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.

"We are going to find him," Jennekvist said. "That's our job."

As Olaf Palme spins in his grave.

You can tell she was a socialist in that pic- her hand is out.

[Humidston]

Sounds like she was a real "progressive."

No wonder Colin liked her.

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.

"We are going to find him," Jennekvist said. "That's our job."

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.

...a tall, stocky Swede with bad skin

What?

Bad skin? That be anything from acne to flabby cheeks to whiskey nose. Oddest description I've seen in a bit...

[AmericaUnited]

The left is well known for killing their own as sacrificial cannon fodder. Sounds like a "boost the sympathy vote" scheme of the left to me.

They make a big deal that the FM had no guards.
At what level do US officials receive a security detail?
When was the last time they did much other then, open doors and hold coats?

The 46-year-old Lindh died at a hospital Thursday, a day after she was chased up an escalator and repeatedly stabbed in the stomach, chest and arm. Her attacker fled, dropping his knife and camouflage jacket......

Police do not believe the attack was politically motivated, despite the fact that it came just three days before the referendum vote.

"There is nothing that indicates there was any careful planning in this," Persson said of the attack.

Hmmmm....okie dokie.

[apokatastasis]

Call me paranoid, but I can't help but wonder if this was Hamas getting revenge for the EU's decision to categorize it as a terrorist group. I wonder if Lindh was at that meeting of foreign ministers.

[Esther Blume]

Anna Lindh was a Anti-Semite who advocated boycotting Israel.

I shed no tears

Any relation to John Walker Lindh, the "American Taleban".
