Via Honest Reporting: Time Magazine Accuses IDF of Stealing Palestinian Organs
UPDATE: Within hours of our publication of this article, Time Magazine removed the allegation that Israeli soldiers had stolen Palestinian organs from their video. Further coverage at Times of Israel.
Time Magazine should be ashamed for giving new life to a horrendous blood libel accusing the IDF of stealing Palestinian organs.
In the middle of a video about the Israeli military, we are told that the “IDF is not without controversy.”
Their example?….in 2009 a Swedish report came out exposing some Israeli troops of selling organs of Palestinians who died in their custody….
The reference is to a completely made up tabloid style article in an obscure Swedish paper, that even the author admitted was not based on any evidence….
Via Times of Israel: Time retracts IDF organ harvesting allegation
Time magazine retracted allegations that Israeli soldiers harvested and sold Palestinian organs.
On Sunday, the magazine deleted the allegations from a two-minute video on its website about the Israel Defense Forces and added a correction, writing at the end, “Correction: The original version of this video cited a contested allegation in a 2009 Swedish newspaper report as fact. The allegation has been removed from the video.”
Thank you for posting this, robscaffe. I thought the craven, lying-Leftist media could not get any worse. I was wrong.
To say “this video cited a contested allegation in a 2009 Swedish newspaper report as fact” is not a retraction, merely an equivocation. A retraction would state that the allegation had no factual basis, not that it had been “contested”.
