Blodspengar

Donald Boström, som skrev i Aftonbladet om påstådda israeliska stölder av palestiniers organ, har fått Algeriska journalistförbundets hederspris, enligt Al Arabiya en summa motsvarande 5000 dollar. Han befinner sig på en turné som också gör anhalt i Egypten, Jordanien och Syrien.

I Algeriet träffade Boström också flera höga representanter för den algeriska staten, såsom premiärminister Abdelaziz Belkhadem, som prisade hans journalistik.

Det visar sig att Boström är en stor inspiration för arabvärldens journalistkår. Exempelvis har man i Algeriet nu en egen organstöldsstory, vars spridning understöds av statens representanter som del i hjärntvätten av den förtryckta befolkningen (Algeriet ligger på plats 121 i pressfrihetsindex). Al Manar:

The organ theft scandal in Israel is likely to have a domino effect as similar crimes by Israeli organizations in the Arab world have been unearthed; an international zionist conspiracy to kidnap Algerian children and harvest their organs.

The story was first reported by Algeria's Al-Khabar daily which revealed that bands of Moroccans and Algerians have allegedly been roaming the streets of Algeria's cities kidnapping young children, who are then transported across the border into Morocco. From the Moroccan city of Oujda, the children are then purportedly sold to Israelis and American Jews, who then harvest their organs for sale in Israel and the United States. The organs are said to fetch anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000.

Dr. Mustafa Khayatti, head of the Algerian National Committee for the Development of Health Research, has linked the crime to the group of pro-Israeli US politicians and rabbis who were arrested recently in New York. But Khayati warned that although “these Jewish organ trafficking gangs have been arrested, other such gangs remain active in several Arab countries.” The Iranian Press TV linked the gang to Israeli Rabbi Levi Rosenbaum who was recently arrested in New Jersey for his direct role in illegal human organs trade.
Åsa Linderborg känner sig säkert stolt över att hennes kultursidas story – som hon själv medger inte håller – nu göder antisemitismen i hela arabvärlden.
