Please explain to me why the CA felt the need to report on a criminal incident that perpetrated by one individual in Israel in 1990 in your snip-it entitled "Israel: Organ Harvesting in 1990's reveled" (12/21/09 A4). The "rehashing" of the 1990 incident, especially when framed in an accusatory tone against the entire state of Israel as if it happened yesterday, is nothing more than an overt attempt to demonize the Israeli people. The timing of this regurgitation - 4 days before Christmas - is especially suspect.
This incident was perpetrated by a single pathologist who was criminally indicted, but the PRESS - including the CA, have done their best - for almost 20 years - to portray this single incident as a systemic policy of the Israeli people in an attempt to keep the blood libel theories about Jews alive, and to accomplish what wars, and terrorism couldn't: Political pressure to delegitimize the Israeli people.
Had a single pathologist in the USA done the same (and they have dozens of times without prosecution), I doubt it would be reported 20 years later accusing the US of "harvesting" organs. I just wish the CA had as much righteous indignation at terrorism against Israeli civilians as they do for blatant abuses of the press to frame Israel as illegitimate.
I'm sure that the Palestinian propagandists in the Mideast will try their best to keep this story alive, and even embellish it as time goes on, but I don't understand why the CA editorial staff feels the need to be their accomplice.
