Jan Helin
the editor of Atdonbladet,
Stockholm, Sweden.
Dear Mr. Helin,
Concerning the article "Israeli Soldiers Stole Organs", I would like to express my concern and wrath for the article's writer, Donald Bostorm. You may think I'm not very objective since I'm Israeli, but I have no doubt that this article is completely false and unfounded.
I think Bostorm's publication of this article will hurt his journalistic career. How can an authorized, well-known writer publish such a controversial article just because some Palestinian women told him a false story? Even if the story is true, he should first check the details and confirm them, and then publish the article.
Plus, I have no doubt that the story is false. I find it foolish and in a way, pathetic. It is true that sometimes we treat our "neighbors" with disrespect (most of the times, for the right reasons), but blaming our nation's elite, our protecting soldiers, with such a blood libel? Stealing organs for no good reason? That wouldn't even be believed in a fictive book. This is ridiculous and sad at the same time, and is very surprising to find an article like this coming from an enlightened state like Sweden.
I think the Swedish president is not the one to apologize for the horrible article, you are the one to be apologizing. The Aftonbaldet is not just an insignificant periodical; it is the leading newspaper in Sweden, which features an anti-Israeli article, which is just unnatural!
Me, and the entire state of Israel, expect your sincere apology, Mr. Helin!
Sincerely yours,
Omer Cohen.
Very inspiring Omer!
