Sweden summons Israeli ambassador
vanity ^ | 08/21/2009

Posted on 08/21/2009 5:00:23 AM PDT by WesternCulture

Swedes are one of the few ethnic groups still allowed to spank the Jews in public:).

Worst kind of racists or not, we Swedes know we are superior to all others when it comes to material standard of living, Amen (no, the $ 37, 000 Volvo V70 is not an "average" vehicle in Norway and Switzerland!), therefore we could now begin to foster Israel into a truly PC nation.

Israel ought to get a great deal of support form us Westerners, but must accept that free speech is a part of true Civilization.

Sweden might have welcomed too many Muslim invaders recently, but we still are a nation that has a say, simply because we Vikings know a little more about building well functioning, civilized societies than the Brits and the Americans do.

We reserve the right to write at will over Israel.

This doesn't mean that Lutheran Sweden is an enemy of Israel. The people over here in Sweden who get sent off as soldiers to Afghanistan fight in your name too. I hope that matters, at least to some degree, to others involved in the WOT.

United we stand.

The article:

"Israel's ambassador to Sweden, Benny Dagan, has been summoned by Sweden's foreign office to discuss the diplomatic discord following an article in a national newspaper claiming Israeli soldiers harvest the organs of dead Palestinians.

The meeting, with the foreign ministry cabinet secretary Frank Belfrage, had already been planned to discuss routine matters but has now taken on an altogether different importance, according to a TT news agency source.

The diplomatic spat has its source in the decision by the Aftonbladet newspaper to publish the article which details allegations of the systematic harvesting of the organs of Palestinian men.

The argument has escalated further after comments on Thursday by the Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman slamming Stockholm for distancing itself from a statement by Sweden's Ambassador to Israel Elisabet Borsiin Bonnier expressing outrage at the article.

Lieberman compared the allegations in the article to old antisemitic lies, such as Jews offering up Christian children for the ritual sacrifice to collect their blood.

"It is regrettable that the Swedish foreign ministry does not intervene when it comes to a blood libel against Jews, which reminds one of Sweden's conduct during World War II when it also did not intervene," a Israeli government statement quoted Lieberman as saying.

The comments have caused irritation at the Swedish foreign ministry, according to the TT source.

Lieberman stated that he intended to send a strongly worded protest to Sweden's foreign minster Carl Bildt, but this protest had not been received by midday on Friday.

Avigdor Lieberman, who is also the leader of the ultra-nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party, also issued a sweeping criticism of Sweden and the foreign ministry over moves to distance itself from comments made by the Swedish ambassador to Israel, Elisabet Borsiin Bonnier, in which she condemned the newspaper's decision to publish."

It’s a good thing Fox News exists, but why pay credit to everything they say?

This is what Malmö looks like in reality (Malmö is under threat, agreed, but don’t hyperventilate too much over conditions in that proud city:

I live in Sweden. The atmosphere towards Israel and the Jews is lamentable.Same towards Americans to be honest.
Swedes should be reminded of their treason during the WWII.The swedes allowed Hitler to use its railways if he promised not to invade them.Of course, it is only now that the facts are becoming known. over 60 years have passed.

I always remind Swedish people of that fact when they cry foul play when discussing their beloved palestinians.
I remind them that their so-called NEUTRALITY is a myth.
They were cowards in the WWII conflict, they are still cowards.
I like to remind the Swedes that Malmö is now under threat from Islam. They still think of Islam as a religion of peace and tolerance.

I am hoping to be transfered soon. Living in sweden is not as cosy and charming as it is made out.

Let's not forget what happened when Sweden hosted Israel in Davis Cup and held the tie in Malmo.

“another country which has seen an invasion of muslims and they wonder why places like Malmo are now ethnic enclaves”

- We have let far too many warriors of Islam in, agreed.

But, seriously, is Malmö a part of the Muslim world?

It doesn't look it.

I visited Rosengård, Malmö a few months back, on my way to a holiday by car in France, I saw lots of nice Volvos and no signs of crime whatsoever - but admittedly, I wouldn't wish to live there.

Personally, I distrust all media.

I have no doubt that there are fine,decent,courageous and wise Swedes...Germans...Dutch.....French....Spaniards...etc.

