Israel in touch with Sweden over MP's arrest (Took part in violent protest)

Friedolin should be declared persona non grata and deported.

JPost has changed the headline. He is being deported. I don't know if they are giving him his hair back. :)

[expatpat]

Yes, indeed. Gutless wonders. At least the French surrendered after being clobbered by the Nazis -- the Swedes gave up without a shot fired.

[Rebel-without-a-pause]

I must be getting older than I thought. He looks too young to be an MP. Am I wrong or does he look like a Back Street Boy on a bad hair day?

[Rebel-without-a-pause]

Trying something new here. Bear with me.

[dagnabbit]

The Scandinavians have a thing for young politicians. Also, the small population and parliamentary system makes it easier for neophyte politicians to get into office.

[Ringman]

Fridolin is a hopeless brat and one of the main spokesmen of the greens here in Sweden. They rely mainly on bizarre publicity-stunts to get their views across.

These kind of incidents will hopefully reduce their credibility even further. The last election barely gave them enough votes to qualify for seats in parliament.

Fortunately, without the greens the social democrats would have difficulties staying in power.

[anguish]

Sheesh, if an Israeli MK took part in military sabotage in Sweden there'd be h*ll to pay. That lovely double-standard at work again.

There would be hell to pay, but the Greens with this little kiddie MP would applaud it (as they want to scrap the Swedish military).

Coming late to this, I have some questions:

What is meant by " brown shirts?"

Is Gil Na'amati a "brown shirt?"

I've heard that Michael Savage is not the man's birth name; if so, does anyone know his real name?

[rmlew]

Does he represent a district or was he elected solely on a party line list?

[tet68]

Somewhere there's a bulldozer with his name on it.
"Ask not for whom the bull dozes, it dozes for theeeeeeee!"

I know you already know the answers to your questions. You aren't quite as clever as you think...

The standard Hitler Youth brown shirted uniform was based on that of the NAZI Strom Troopers (SA), showing their origin as a junior auxilary of the SA. The SA was much more important in the 1920s when the Hitler Youth were founded than after 1934 when Hitler had SA leader Roem and his associates shot to placate the Army. The Army saw the SA as a potential threat as it was the NAZI Party para-military group, in part a party army. The SA eventually complained that the brown Hitler Youth uniforms made them look like boy scouts. The same brown shirt continued to be worn throughout the 1930s and 40s to the War's end.

Savage's last name is Weiner. I don't see how this is at all relevant. And yes, your friend Gil Na'amati are both Nazi sympathizers cut from the same cloth as the origninal brown shirts.

Not to the topic; I'd heard Savage wasn't his real name.

And yes, your friend Gil Na'amati are both Nazi sympathizers cut from the same cloth as the origninal brown shirts.

Assumption; never heard of the individual before. Thank you for your response.

Looks like Swedish MP Gustav Friedolin wins the European Metrosexual Prize.
What a doozy of a hairdo!

ABSOLUT IDIOT

[Ringman]

He is a representative of the township of Stocholm (~700k pop) with 32 out of 349 seats.
