I believe that this article is an act of free speech. The Swedish people, their media and/or their government have done nothing wrong. If the story is fake then the Israeli government should have not reacted as they did. There must be at least an ounce of truth somewhere in this article to spark the issue to such high level.

Nonetheless, if these allegations are true it should make every decent human being sick to the inner most of their stomach. It is almost inevitable that we will be waiting for a long time before the Israelis allow any kind international investigation into the matter, just as they would not and still do not allow any unbiased media to report what really did happen in Gaza or the West Bank.
This bears similarities and is almost reminiscence of the Gaza massacre when a few Israeli soldiers claimed innocent Palestinians were being murdered by their comrades and not so surprisingly the Israeli government quickly put a stop to any factual investigation.
So they have asked Sweden as a state to apologize. The question is to what exactly should the Swedish government apologize?
If Israel has a dilemma with the published article, then she should challenge it by all means by allowing thorough a investigation. Only then one can know the facts and hence the truth. But we can be sure that it will not happen. After the entire world has seen the level of cooperation Israel has shown to the UN and its investigation of the use of illegal weapons in the war against the Gazans.
So the message to the Israeli government is to grow up and quit using this repetitive and juvenile claim that everyone on the face of this planet who does not agree with your inhumane policies and criticizes you is anti-Semitic. It is rather disgusting and racist that anytime someone tries to point out the matter, they are instantly labelled as such.
Can anyone imagine if the media received the same repose every time they criticized the black people or indigenous community?
