When I wrote my last post on the organ-snatching article in Aftonbladet, I cited an article heading in The Jerusalem Post that said that Sweden used the free press argument as an excuse.
Today they have a video clip where they interview Zvi Mazel, a former ambassador to Sweden 2002 to 2004, who claims that the freedom of the press in Sweden is an overrated feature since 80% of the press is syndicated to the Social Democratic party, which is known to be pro-Palestinian. Mona Sahlin, their party leader, recently visited the Palestinian Congress and gave a speech.
Zvi Mazel published an article that discusses the problem of anti-Israelism and anti-semitism in Sweden. The article brings among other things up Aftonbladet and Helle Klein of whom he writes: It's editor in chief, Helle Klein, is a descendant of a well known rabbi but she can find nothing good in Israel and her paper attacks us regularly.
