A week ago the Hamas regime of Gaza fired seventy (70) missiles into civilian populations in southern Israel. Swedish public-service TV broadcaster SVT did not publish a single word about this on its Teletext news page. Yesterday, Saturday 10 November was the Remembrance Day for Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) when the Nazi regime of […]

Entertainment, Egyptian style
It’s just so great to know that the Egyptians are at peace with Israel. This video from MEMRI-TV shows the kind of raw anti-Semitism that passes for “entertainment” in Egypt’s Al Nahar TV. Beating up women, threatening them with guns and making coarse racist comments is all regarded as hugely funny – if the recipients of this […]
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, […]
The Great Palestinian Lie
There are few commentators and political observers who are more honest and to the point than Pat Condell. On the subject of the “Palestinian struggle for independence” (that is to say, the Final Solution for Israel’s existence) here are some quotes from a recent video Pat Condell made: The Arabs don’t hate Jews because of […]
Sweden at the crossroads: choice between dignity and anti-Semitism
Yesterday the entire civilised world remembered the 6 million Jewish victims who 60-odd years ago were selected for the worst anti-Semitic barbarity in modern time – the Holocaust. With breathtaking callousness, yesterday was also the day Ilmar Reepalu, the Social Democratic mayor of Malmö who last year tried to stop Jews playing tennis in his […]
Swedish paradise lost
A pro-Israel rally in the southern Swedish city of Malmö descended into violent chaos as an illegal counter-demonstration went on the offensive. What was remarkable was that the illegal counter-demonstration was allowed by the police to come so close to the pro-Israel rally that the attackers were able to slice through the power supply cable […]
Sweden fishing in murky Hamas waters
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt wades through some very murky waters indeed. Before the weekend he breaks EU policy, meets with Hamas government ministers and declares “we believe the Palestinian government should be treated as a single entity”. Immediately after the weekend he somehow manages to forget everything Hamas stands for on his visit to […]
Revolutionary movements that can't seem to pass a motion
Our partners for peace the Fatah Palestinians under the secular Holocaust denier President Mahmud Abbas are having trouble with their partners in government, the Palestinians under the religious Sunni Hamas, who propose the right of return of Palestinian Arabs to lands they never lived in, from Arab lands that have consistently denied them citizenship and […]
Swedish credibility at an all-time low
2006 is election year in Sweden. In early April, Swedish Chancellor of Justice Göran Lambertz quashed an investigation into calls from the Stockholm Grand Mosque to “kill the Jews”. In his opinion, incitement to kill Jews in Sweden should be seen against the background of the conflict in Israel, rendering such calls entirely permissible.Later the […]
Anti-Jewish sentiment spreads in Swedish schools
The following case-history highlights creeping anti-Jewish sentiment in Swedish society. On the 11th of September 2001, four civilian aircraft were deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon headquarters in the USA. The shock of this event prompted many head teachers in Sweden to advise their staff to take time from scheduled school […]
