The Adult Thing to Do

Adi Dvir wants Israel to see sense. And he is right. The best thing would be to simply ignore the silly tabloid report about Israeli soldiers harvesting the organs of dead Palestinians. Next time Aftonbladet publishes an anti-Semitic article—which they most certainly will do—the Israeli government should simply make a statement objecting to it and then let it be.

Unfortunately, things have gotten out of hand now Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has demanded that the Swedish government issues a condemnation. That is a silly demand. Sweden’s centre-right government has nothing to do with the socialist tabloid that published the anti-Semitic article. Furthermore, according to Sweden’s constitution, government ministers are not allowed to interfere in such matters.

I wonder how this will end…
