Swedish paper tells of Palestinians killed to harvest organs
Leading Swedish daily Aftonbladet claimed in one of its articles that Israeli soldiers killed Palestinians in order to trade in their organs. The report mentioned Brooklyn resident Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, who is accused of involvement in the recent human organ-trafficking case that caused a storm in the US and Israel . The report said Palestinians claim youngsters were forced to give up theirs before being executed. This suspicion, the report said, may lead to an international war crimes investigation against Jewish state. Aftonbladet also said Palestinian youths who were snatched from their villages in the middle of the night were buried after being dismembered. The reporter, Donald Boström, said he was informed of the alleged atrocities by UN employees while he was working on a book in the West Bank.
According to Bostrom, a Palestinian from Nablus who for a number of years headed stone-throwing attacks against IDF soldiers was shot to death in May because he interfered with the activity of the "Israeli conquering forces" Aftonbladet published a photo of the body, which had a scar running from the face down to the stomach. In his article Bostrom quoted a number of Palestinians as saying that their children were killed by IDF soldiers for their organs.

Poem: Take me away

Take Me Away

Take me away from this place of ignorance
And into the veiled river-ridden lands
With waters gushing from the fountain of truth
Instoring knowledge so that man understands.

Save me from the throbbing of idle chatter
Emitted by the throngs of sheep -
The masses walking with eyes shut close,
Looking awake yet deep they sleep.

I await the shepherd to direct the flock,
Out from the gloomy fog-strewn night,
Drowning our hearts with tales of deceit,
And into the garden, spilling with light.

The yearn of my heart echoes through my mind,
Take me; carry me; fly me away
Lead me to the lost locket of wisdom
So that I may reside and not go astray.

Yet I remain in this prison ruled by men and kings-
safe in their haughty towers built up tall
Fooling themselves with whispers of the devil,
Arrogance deceiving one and all.

Take me to the lake of humility I beg,
Where thirst is quenched my humble hearts;
Sincerity blossoms from the springs of knowledge
And justice prevails – neither ends nor starts.

Take me away from this place of ignorance,
Let the lake of tranquillity gently bathe me
Fly me towards this hidden garden,
And for once let my heart and mind be free

By a brother Yasmin Mahomed (Aged 16)
