Top Swedish newspaper says Israeli troops kill Palestinians for their organs

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.

"They plunder the organs of our sons," read the headline in Sweden's largest daily newspaper, the left-leaning Aftonbladet, which devoted a double spread in its cultural section to the article. (Click here for the original article in Swedish)

The report quotes Palestinian claims that young men from the West Bank and Gaza Strip had been seized by the Israel Defense Forces, and their bodies returned to the families with missing organs.

Comment: Why is it that the idea that some section of Israeli government or society would be profiting from the sale of organs of Palestinians is decried as anti-semitic?

Is the truth anti-semitic?

The IDF attack on Gaza early this year showed the world clearly that IDF forces can kill and maim Palestinians with impunity. So if some section of Israeli society had a market for human organs, it would seem natural for such types to see the opportunity to enrich themselves under cover of an Israeli military operation.

The problem however is that the Israeli governments crimes are so grevious, that no criticism whatsoever can be contenanced for fear that the full truth might leak out. Hence the cover all nonsensical defences of "anti-semitism" and "blood libel".

Israel, as everyone knows is squeaky clean when it comes to trafficking of all sorts of things:
ISRAEL: Still a destination for human trafficking

TEL AVIV, 18 June 2009 - The latest US State Department report on trafficked persons, released on 16 June, says Israel is still a destination for men and women trafficked for forced labour and sexual exploitation.

Women from the former Soviet Union and China are still being trafficked across the border with Egypt into Israel for forced prostitution by organized criminal groups.
When considered in the context of the totality of Israeli effect on Palestine, IDF and criminal Israeli harvesting of Palestinian organs is pretty far down the list of Israel's worst crimes against the Palestinian people.

China to buy Australian coal mining company - subject to Foreign Investment Review Board

China's Yanzhou Coal Mining Co agreed to buy Australian coal miner Felix Resources Ltd for $2.9 billion, both firms said on Thursday, further underscoring China's growing appetite for resources assets.

The deal comes amid strained investment ties between the two nations, with China formally arresting four staff from Anglo-Australian miner Rio Tinto this week on accusations they stole state secrets.

China's relentless pursuit of Australian resource companies is also despite the Australian government rejecting China's state-owned Minmetals bid for distressed miner OZ Minerals Ltd this year, forcing Minmetals to submit a revised bid.

US 'involved in Honduras military coup'

The United States was involved in a military coup in Honduras that ousted President Manuel Zelaya on June 28, a top aide to Zelaya says.

Before heading to Costa Rica, the Honduran military plane that flew Zelaya into exile stopped to refuel at the Soto Cato air base (Palmerola) where at least 500 US troops are based, said Patricia Valle, the deputy foreign minister of Zelaya.

Palmerola is a Honduran air base that houses US troops who according to Washington conduct counter-narcotics operations and other missions in Central America.

"The United States was involved in the coup against Zelaya," Valle told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The aide however added that she did not believe the highest levels of the Obama administration were involved.

David Shayler, the transvestite former MI5 spy who believes he is a reincarnation of Jesus Christ, is facing forcible eviction from a 17th Century farmhouse he has been living in as a squat.

The one-time whistleblower, who uses the name Dolores Kane, has been living in the National Trust-owned Hackhurst Farm in Surrey as part of a small new age commune for the past six weeks.

But they are set to be removed after a judge agreed to a request for a possession order from the trust on Wednesday.

The 10-strong group, who have been occupying the house near the commuter village of Abinger Hammer in the North Downs since late June after being evicted from another empty farmhouse nearby, say they will barricade themselves inside as part of a plan of passive resistance.

In a hearing lasting just four minutes at Guildford County Court Judge Robert Reid QC nodded his ascent to the application which was brought against persons unknown.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

On the heels of NSA whistleblower Russell Tice's allegations of a government intelligence community that has crossed the line and trashed the constitution, Ed Encho covers a span of investigations throughout the years that reads like a Tom Clancy suspense thriller. Only it's real.

The first is from November 08, available here.
EM: In fact, you know, when the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001, they claimed that there were over twenty 'terrorist training camps' as they called them, they were all training terrorists to go and attack America. Well, this is an absolute lie. One among many.

Most of the training camps, 90% of the people in the training camps were either Kashmiris being trained by Pakistani Intelligence Service, the ISI, with full American knowledge, to go an fight in Kashmir against Indian rule. That was the biggest group, and the second biggest group were people from Central Asia, mainly Uzbekistan and Khazakistan and Tajikistan who were being organized and trained to go and fight these dreadful communist regimes of Central Asia, again with full American knowledge.

Oops! MI5 "accidentally" recruited al-Qaida sympathisers

Image
© UnknownThe British Government has long been recruiting 'sympathisers' and training them to become useful patsies for state terror operations such as 7/7 London bombings. Here are two of them: Abu Hamza and Haroon Aswat in a London cab.
A senior Tory MP today called for an investigation into whether MI5 mistakenly recruited al-Qaida sympathisers.

Patrick Mercer, the chairman of the counter-terrorism subcommittee, said six Muslim recruits had been thrown out of the service because of serious concerns over their pasts.

The MP said he was writing to the home secretary, Alan Johnson, to call for an investigation into the matter.

Two of the six men allegedly attended al-Qaida training camps in Pakistan while the others had unexplained gaps of up to three months in their CVs.

China: Uighur leader says 10,000 went missing in one night

Nearly 10,000 Uighurs involved in deadly riots in China's northwestern Xinjiang region went missing in one night, exiled Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer said Wednesday, calling for an international investigation.

Kadeer's visit to Tokyo was condemned by China. The vice foreign minister summoned the Japanese ambassador in Beijing to express China "strong dissatisfaction" and to "demand the Japanese government take effective action to stop her anti-China, splittist activities in Japan," the Foreign Ministry said.

In Xinjiang's worst ethnic violence in decades, Uighurs on July 5 attacked Han Chinese in the regional capital of Urumqi after police tried to break up a protest against fatal attacks on Uighur workers at a factory in south China.

Israel says it will use "all available means" to stop Iranian nukes

Jerusalem - Israel hardened its insistence Monday that it would do anything it felt necessary to stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb, just the ultimatum the United States hoped not to hear as it tried to nudge Iran to the bargaining table.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates reassured Israel that the new Obama administration was not naive about Iran's intentions, and that Washington would press for new, tougher sanctions against the Iranians if they balk. He didn't say what those might include.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak used a brief news conference with Gates to insist three times that Israel would not rule out any response - an implied warning that it would consider a pre-emptive strike to thwart Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.


Comment: Actually, it's worse than what AP says. What Israel is saying in diplomatic code-speak, is that they reserve the right to launch a nuclear attack on Iran.
