UPDAT--Swedish Newspaper Stands Behind Blood Libel:

[1]Ha'aretz:
Asa Linderborg, an editor of the newspaper's culture section which
printed the story, told Haaretz that the publication "stands behind
the demand for an international inquiry [regarding Israel's alleged
body-snatching]."
"We had many discussions on whether to publish the article or not,
and to the best of my knowledge, there are no facts there that are
incorrect," Linderborg said.
Right, because it's inherently plausible that Israeli soldiers kidnap
young Palestinians, steal their organs, and then return them to their
families, sans organs.
And the world's tiniest violin award goes to the author of the
article, who tells Ha'aretz, "I'm very sad to hear people accuse me of
anti-Semitism."
