Sweden's questionable humanitarianism

Anti-Semitic attacks by Arabs encouraged and paid for by renowned Holocaust-denier and arch-racist Mahmud Abbas have torn apart civilian Jewish lives and families in Haifa, Petach Tikva, Netanya, Rishon LeZion, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Rehov,  Ashdod and more. And that’s just in the past 24 hours. The disgusting part is: self-styled “humanitarian superpower” Sweden, which actually […]

Has the entire Swedish media industry gone to sleep?

Wake up Swedish media!!! Hello, are you there, Swedish media? Where’s your usual outrage, your columns and pages of criticism? The smuggling tunnels leading from Sinai into the Gaza Strip – you know, the tunnels that are an absolute “lifeline” for “saving the lives” of a “starving” people in “the world’s biggest concentration camp” – […]

Wear a kippa – but only with police protection

Sweden is a remarkable country. In many ways the envy of Europe, not least for one of its most famous sons Raoul Wallenberg, its vaunted social welfare program and its industrial successes of the recent past, yet haunted by the murders of its prime minister Olof Palme and foreign minister Anna Lindh. And by its […]

A view from Sweden: Sullying Raoul Wallenberg’s reputation

(A version of the following article was published as an op-ed in the Jerusalem Post on June 29, 2012) Raoul Wallenberg’s grandnephew Michael Wernstedt’s stance on Israeli policy in the West Bank is troubling. Sweden’s Raoul Wallenberg was the epitome of selflessness, bravery and principle. He refused to be silent in the face of evil, […]

Regime change to oust leader who brutalises civilians

The aim is not just to protect innocent civilians, but to actively get rid of a regime guilty of vicious attacks against civilians and […]

That selective silence – again

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt is not so much a political enigma, more a walking human rights tragedy and as such, a downright insult to democrats everywhere.

That’s when Israel turns 62. You could spend a lot of quality time reading long and very worthy articles describing what Israel represents.

A legal precedent

The Jerusalem Post reports that The European Initiative, a new European pro-Israeli lobby, has filed a lawsuit in Belgium against Hamas leaders from Gaza and Damascus, demanding that they be brought to justice for war crimes.
