Whatever. you're just proving my point. you have nothing to come with, you're just trying to trash talk me instead :) You're a sad and uneducated little person desperate for attention. And i'm quite sure everyone who was ever seen your crazy rants on Ynet knows it.
66. poor and innocent swede #65
mikki goldstein ,   lausanne   (04.28.06)
Give up ! she will always beat you in the field of insults, derogatory remarks, patronizing abuse and primitive rationale. She doesn't respect anybody, represents the extreme-right by her ideas and her methods.

Coretta ,   Cyprus   (04.28.06)
agree completely with you.
68. Sweden's protection of Nazi war criminals
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (04.28.06)
Just to add to all that's already been said above - Sweden gave protection to hundreds, maybe thousands, of Nazi war criminals and has never prosecuted a single one. Quite a record, even by the standards of the rest of Europe.
69. 68 Larry ,Eastbourne: You hit the truth
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.28.06)
70. 67 Coretta: Does Cyprus actually have a media
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.28.06)

71. 65 Intedi nensak : Lives in denial that's OK we are used to
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.28.06)
Swedes that live in denial Grow up you bore us
72. #68 #71
Intedi nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (04.28.06)
Just to point out that you're full of sh*t. Since when did we start protecting war criminals? It's quite possible one or two fled here under a fake name but it's not like we ever helped them. May i remind you that even though we had periods during WW2 that we're less proud of, we also helped save a huge amount of jews. We harboured thousands of jews from our neighbouring countries, including almost 100% of the danish jews. On top of that we sent Raoul Wallenberg to Hungary to save the jewish population in Budapest, a quite successful operation, you might have heard of it. So don't give us any bs about Sweden, a country i'm sure you know nothing about. // Gabrielle... hehe. i don't know if i should laugh or cry. are you really this stupid or is it just an act? I'm done with you. I don't even need to disprove you anymore, you're quite successful in making an ass out of yourself anyway.
73. Well said Riv

74. 71 Intedi nensak: get off and poat on your Swedish webs
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.28.06)
your foul language shows again you are a RANTER and need to grow up why coming to a Jewish website in Israel - since you have NOTHING of value to add for Israel and or Jews get happy with your swedish hate forums there are enough for you to post You bore us with your foul language rant
75. Intedi nensak
Michelle   (04.28.06)
Thanks for explanation into Swedish politics. It's sad how many civilized countries have bowed to Islam by damning Jews and Israel. This occurs in the United States as well and it's sickening.
76. Sweden - the stronghold of political correctness
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.29.06)
Dear friends, you shouldn´t be so shocked over the morally despicable behavior and conduct of the Swedish people and the Swedish government. This phenomenon has been going on for decades. Sometimes I wonder if my countrymen in Israel are dumb, if the play dumb or if they are simply blind. The most anti-Semitic country in Europe besides France is Sweden. (DON´T TELL ME YOU DIDN´T KNOW THAT!) This is not a matter of opinion - this is a matter of fact. Recent opinion polls in Sweden reveal that more than 70% - yes you heard right - more than 70% of the Swedes have been brain washed by Swedish mass media´s anti-Israeli/anti-Semitic bias and misconceptions. This means that 70% of the Swedes believe that terrorism against us Jews/Israelis is considered to be "okay". This also means that 70% of the Swedes believe in the myth of the non existing, fictitious "Palestine" which has the same firm link with reality as a combination of a drug addict who is hallucinating and "Alice in Wonderland". The Swedish national ideology is to pay lip service to and suck up to blood stained despots of the Arab world, Cuba, China, Iran and suchlike romantic spots. The Swedish national ability to maintain a sound and healthy relation with Israel and maintaining a high degree of moral standards has shifted between very poor and extremely poor. The Swedish national soul is based on: 1.)Lies and hypocrisies. 2.)Political correctness. 3.)The nasty habit of refusing to acknowledge the fundamental difference between right or wrong. 4.)The nasty habit of refusing to acknowledge the fundamental difference between Good and Evil. 5.)Jealousy and envy. The Swedes can not accept, can not tolerate strong, successful, well educated and charismatic individuals. In other words: Swedes hate winners. 6.)Nazism and Communism. 7.)Materialism and the denial of the sacred nature of the human soul and the human value. 8.)Unbelievably, incredibly high taxes that are supposed to improve or enhance the "qualities" of the crumbling "welfare society". 9.)The nasty habit of refusing to acknowledge the fundamental difference between self defence and aggression. 10.)The most Swedish phenomenon of all Swedish phenomenons - the core of the Swedish mentality - the very nature and foundation of the Swedish culture, the very essence and bedrock of everything thas is supposed to be Swedish - namely : "JANTELAGEN" or translated into English: "Don´t -believe -that -you- are -something- special-law." It´s certainly not a law but rather a custom or a mentality. Now you are asking yourselves: "How on earth can a western democracy like Sweden boycott Israel during the military exercises in Italy and how can the Swedes invite blood stained, murderous, bloodthirsty, Jew hating barbarian Hamas terrorists to the city of Malmö?" The correct question should be: Why hasn´t the US invaded Sweden yet? Why hasn´t Israel boycotted and punished Sweden yet? Why hasn´t the Swedish ambassador been thrown out from Israel yet? How can morons sit in the Israeli government and still maintaining diplomatic relations with a country that finances terrorism against our country? How can morons in Israel still naively believe in the myth of the Swedish paradise? I´m asking a frank question to the entire Jewish people, the state of Israel and the rest of the world: When will you boycott and punish the Swedes and force them down to their knees? Why are you letting yourselves to be deceived by the Swedish politically correct lip service? Best regards Alexander - a New Conservative realist and political hawk.

