Dear Editor,

Concerning the article "IDF Troops Killed Palestinians For Organs", I would like to state my resolute disapproval of the ill-founded blood libel published recently in your tabloid.
~
Donald Bostrom, the author of the article, said that he was primarily prompted by the concerns triggered by the possible credibility of the report. He had no solid evidence regarding the veracity of the story. As an empowered and honorable author, I would expect him to examine the issue under a magnifying glass and confirm the details. He shouldn't publish a misleading report unless he has fulfilled the aforementioned assignments.
~
Not only could Bostrom damage his own reputation as an author, but also Aftonbladet's reputation as a trustworthy source of news in Sweden. Similar situations in the future may lead to Aftonbladet's loss of readership.

~

I have no doubt that you wouldn't want to see the occurrence of this as the prime editor of the newspaper. Therefore, I outspokenly suggest you denounce the report and talk Bostrom into delivering a frank apology to innocent and offended Israel.
~

Sincerely yours,
Keran Auster

Excellent! I think you should publish your letter.
