hubbub ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.30.14)

4. Shut the Swedish consulate in Jerusalem
AY   (10.30.14)
down. Or simply prevent West Bank and Gaza Palestinians from getting to it and prevent or make it as hard as possible for the Swedish diplomats to go to the West Bank and Gaza.
5. Israel land
Ralf ,   Paris   (10.30.14)
The best proof the land is jewish is given by the Arabs themselves : PA should change BETHLEHEM name into arabic one,I.E. DAR ELKHOBS. So JESUS wille be no longer jewish but arab.
6. Sweden
El gato ,   Brookfield, WI   (10.30.14)
What? Sweden is still around? If it weren't for Volvo, you'd never hear a thing about this forgotten place. They pretended to be neutral in WWII, and they don't exist anymore!
7. Sweden officially recognises terrorist governed failed state
(10.30.14)
It may have a people and a territory but it has a government that is partnered in terrorism as its official policy and immune to peace negotiations with its neighbor. Yet another failed state to add to the catalogue of middle and far east failed states. Dump the problem on Israel to sort out the mess that will ensue. Another state ready to be taken over by ISIS or Hamas thanks to Sweden.
8. Recognize Sápmi / Lapland in return
ariks ,   Zurich   (10.30.14)
Almost every European country has a minority that is struggling for independence or for more autonomy. Israel should recognize their rights in return.
9. Leftists Are Anti-Semites
Abu Malmo ,   Malmo   (10.30.14)
Because They Ally and Support Anti-Semites in the effort to kill Jews. This is not about "justice" for Palestinians, it is about assisting the Palestinians in destroying Israel. The leftists know this but as fanatic PC true believers are commanded to ignore the truth right before their eyes. They have pressed Israel to make concession after concession, they never demand the Palestinians recognize Israel and make peace. What is the difference between a leftist and a fascist? The leftist holds the fascist's coat while the fascist goes after the Jews.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.30.14)
It's a good thing you live in Northern Ireland then, isn't it? Save us the trouble of kicking your terrorist ass out of the Jewish State. In the event you are not familiar with history, the Arabs could have had their independent state in 1947. They chose to go to war instead. They LOST. Boo, hoo, hoo. Cry me a river. They started -- and LOST -- five additional wars. Israel does not owe them a damned thing except a swift kick in the pants the hell out of the JEWISH State of Israel. They had their chance. They blew it. Too bad.
11. Sweden recognizes Palestinian State
Maurice ,   Israel   (10.30.14)
Are Swedish leaders aware that they are condoning the establishment of a State which will: -- reward terrorism both by applaude and cash reward; -- encourage incitement to violence; -- suppress women, homosexuals and religious minorities; -- prohibit Jews absolutely from residing in the new state; -- send a message worldwide that terrorism is successful; -- provide legitimacy for the Hamas terrorists who vow to annihilate Israel and its Jewish population; which contradicts Western culture to nurture tolorence, freedom of speech, freedom of movement, non-discrimination, equal rights for women and non-violence.
12. Does Swden has an excellent co-operartion..
Beary Whtie ,   Norway   (10.30.14)
... with Israel?? It is the most hostile anti-Israel country in Europe.!! Must be a Swedish selfie...
13. As long as Palestine is not in Sweden,
Philip Barnett ,   London , UK   (10.30.14)
the Swedes can recognize it as an entity. Same for the Indians of the US , if they had asked for recognition , they would get it. Now Palestine, which Palestine? All the Palestinians are descendent of Yasser Arafat , he was the only one who claimed at first he was a Palestinian. Where are they coming from and what is their history besides coming from Arabia? The Europeans are too stupid/idiot to believe in the palestinians fabricated history. Never mind , all europeans are getting ready to convert to islam. Prepare your burkas ladies, we won't see the color of your butt anymore.
14. Goyim will be Goyim
(10.30.14)
To think that this IGNORNAT swed thinks he is doing good? The sweds will Reap What They Sow!!! He who Cures Israel, will be Cursed!!! Good luck with that!!!
15. Well, Israel should recognize ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.30.14)
... an independent Sami nation. The Sami people have been persecuted by the Swedes for centuries. The Swedes treat the interloper Moslems and Arabs that have taken over Malmo and who have turned raping Swedish women into a cottage industry far better than they treat the Sami people -- the original indigenous people of Sweden. The Swedes are really a classless bunch. Up the Sami people! Down with the Swedes who have enslaved the Sami! Oh, and lest we forget, the Swedes were Nazi sympathizers -- and aiders and abettors. They live on stolen Sami land.
16. Skoal !!! ,...

19. SWEDEN WILL BE CURSED
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (10.30.14)
20. Stupid Swedes why?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!   (10.30.14)
The land ALL of the and belongs to Israel and she wont relinquish an inch to her tormentors. The Swede may however allocate some of their land for their beloved pals. Please do. Not one Muslim, Arab nation will allow these violent thugs an inch of their land, why should Israel? BUILD IT ALL BABY, FROM THE EARTH TO THE SKIES ABOVE!!
21. lol
Onas   (10.30.14)
Jews start crying, threatening and whining in 3, 2, 1 ...
22. 2-STATE SHMOO-STATE ... THIS IS NOW A DEAD LETTER
stude ham   (10.30.14)
there is no way that Israel will ever again give up any of its lands for the illusions of peace with the palis... gaza taught us a major lesson in pali thinking... and we must never forget that perfidy.
23. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (10.30.14)
More recognition will follow soon.
24. This is Sweden's shame surrender to a Muslim Jihad ultimatum
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.30.14)
25. Relations between Israel and Sweden
C   (10.30.14)
sweden has ruined any relations it ever had with israel. israel will most likely not break off diplomatic relations, but sweden will have no influence whatever with the jewish state. furthermore, the claim that the putative arab palestinian state fulfills the criteria of a state under international law is specious and outright mendacious. the arab palestinians do not have a government nor control over territory nor borders.
26. Finally
Hakim ,   Palestine   (10.30.14)
Finally, Israel is on the same page as the South African Apartheid regime. The world now sees past the racist lies that Israel spews. Sure, a few Arabs live in Israel, but its just a cover. Palestinians can't ride on the same bus as Israelis? Sure, some democracy.
27. This is not surprising since SweDAN (another spelling of
Rivkah   (10.30.14)
Sweden that is more ancient) is of the Tribe of Dan that is so evil that Elohim does not list 12,000 virgins (true in faith ) of Israel from the Tribe of Dan or the Tribe of Ephraim in Revelation. There is a pearl gate in Elohim's heavenly Jerusalem with the name of Dan but that Tribe is cast out in the latter days of Gentile world rule. SweDAN is going to pay a horrific price for calling Elohim a liar which a Palestinian State on land given to the Hebrews anciently (not the Philistines who are the Palestinians) was an eternal promise of Elohim. Calling Elohim a liar is hazardous as the book "Eye to Eye..." shows.
28. Sweden recognize Palestinian state
jon ,   uk   (10.30.14)
by recognizing Palestinian state Sweden and the other countries who recognizing Palestinian state are laying the foundation for another terror Arab state look at some of the middle east Arab countries they and the other countries know this and are like an ostridge head in the sand and living in denial using the Palestinians to be against Israel
29. These degenerates will soon recognize Sweden as part of Cali
(10.30.14)
phate, make no mistake about it!
30. Aren't the "palestinians" lucky to be recognized,
A ,   Belgium   (10.30.14)
now they can proudly hold their heads up when they go begging, and recieving, financial handouts from the Swedish government.
