Anti-Semitic contagion…from Sweden to Algeria
Well that’s not the kind of headline you’d have seen a few years ago. But the times they are a changing. Contemporary Europe is not merely competing with anti-Semitic bigotry in the countries of the Muslim world, it is now exporting it to them.
In the wake of the story in Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper last month which suggested that Israeli soldiers were involved in an international conspiracy to harvest the bodily organs of Palestinian children, it now appears that stories are rife across the Middle East that Jews and Israelis are harvesting the organs of Algerian children too.
The Jerusalem Post reports today that the story surfaced in Algeria’s Al-Khabar newspaper. According to the report, gangs of Moroccans and Algerians have been sweeping through the streets of Algerian cities and hunting down children who are then slaughtered and dismembered so their bodily organs can be sold to American Jews and Israelis.
According to the Post, the source of the allegations appears to be Dr. Mustafa Khayatti, head of the Algerian National Committee for the Development of Health Research who is quoted as saying:
“The arrest of Jewish organ trafficking gangs does not mean that the danger has gone; top officials and specialists in this issue assert that there are other Jewish gangs who remain active in several Arab countries.”
Iran’s Press TV, now a feature in living rooms across Europe, has apparently picked up on the story with glee. It is also being disseminated widely across the Middle East.
Sweden, its press and its government can be mightily proud of their achievements. Sweden will be remembered for something more than Abba after all.

Of course, those individuals representing the forces of darkness will tell us that none of this could possibly be motivated by anti-Semitism. With that in mind, I couldn’t help but get a laugh out of Jimmy Carter’s latest outburst:
Carter: Racism plays major role in opposition to Obama
‘ “I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African-American,” Carter told NBC News.’

Now check out Carter’s response to a charge of anti-Semitism:
‘When Carter was on C-span to talk about the book, a caller accused him of being an anti-Semite (you can join the many who watched their exchange on U-Tube here) and was quickly stopped by the host (Hey, where’s this Jewish guy who controls the media when we really need him?). However, Carter wanted to answer the caller, and what he basically said is this: All I’ve been doing for last 20 years is to try and bring peace to Israel.’

I hope no one expects me to join the dots here.

I understand that these stickers depicting human organs with the words “See here Semite” and a price sticker have started appearing all over Sweden:
