Anatomy of a Swedish Blood Libel
[Wall Street Journal] Andrea Levin - The Aug. 17 story by Donald Bostrom in Sweden's Aftonbladet has quickly metastasized to mainstream Muslim media, spawning cartoons of Jews stealing body parts and drinking Arab blood published in Syria, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, to name a few. In September, Algeria's al-Khabar claimed that Jewish-directed gangs of Algerians and Moroccans rounded up Algerian children and spirited them to Israel to have their body parts harvested and sold. On Sept. 17, Iran's PressTV breathlessly declared: "An international Jewish conspiracy to kidnap children and harvest their organs is gathering momentum."