However,I firmly believe that such respectable,admirable individuals constitute a minority...a rather small minority...of the citizenry of European Union countries.

In short,it's been too long since Western and Central Europe tasted true repression....true suffering.They've forgotten what it looks like.What it feels like.Today,most such individuals *truly* see the death cult started by that child molester as the "religion of peace" and see the United States as the world's sole source of death...destruction....oppression.

The Eastern Europeans "get it".This,IMO,is because most of them have personally experienced true oppression and suffering in their lives.But Western and Central Europe is a lost cause.And in the future I think it would be wise for the US to see it as a hostile region whose governments and citizens are not to be trusted.

I hate to say that but that's the way I see things.And I'm a citizen of an EU country!!

“I live in Sweden. The atmosphere towards Israel and the Jews is lamentable.Same towards Americans to be honest.”

- I'm glad you wish to give a true account of what you have experienced over here.

Please allow me to apologize for being part of a nation that doesn't honor its allies.

I hope you have discovered there are at least some Swedes who understand why Scandinavia along with the rest of Western Civilization must resist evil.

“Swedes should be reminded of their treason during the WWII.The swedes allowed Hitler to use its railways if he promised not to invade them.”

- Sweden realized the threat of Stalin.

Finland did too.

We chose a different solution than doing what we were instructed to by Churchill.

Churchill was a great, don't get me wrong, but Stalin had to be fought.

Russia was ridiculed on Nordic soil during WWII, just like it was in Nordic waters 1790;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58vquZ5Jvoo

A relative of mine fought the Red Army in Finland (got shot, but survived). The Finnish part of my family will never apologize for defending a Nordic nation with Swedish and German guns in this struggle.

I don't hate Russia.

Russia could become a part of our glorious civilization if they wanted to.

But never forget why Westerners like us Swedes tend to react rather strongly anytime they chose to view attack Nordic territory.

Sweden traded with the Nazis, yes. Just like Standard Oil and Ford did.

Our excuse is called Stalin and anyone who'd say we Swedes ought to support Communism in one way or another is not a close friend of a culture which, perhaps, is guilty of having raided a bit, but also has encouraged trade, adventure, exploration and friendship between nations since the Stone Age.

All Swedes are not commies.

Yes, people like you and I who feel Israel has been insulted by a Swedish paper could say whatever we want and I'm convinced Israel and Sweden will remain friends.

However, the stupidity of Swedish tabloids have nothing to do with the Swedish government.

Let them concentrate on ways of sending back Somalians where they belong and sending more troops to Afghanistan instead.

Let Sweden run the world. It will get even more PC perhaps, but at least people will work hard while at work and when not, they'll be occupied paying taxes and driving around in nice Volvos:)

I agree, to something like 99%.

My father got in touch with a wonderful East German family through work shortly after the wall came down.

In 1989, they dwelled in what I’d call a closet. Two very gifted adults and a newborn daughter, both parents having university education.

Ten years from that, the nice Volvo we arrived in when sneaking up their driveway to their very nice house was ridiculed by their brand new car (also a Volvo).

Enjoing high material standards of living isn’t everything, but true freedom tends to go hand in hand with it.

Why not view reality as it is?

Back to the issue of Islam.

Many Europeans are damn tired of PC politicians and various sorts of appeasement towards the ROP.

Sooner or later, Europe must react.

There is work to be done.

Hey, innocent citizens of USA and Spain have recently been murdered by al-Qaida terrorists, do we as Westerns and human beings accept this?

I, as a Westerner and as a human being, don’t.

Freedom has a price, but it IS worth the cost.

Furthermore, America is not alone.

Never forget this.

I hope that your optimism regarding Europe's future course is correct and my pessimism is wrong.Obviously,you're much closer to the situation than am I.Although I'm an EU citizen (through ancestry) I've never lived there and,if I ever do in the future (I *LOVE* Italy!),it will be as a temporary "tourist" rather than as a permanent arrangement.

IMO,if Europe eventually falls...which I,admittedly,believe will happen....Western civilization and culture itself is in grave danger.It's *that* serious.

Swedish "Youths" Riot

Those European "youths" are at it again, this time in Sweden. That's how the BBC identifies them: "Swedish city hit by youth riots."

