| Posted: 05 Feb 2010 01:51 AM PST  The WRMEA Middle East website reports: "In August Sweden's largest daily newspaper published an article containing grisly evidence suggesting that Israel had been taking Palestinian internal organs. The article, by veteran photojournalist Donald Bostrom, called for an international investigation to discover the facts. Israel immediately accused Bostrom and the newspaper of 'anti-Semitism,' and charged that suggesting Israelis could be involved in the illicit removal of body parts constituted a modern 'blood libel' (which refers to medieval stories of Jews killing Gentile babies as Ritual Human Sacrifices). Numerous Israeli partisans repeated these accusations, including Commentary's Jonathan Tobin, who asserted that the story was 'merely the tip of the iceberg in terms of European funded and promoted anti-Israel hate.' Others suggested that the newspaper was irresponsible for running such an article. The fact is, however, that Israeli organ harvesting—sometimes with Israeli governmental funding and the participation of high Israeli officials, prominent Israeli physicians, and Israeli ministries—has been documented for many years. Among the victims have been Palestinians."

"Of the sayings of the wise men, there was not one, probably, more wise than that of the celebrated Know Thyself, and probably there was not one to which so little regard has been paid. It is to the want of attention to this principle that I attribute most of the absurdities with which the wise and learned, perhaps in all ages, may be reproached. Man has forgotten or been ignorant that his faculties are limited. He has failed to mark the line of demarcation, beyond which his knowledge could not extend. Instead of applying his mind to objects cognizable by his senses, he has attempted subjects above the reach of the human mind, and has lost and bewildered himself in the mazes of metaphysics. He has not known or has not attended to what has been so clearly proved by Locke, that no idea can be received except through the medium of sense. He has endeavoured to form ideas without attending to this principle, and, as might be expected, he has run into the greatest absurdities, the necessary consequence of such imprudence. " - Godfrey Higgins, Anacalypsis, 1834, p. 29
