Bjorn Yesterday
Remember the famous TV blooper about the reporter who instead of saying “high White House source” said “high white horse souse”?
Yeah, well that guy was Edward R. Murrow compared to this guy:
Swedish journalist Donald Bostrom was given a cold greeting in Dimona, where he attended the city’s annual International Conference on Communications on Monday.
Bostrom, who has been severely criticized for an article he wrote in the Swedish daily Aftonbladet alleging that Israeli soldiers had stolen body parts from dead Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, was greeted by a throng of protesters upon his entrance to the hall where the conference was held, and his keynote address was disrupted by catcalls from the audience.
During an interview with journalist and talk show host Yair Lapid, Bostrom defended his article, claiming everything he wrote was backed by evidence.
…
“If you had seen what I saw, you would have made the same claims I did. I promise you that the article contains no rumors or lies,” said Bostrom.
…
When asked where he got the evidence to make such serious accusations against Israeli soldiers, Bostrom said the fact was that Palestinian families had made the claims, not that the claims themselves were true. Lapid in turn accused Bostrom of being led on by Hamas and becoming part of their propaganda campaign.
I could make the claim that I am the father of Gisele Bündchen’s unborn baby, not Tom Brady, but that doesn’t make it true. (A gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell, but one too many caipirinhas, and, well, say no more.)
Let’s call this guy SECO, because he’s a Swedish tool.
