STOCKHOLM - The president of the European Jewish Congress called on Sweden on Tuesday to be vigilant of anti-Semitism among some refugees seeking shelter in the Nordic country.
Speaking after a meeting in Stockholm with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, Moshe Kantor said that while Muslim refugees also face bigotry and racism, "anti-Semitism remains a significant problem in Sweden" and should be prioritized.
"As Europeans we should be greatly sensitive to the suffering of others, especially those who are running away from oppression, but we cannot afford to import those conflicts and the mindset of hatred which sometimes created them onto the European continent," Kantor said.
