Audio: Swedish Freedom of Expression8/30/2009 9:13:00 PMA7 Radio's "Walter's World" with Walter Bingham
It’s Freedom of the Press Swedish style. Aftonbladet, a sensationalist Swedish tabloid newspaper published the unconfirmed story by a known anti-Semite, that IDF snatches Palestinians, harvests their organs and then returns them by night dead, slyly linking it with the alleged organ trade by Jews in New Jersey. Walter’s World tried hard to get comment from official Swedish government circles, but gets only the cold shoulder. While buildings of Jewish institutions in Sweden have to be heavily protected, their leaders offer half hearted excuses for their government’s silence, despite Israel’s protest. Also: What 80% of Jews in the US know about Israel is what their local media reports. And: An assessment of Europe’s engrained anti-Semitism.
Walter Bingham is a veteran investigative journalist from London now living in Jerusalem. He holds post graduate degrees in politics and philosophy and hosts Walter’s World, an audio magazine dealing with human interest stories from Israel and the Jewish world. It is aired live every Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Israel time on Israel National Radio and archived to be available on demand. Walter can be contacted at walter@israelnationalradio.com.
