I am laughing my guts out!!!! What a disgusting, pathetic, silly people you israelis are! If the swedish article about the organs was completely wrong, then why didn't israelis ignore it? ? Isn't it logical to ignore BS rather than writing such a counter article...it is very funny though, taking the fungus from someone's feet to enhance the taste of salmon, LOL! Were do you guys come up with these hilarious comic stories from? Oh, i forgot, when the whole world is against you, when everyone hates you, you become really desperate and...funny!

4. Swedish Salmon
Roseanne ,   Dallas, USA   (08.24.09)
I knew it! as a yute, I enjoyed Swedish salmon and loved the taste. Now to find out the horrible truh! Those poor fishermen/women! What a horrible society these Swedes must be! Have they no shame?! They are just so corrupt! To what end will they deny thier crimes and lies? The whole world is screaming for justice. When will we (the world) be rid of these foul lies and attain justice? Roseanne
5. Great translation!
Zaki ,   Jerusalem   (08.24.09)
I'm glad Ynet decided to translate this one. You can argue that the premise is childish, but it still made me laugh. Wallahi!
6. #4 Roseanne look at you ;)
Wildmandxb ,   M.E.   (08.24.09)
you actually believed this article? HAH! Just explains how gullible you Americans are! Pathetic and naive!
7. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. May you be
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.24.09)
blessed for your sense of justice and your sense of humor and your sense of honesty for revealing it as satire. Sadly, the Jew hating swedes are still being very serious.
8. Funny
Ali ,   Washington DC   (08.24.09)
cheap shot back at sweden for the organ theft scandal. Now ask yourself Israelis, could there ever be corrupt elements in the army and medical fields who are so low and corrupt that they're capable of committing the alledged crime? Yes. Any Israeli that is true to themselves and knows their society well, knows in their heart it's realistically possible. The swedish accusations are not towards the Israeli govt. but towards the crime itself which likely took place with the aid of men in IDF uniforms and Magon Adom. Follow the money trail and find the truth.
9. To 1, Do you know what a catch 22 is?
The Dude   (08.24.09)
"If the swedish article about the organs was completely wrong, then why didn't israelis ignore it?" So what would you be saying if Israel ignored it? That Israel is simply trying to bury the problem? Ignore it away? The reason they are not responding is because they have no evidence to prove it wrong? The fact is, with anti-semites like you, it doesn't matter. If Israel fights back, it must have something to hide, if Israel doesn't it must have no proof to counter to this and therefore is also guilty. Please go stuff it. The fact is that this writer is using wit and sarcasm to show that libelous articles (just to translate for you, false and damaging), can be made in a whim with no regard to facts, evidence, or logic. Anyways I have to go back to not treating women as second class citizens, not doing honor killings on women just because she owns a cellphone, not raping a woman because she shows just a little skin therefore 'forcing me' to take her and etc. I'm a bit busy going into the 21st century. Apparently you and the Swedes are still busy trying to go back to the Dark Ages.
10. Sweden

shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (08.24.09)
Do you blame us? This kind of crap has been going on for thousands of years. We take it seriously because the majority of your community DOES, and we know what they do to Jews after such a report.
12. #9 Dude:
Wildmandxb ,   M.E.   (08.24.09)
look at you, you just proved my point regarding israeli mentality. by the way, you don't need to translate to me as my english language is perfectly fine, might be more superior than yours...Anyway, your last statements about being busy going into the 21st century , rape and honor killings Bla Bla Bla ...just shows how close minded you and people like you are...Your media exposes a couple of stories about the above issues you mentioned and then you assume that everyone of us attains the same attitude don't you? IS your society perfect...free of crime? free of rape? i think not!!! check your facts Dude Boy before jumping into debates that might be a bit challenging for your mind!
13. Interesting responses from our Swedish friends
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (08.24.09)
The whole "Jews steal Arab organs" thing was lifted from a Turkish anti-American and anti-Semitic movie called "Valley of the wolves". Anyone who has even a vaguest and remotely objective idea about the workings of the Israeli military would understand just how ridiculous these allegations are. But it seems that one cannot expect a sound judgment from people who once nominated Hitler for Nobel Peace Prize.

