Sweden Critical of Israeli "Extra-judicial Executions"

"It is only through negotiation and an end to the occupation that Israel can be guaranteed a peaceful future," said Lindh |
In another criticism of Israeli oppressive practices, Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh blasted the Israeli army's "extrajudicial executions" of Palestinians.
"Extra-judicial executions continue unabatedly. Building demolitions have become increasingly common. Palestinians are humiliated daily at Israeli roadblocks," she said in a statement.
"Israel must realize that injustices and confrontation do not lead to security," she said, noting that 72 Palestinians, many of them civilians, have been killed as a result of the Israeli offensive in Gaza and the West Bank in the past month.
"It is only through negotiation and an end to the occupation that Israel can be guaranteed a peaceful future," she said.
Just a feeling, but if this happened in the US, in the middle of a department store, with a knife, and a camouflage jacket, the perp would definitely be a lunatic (Hinkley sort) and caught quick.
But I can't tell you naything about Sweden. The Olaf Palme crime was never solved.
If human decency can't rise above political squabbles, there is no hope for humanity- only polity.
Ironically, this is said on 9/11. Knives... Boxcutters... Dozens of Americans standing by. Not to put to fine a point on it, but we call the actions of Todd Beamer heroic for a reason- it was above and beyond what the ordinary person would do on any given day in any given crisis.
Pim Fortuyn was shot at point blank range, Zoran Djindjic was shot by three snipers, one of the Left's opposition figures against their own Gerhard Schroeder in Germany was assasinated by someone who cut his parachute cords recently, the Italian finance minister (a conservative) was shot in the head in the street not long before that, and now Anna Lindh: 5 European national leaders assassinated in Europe in the last two years. Of course, the American media isn't going to dare mention all of these assasinations together, as that might actually betray their myth of Europe being "peaceful" and civilized, among other things.
But the truth is that Europe commonly uses assasinations to shape their politics.
During the Cold War, the Soviets used to send their submarines up Swedish fiords to train their crews on stealth. The Swedes couldn't catch them.
It appears that the descendants of all the Vikings with warrior genes now reside somewhere other than Sweden. As Madame Lindh had time to run up an escalator, she may have had time to draw a derringer and shoot her attacker. But, that would require a belief in self defense and guns, a warrior trait.
What?
Bad skin? That be anything from acne to flabby cheeks to whiskey nose. Oddest description I've seen in a bit...
