The Media Line reports:

Accusations by a Swedish writer in the nation's largest daily newspaper that Israel's army routinely stole body parts from Palestinians it killed has sent waves of anger through diplomatic and military circles in Jerusalem. The report, which was published in the left-leaning Aftonbladet, alleged that organs were taken from Palestinian youth who were kidnapped from their homes and murdered by Israel troops who harvested their organs. The report quotes charges by Palestinian families that the bodies of their sons were returned with organs missing.

Here's a Google translation of the article from Europe News. Arutz-7 has a fulller report along with a screenshot. (Warning: gore.)

Barry Rubin observes:

What does this incident tell us? One thing is that there is no limit to the insanity of how Israel is treated nowadays in so many supposedly responsible, left-wing, and intellectual circles.

It also tells us that anyone of decency and good intentions should start re-examining right now their credulity in accepting anti-Israel slanders, nonsensical media or academic claims, or irresponsibly inaccurate "human rights" group reports.

It also tells us that Jews who criticize Israel based on what they are being taught at universities and what they see in the media need to think about what they are doing. And, yes, all this bashing and chipping away at Israel's reputation; this unfair blaming; this blindness toward the goals, behavior, and ideology of radical Islamist forces and Palestinian intransigence is promoting an antisemitism beyond anything seen in the Western world since 1945.

The time has come to realize that antisemitism, anti-Zionism, absurd misrepresentation of Israel and the effort to wipe it off the map are all tightly intertwined.

We have seen the rise of a systematic industry in wild anti-Israel claims by Palestinians which are repeated without evidence by the Western news media and others.

Meryl has more. Much more at memeorandum, plus this brilliant headline from Alarming News:

Is that before or after Israelis drop aphrodisiac drugs on them?

I did a little searching on the story and found a similar one at a website of the Historical Review Press, which, I would assume, is a Holocaust denial site. I won't link to it, but it reproduced a story with the same charges from 2002. The source? The Tehran Times.

UPDATE: I see that Elder of Ziyon got this first.
