A NY Times piece on indictments by the European Union of 7 in Kosovo for global organ-trade (victims in Moldova, Moscow, Istanbul, Kazakhstan) waits till its penultimate paragraph to say what the “nexus” of that trade is. I don’t understand why this information is not at the top of the story. Well, yes I do. Anti-semitism fears. This is where I say, Jewish history has changed, Jews are confident and empowered, we can discuss this openly and there won’t be pogroms. Dan Bilefsky:

In September, five doctors from South Africa were charged with participating in an international kidney-trading syndicate in which dozens of poor Brazilians and Romanians were paid for kidneys for wealthy Israelis.
