Haaretz picks up on the latest blood libel:
The claim first appeared in the Volkskrant, the third largest paper in the Netherlands, in an interview with the well-known Dutch-Jewish director George Sluizer. According to Sluizer, 78, he witnessed Sharon killing two Palestinian toddlers with a pistol in 1982 near the refugee camp Sabra-Shatilla while filming a documentary there.
Like Donald Bostrom's Swedish blood libel, there's no corroborating evidence. The cameraman who Sluizer claims also witnessed the shooting, Fred van Kuyk, is dead. And Sharon's in a coma.
So we can only take Sluizer's word for it.
An Israeli defense minister personally killing Palestinian toddlers would've been quite a scoop back in '82. Why is Sluizer only coming out with these allegations now?
