"Several Holocaust survivors were stunned last weekend by remarks made by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who slammed the Swedish government last week over its refusal to condemn a newspaper which accused the Israel Defense Forces of harvesting Palestinians' organs.

"It's a shame that the Swedish Foreign Ministry fails to intervene in a case of blood libels against Jews. This is reminiscent of Sweden's stand during World War II, when had failed to intervene as well," Lieberman had said.

Golda Zandman, an 89-year-old Holocaust survivor, who arrived in Israel largely thanks to the Swedish government, was amazed by this statement. "It's simply not true – the Swedes are not anti-Semites," she told Ynet on Sunday. "There is no such thing in Sweden. But what would Lieberman know about it? He emigrated from Russia."