Look who is stupid and naive. You can't even see Roseanne is being sarcastic. How pathetic you are.
15. Dear Wildmandxb
Miranda Rose Smith   (08.24.09)
If the appropriate response to BS is to ignore it, why are there defamation laws.? Dear Editors: THANKS!!!!!!!
16. well written
Yakov ,   Australia   (08.24.09)
thought it was pretty funny
17. Wildmandxb, M.E.
Joan ,   Haifa   (08.24.09)
So, you've never heard of irony or sarcasm?
18. Priceless!
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (08.24.09)
19. Corroborated by real (not bogus) news...
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (08.24.09)
"six feet washed ashore on beaches in British Columbia's Georgia Strait beginning in August of 2007" (Canadian Press). If the article hadn't been self-identified as bogus, those desiring to believe it would no doubt have pointed to the above news items as "proof." Even the most ridiculous conspiracy theories find a home in the minds of some--who then find "proof" their conspiracy theories are right. No amount of factual reality changes their minds.
20. I guess the reason why people find the Israeli response...
The Dude   (08.24.09)
Unreasonable is that we simply didn't act like the Muslim nations and populations of Europe. See in Israel we acted completely barbaric by demanding through official channels an apology and ridiculing the article. Instead we should act like those civilized Muslim populations, and go out rioting in the streets of Stockholm. Burning every government building we can find and sending numerous death threats to the authors and editors and forcing them under constant police surveillance and even requiring Brodstorm to go live in a military base. Yes we can act civilized too!
21. Swedens secret
Sheila ,   Israel   (08.24.09)
Good for you!
22. yes i know it is true
rashid ,   palistinian   (08.24.09)

23. Traditional Socialist propaganda
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (08.24.09)
When I was a teenager in the Soviet Union, they used to tell us how American soldiers would give booby-trapped toys to children in Afghanistan. Cause you know those bloodthirsty imperialists – unless they kill a child or two they consider the day wasted. I guess nothing changes with our friends on the Left.
24. Very Funny!!
Christy ,   Boston, US   (08.24.09)
25. I love Sweden
Hanna Mohammadson ,   Darlana, Sverige   (08.24.09)
I am Palestinian, Swedish, Semite, Arab and have Jewish roots and I can say nothing but: I LOVE SWEDEN and so proud of being a citizen of this country after you Zionists made my parents stateless and refugee. It feels good to know that we (Palestinian Swedes) are making a difference in our Swedish society by telling our friends and colleagues about reality in Palestine. :-) This article is just so funny and show how panicking you are!
26. Stupid article
Shalom   (08.24.09)
Idiotic "journalism"; truly makes YNet into the gutter press
27. whaaaaaaat? this is childish you want
ghostq   (08.24.09)
to revenge the swedish so you publish article on the norwigen, nice move, grow up just because they r racists it doesn't mean you should be one don't stoop so low.
28. Dirty secret - Clean secret ??
john   (08.24.09)
Now I am all confused ; with this phenomenal Wire traffic over the air wave between Sweden and Planet earth -- on just One subject : Organs, fish or human. True or false, right or wrong, this smelly " scoop " from Sweden, obviously, does reflect on the veracity of their Govt.. Just in case; just to be sure, enjoy ' gravlax from Norway, Finland, Denmark.
29. Don't forget
Dave ,   Tel Aviv   (08.24.09)
While this article is stupid and shouldn't have been published, it is clearly labeled an "opinion" piece, while the Swedish libel was a "report".
30. Tell me these are not double standards?
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (08.24.09)
Someone writes an article to show you that the whole "organ stealing Israelis" idea is ridiculous and was concocted by those motivated solely by their hate for my people and how do you respond? You call it idiotic and childish.
