..Official sources in the anti-Jewish Arab media have published wild accusations drawn directly from the history of the blood libel. The purpose of this incitement is to demonize Israel and the Jewish people, and so make Israel's destruction acceptable. As a result, an entire generation of Arab youth has been radicalized and corrupted, and it is hard to fathom how peace between Arab and Jew will ever be possible as long as this incitement is ignored.

The sad irony is that this anti-Israel demonization campaign has been widely successful, influencing many people beyond the Muslim world. One sure reason for this success is that the roots of this campaign lie in the very cultures that now resonate so strongly with it. The old blood libel was born in Europe, and organ harvesting has become the new blood libel.

The latest alleged victims are Ukrainian children, an accusation reported by Iranian Press TV. At an aptly named "pseudo-academic conference" in December held in Kiev, a Ukrainian philosophy professor warned that Israel is planning genocide against Ukrainian children, having already kidnapped 25,000 of them in order to harvest their organs. At that same conference two other professors featured their book blaming the 1930s famine and their country's current poor economic condition on "the Zionists." Such is the credibility of all these allegations. (13)

The same report carries a story about a "Jewish gang" abducting Muslim children in Algeria and selling their organs. The story alleges that bands of Moroccans and Algerians have been cruising Algerian streets looking for young children, whom they force across the border into Morocco where they are sold for their organs to Israeli and American Jews. This story has gone viral in the Muslim world and was picked up by Al-Jazeera and many other outlets. It originated in statements made by Mustafa Khayatti, head of the Algerian National Committee for the Development of Health Research. Khayatti linked the Algerian kidnappings to the Rosenbaum organ trafficking story in the U.S. (13)
