      Swedish Journalist Greeted at Airport With Protests


      Infamous Swedish journalist Donald Bostrom arrived in Israel early Sunday morning, to be greeted by catcalls and protests at Ben Gurion Airport from Beitar Youth activists. Bostrom, who earlier this year accused IDF troops of "harvesting" body parts from Arabs, is to appear at a media conference in Dimona Sunday.

      In an interview, Dimona Mayor Meir Cohen denied that he was giving Bostrom a platform to denigrate Israel. "He has been speaking around the Arab world for months, so he does not need us to give him a platform. We are going to tell him that we do not accept his accusations, and try to show him how wrong he is," Cohen said.
