The Jews control the media, the Jew-haters tell us. Yet the media hates Israel. Now, how exactly does that work?
“Washington Post Reprints Depraved Claim that Israel Steals Palestinian Organs,” by Sean Durns, Algemeiner, January 10, 2024:
Antisemitism is skyrocketing. And one of the largest newspapers in the United States is helping fuel the fire.
The Washington Post prides itself on “courageous journalism” and speaking “truth to power,” but a recent report promoted an age-old antisemitic canard. The Dec. 26, 2023, dispatch, “The World Wants a Respite for Gaza. Israel Vows to Keep on Fighting,” regurgitated the claim that Jews steal organs of non-Jews.
As CAMERA’s Ricki Hollander has documented, such “blood libels and conspiracy theories have played a tragic role in Jewish history” and are responsible for inciting anti-Jewish violence. And now you can find them printed in the pages of The Washington Post.
“Palestinian officials,” the Post wrote, “said Tuesday that Israel had returned the bodies of 80 people it had held during the Gaza War via the Karem Shalom border crossing. The Hamas-run government media office said Israel had not identified the bodies or said where they had been taken from. They had been ‘mutilated,’ the media office said in a statement, and there were ‘clear’ indications that organs had been ‘stolen’ from the corpses.”
“The claims,” the Post added, “could not be independently verified.”
As CAMERA has pointed out, this isn’t the first time that the Post has reprinted claims by Hamas, a US-designated terrorist group that calls for a genocide of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Indeed, the newspaper has made a habit of repeating casualty claims provided by the terrorist group, despite overwhelming evidence of their unreliability.
But by peddling a medieval blood libel, the Post has crossed the Rubicon, illustrating that, much like Hamas, there is seemingly no depth to their actions and capriciousness….

If a lie is repeated…and repeated…some people will believe it. Some will question it, but may believe it anyway.
It has been reported that some in china and other nations frequently commit murder in order to procure organs. There are some people who pay the poor to give up a lung or kidney. Others just kill and take. This is believable.
For the claim that the Jews regularly steal the organs of mozlums from “palestine” to be believed, it must be repeated by those who may have a reputation for accuracy…rightly earned or not.
Question: has the wapo ever reported on what mozlums are doing to Christians in Africa? There is a lot of evidence in support of that “story”…..so why not report on it?
Is the wapo like the bbc a place where mozlums have been hired to lie?
Jim says
I remember having a high opinion of the waPo back in the days of the film All the President’s Men. I guess that was an illusion that the WaPo was interested in the truth and would even investigate a sitting president to promote truth and justice and defend the Constitution. Actually the Wapo is only a propagandistic organ of the Dem party. They only do exposes of the Republicans and Israelis and Trump. Not of Joe Biden, his family and Obama.
James Lincoln says
WaPo, although still Left-leaning, was significantly better back in the 1970s, Jim.

This allegation is probably more true about the Chicoms (wrt the Uyghurs), but Bezos’ bozos won’t dare say that about Beijing!
mike says
let’s make sure everyone knows the details of the organ harvesting. If the body has died the organs is useless for transplant. Once the heart stops the body releases an enzyme that starts the decay process. So to think that cutting out organs is a waist of time. Now ask any real doctor, If your on the organs transplant list. Your organs removed before the heart stops, Once the blood supply is cut off the heart can be stopped so not to infect the organs with the enzyme
Now can anyone on this planet be leave anything Muslims say from the middle east