The city is Malmo, in southern Sweden, where vehicles and barricades are burning for a second consecutive night:

In the caption to this photo, Reuters helpfully explains that the fire is being extinguished by policemen because "the fire department considered the area to be too risky to enter with their personnel:"

As usual when European "youths" riot--outside of Greece, anyway--the explanation comes if you keep reading:

"We've had a very difficult evening," a police spokeswoman told the AFP news agency late on Thursday.

"There have been fires burning since this afternoon... extensive damage to public property, and... stone-throwing and bomb threats against police."

She said the trouble was linked to the closure of an Islamic centre. The owner of the building, in an immigrant neighbourhood, had decided not to renew the centre's lease. The centre, which included a mosque, had to move out.

All of this strikes me as newsworthy, but as best I can determine, the New York Times, for one, has yet to mention the Malmo riots.

Sunday, March 08, 2009 Sweden: More on the Malmö Riots: Howling Apes and Monkeys.......

Police sit in their vehicles as a mob of Antifa and Muslim rioting apes leap and pummel

Swedish Police: Reduced to observing and taking notes

SEE VIDEO

Over at the Gates of Vienna, Baron Bodissey has Ted Ekeroth's birds eye view report of the mayhem:

Ted Ekeroth was at the demonstration, and here’s what he had to say:

The demonstration against the tennis game between Israel and Sweden took place today in Malmö. Well, it wasn’t just about tennis of course it was about hating everything Israel is, lying through their teeth about what Israel has done and hasn’t done, advocating for Hamas and in general hating Israel.

Around 5000 people showed up; leftwingers and Muslims side by side once again. They first started with some speeches at Stortorget (where the Arabic mob chased and attacked a peaceful pro-Israeli rally a month before). The speakers said the normal gibberish; lies about the Gaza war, lies about “international law” and who breaks it, lies about numbers and totally insane logic in their reasoning. Nothing new about that.An example: they advocate for Hamas, as usual…

On the way to Baltiska Hallen an Arab group started chanting some different slogans or verses in Arabic. One of those are when they sing about Khaybar; i.e. when Muhammed attacked a Jewish village, killed, pillaged and evicted the Jews. They sing about this and how Muhammeds army should return and… well, you get the point.

On the way to Baltiska Hallen some demonstrators fired some thing on the police threw paint on buildings but the real riots took place when they arrived at Baltiska Hallen. How that looked can be viewed here and here. As you all can see, the Swedish police did what they are used to: nothing.

They sat in their vehicles while the demonstrators pounded the cars with firecrackers, big stones and when they got on top of the roof and demolished the vehicle. Nice. This is how things are handled here in Sweden, especially in Malmö where the police got their hands tied behind their back by the politicians, and the politicians in turn is left-wing, pro-Arabic and anti-Israel which makes this mess what it is. I’m convinced that the police officers “on the ground” hates this policy but the bosses play ball.

Me and my brother was verbally threatened by the demonstrators when the recognized us and they also tried to physically attack us, but when we started to filmed them they reacted like Superman on kryptonite…Another video is here, and Vlad Tepes has also collected a few.

In the New Europe called Eurabia, those who speak up for justice and human rights are the ones deemed, racists and bigots, by the political and media elite. The howling ape squads of Socialists, Antifa goons and jihadi loving Muslims however, are given full rein to prowl the streets at will by the cowering idiot politicians, who both fear and need these goons come election time. Welcome to Eurabia. KGS

Muslim Riots in Malmö, Sweden (English)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzLECtFT4aU

http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2008/12/28/swedens-city-of-malmo-hit-by-rioting-again/

Police spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford could not even guess how many police vehicles have been damaged during the riots; such was the extent of the rioting. Local protestors were apparently joined by left-wing extremists from outside the area. To make matters worse, Malmo’s fire and rescue units refused to enter the riot area because their safety could not be guaranteed.


Maybe the Swedes believe if they give Malmo to the muslims and write blood-libels against Jews, the muslims will allow them to keep the rest of Sweden? I’ve got news for them. Say goodbye to your country, Swedes. You don’t have immigrants, what you have is a plague of deadly parasites.
