Robrecht Vanderbeeken is cultural secretary of the ACOD union and a researcher in philosophy of science affiliated with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. His column containing accusations vehemently rejected by Israel was published in August on the left-wing news website De Wereld Morgen.
This week, the Interfederal Center for Equal Opportunities, or UNIA, a racism watchdog, received a complaint against Vanderbeeken for his claims of Wilfried Van Hoof, a reader who had found the anti-Semitic text, reported Thursday the Jewish magazine Joods Actueel.
The population of Gaza, which has a border with Israel and Egypt, is "hungry, poisoned and children are kidnapped and murdered for their organs," wrote Vanderbeeken.
Following the complaint, De Wereld Morgen withdrew the organ robbery section on Thursday but maintained the complaint on poisoning and death by starvation.
The document released a 377 word correction entitled "Update" explaining why she had removed the accusation referring to the theft of organs. In the correction, the news website accuses Israel of "murder" and "kidnapping" of Palestinian children, among other actions described as war crimes by the newspaper.
He also pointed out that Israel was using organs belonging to Palestinian forces killed, but the editors and editorialist have decided "not to suggest a causal link between kidnapping and murder". children by the Israeli occupation army and the removal of organs for transplant purposes ".
Israel claims that it does not arbitrarily kill Palestinians or any other population group and punish violations of international law committed by its troops. When asked to prove that Israel is poisoning Palestinians, the perpetrators often point out that pesticides have been sprayed in Jewish settlements or that food is spoiled as they reach markets and markets. tables in Gaza.
In 2009, the Swedish daily Aftonbladet angered Israeli authorities and Jewish leaders by publishing an unverified account of Israeli troops harvesting organs from Palestinians who died in custody. Israel has flatly denied the prosecution.
De Wereld van Morgen did not explain in his correction why he had left unchanged the accusation that Israel would poison Palestinians. Critics of the accusation often made against Israel by Palestinians and others allege that this complaint and the theft of organs echo antisemitic motives and slanders dating back to the Middle Ages.
