scarry the swedish goverment couldent care less about giving their country guidance, it's all about the image and the money?
55. Organ harvesting
Dave ,   Needham USA   (08.24.09)
Would love it if someone could put this in as a comment on Aftonbladet's page--I can't decipher the Swedish: I'm an ICU nurse who's prepared brain-dead and cardiac-dead people for organ recovery. One thing you need is preparation, and another is speed. Organs in a dead body are only good for so long; the heart has to still be pumping in order to recover more than kidneys. Kidneys can be recovered after heartbeat has stopped but all the tests and recovery ("harvesting") have to be done within an hour. This is all pretty impractical in a battle situation. Then you need an otherwise healthy donor. Anyone who's been shot is at risk for tetanus, which makes for a dangerous donor. Or, compare Aftonbladet's blood libel to the other anti-Israeli propaganda, that Israeli policies keep Palestinians from getting healthcare. So you'd have a bunch of Palestinians running around with horrible infectious diseases till they get to be organ donors. Those diseases would also rule out donation. So which is it, anti-Israeli hypocrites: does Israel prevent Palestinian healthcare, or harvest Palestinian organs? Can't have it both ways.
56. Israel
Peter ,   USA   (08.25.09)
Israel and its people should be ashamed of themselves. It seems there is nothing they won't do to torture the Palestinians and grab the rest of their land.
57. JDF is watching you
D ,   Belgium   (08.25.09)
Remember dont say 1 bad word bout Isreal or yr anti semite.They (ab)use WW2 for everytthing they do.It has 2 end
58. Stop bleating you hypocrites.
Phineas ,   New Zealand   (08.25.09)
So Jews are running around with unkosher Palestinian hearts, lungs livers and kidneys. Or, as the talmud says: Animal guts! How hypocritical are Jews?
