Another Propaganda Trend: New Blood Libel Variant?

Two links in rapid succession from Memri via LGF:

  • Iran TV: Israel Steals Palestinian Children's Eyes:
    Iran's Sahar 1 TV station is currently airing a weekly series titled "For You, Palestine," or "Zahra's Blue Eyes." The series premiered on December 13, and is set in Israel and the West Bank. It broadcasts every Monday, and was filmed in Persian but subsequently dubbed into Arabic.

    The story follows an Israeli candidate for Prime Minister, Yitzhak Cohen, who is also the military commander of the West Bank. The opening sequence of the show contains graphic scenes of surgery, and images of a Palestinian girl in a hospital whose eyes have been removed, with bandages covering the sockets.

    In Episode 1, Yitzhak Cohen lectures at a medical conference on the advances being made by Israeli medicine regarding organ transplants. Later in the episode, Israelis disguised as UN workers visit a Palestinian school, ostensibly to examine the children's eyes for diseases, but in reality to select which children's eyes to steal to be used for transplants.

    In Episode 2, the audience learns that the Israeli president is being kept alive by organs stolen from Palestinian children, and an Israeli military commander is seen kidnapping UN employees and Palestinians.

  • Saudi Government Daily Accuses U.S. Army of Harvesting Organs of Iraqis:
    In the Saudi government daily Al-Watan, an article from Brussels written by Fakhriya Ahmad charges that, based on alleged secret European military reports, the U.S. military in Iraq is harvesting and selling human organs. The following day, the story was also published in the Iranian daily Jomhouri-ye Islami, as well as the Syrian daily Teshreen. The following are excerpts from the article:

    "Secret European military intelligence reports indicate the transformation of the American humanitarian mission in Iraq into a profitable trade in the American markets through the practice of American physicians extracting human organs from the dead and wounded, before they are put to death, for sale to medical centers in America. A secret team of American physicians follow the troops during their attacks on Iraqi armed men to ensure quick [medical] operations for extracting some organs and transferring them to private operations rooms before they are transferred to America for sale.

Ask not for whom the blood libel rings. It rings for us.

#3  You know, we have nutcases like that over here, but they are a lunatic fringe. Anyone care to guess what percentage of the population over there will takes this as gospel fact? I'm saying around 1/3.

Good idea! The liver should be in perfect shape because it has not to purify the blood from alcohol, being as most Muslims don't drink. Could you put one on ice for me later - the liver not the drink, well, maybe both after all.

#1  Cool, can I get a new liver? I kind of worn mine out over time and would like a replacement. If i get an Iraqi liver will I have to convert to Islam? While ther at it I could use some new peepers. That way I can ditch the glasses and get some cool raybands.
