It seems that a Swedish newspaper is calling for an investigation into reports that Jewish soldiers were harvesting organs from dead Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead last January.
When contacted by CNN, Sweden's Foreign Office had no comment on the report, which was published Tuesday night, only saying that they "have free media" in Sweden.
And more;
He said Ghanem's (a Palestinian) body was taken away and returned several days later by the Israeli military with a cut in his midsection that had been stitched up. Ghanem's family said they believed that his organs had been removed.
After that incident, at least 20 Palestinian families told Bostrom that they suspected the Israeli military had taken the organs of their sons after they had been killed by Israeli forces, and their bodies taken away -- presumably for routine autopsies.

Let's reflect on a few things; there were multiple arrests in New Jersey last week that did involve organ trafficking and did have Jewish Rabbis involved....so I am not going to comment on the accusations at all.
However, I do think it's interesting that there appears to be a double standard going on in Sweden.....who has no problem defending the free press on this Israeli accusation but would not publish cartoons about Muhammad because it may have lead to Muslim rioting...and could have hurt some people's feelings.
And finally, whether this turns out to be true or false....it will be a building block on the anti-semitism that is building towards a boiling point.
