The Im Tirtzu organization has planned a demonstration in front of the Swedish embassy in Tel Aviv Monday afternoon to protest the Swedish government's refusal to condemn articles in the afternoon tabloid Aftonbladet claiming that Jewish soldiers murdered Arabs from the Palestinian Authority in order to sell their internal organs. The slogan for the demonstration is, "We will not be silent in the face of this anti-Semitic blood libel."
Activists from the group said Sunday evening that "We will make the voice of the people of Israel heard against the blood libel of the Swedish newspaper and the Swedish government's thundering silence and funding [of the article -ed.]." They added that the demonstration will include a display in which blood-colored matzot will be distributed as an illustration of the modern blood libel which draws hate for Jews from the blood libels of the Middle Ages.