DR   (04.29.06)
A small point of order regarding our learned friend's comments in #9: if your goal is semantics rather than contents then surely you know that Sweden doen not have a coalition government but rather a socialist minority government... At any rate, as in any democracy small sectorial parties will have the ability to influence politics, however, the views of the socialist government ministers are clearly pro-Palestinian in terms of foreign policy. There is no need to hide this fact, as there is no need, as I have seen in responses to "Intedi nensak", and I cincerely hope no intention, to bash the entire Swedish population, Chistian, Muslim, Jewish or otherwise, for the actions of their elected officials. Let's rather hope there will be regime change as well as change of foreign policy in the next Swedish elections, and refrain from any mindless generalisations.
78. #40 "BUY AMERICAN" is STUYOT!
DR   (04.29.06)
...come on with your ignorence regarding business facts! So let me get you right: the "American" car that we should buy is DaimlerChrysler (selling Mercedes) or Ford (selling Volvo)? Or where these the brands that you thought we should boycott - I get confused?

Intedi Nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (04.29.06)
Yes it truly is sad, but the opposition grows stronger every day. Hope is not yet lost :)
80. Swedish animosity to Israel
Ilya Meyer ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (04.30.06)
It is a mistake to brand Swedes as a nation of anti-Semites. They are not, but they are frighteningly naïve, with a love of ready-packaged solutions so they don’t have to get their hands dirty working out details, and with a penchant for being told what to think. They love the underdog, which they choose from a black-and-white palette. Above all, Swedes have an instinctive distaste for conflict. All of which explains why given the current climate in the country, the Swedish govt. will continue to sideline Israel while protesting its affection for her. And here is the current climate in a nutshell – all events of the past 30 days: 1. Swedish Chancellor of Justice says Muslim calls in Stockholm mosque to “kill the Jews” are OK, since there is a conflict a few thousand km away in the Middle East. 2. Swedish Minister of Justice grants visas to Hamas, although Sweden has branded Hamas a terror organisation. The explanation? “An organisation may be terrorist, but not necessarily its members.” Think hard about that one… 3. Swedish PM withdraws from European peacekeeping exercises – feels it is better NOT to train life-saving missions with 7 partners than to train with 1 partner with whom Sweden has never trained before. 4. The Muslim Council of Sweden demands legislation to enshrine sharia law for the country’s Muslims. 5. There are 400,000 Muslims in Sweden. There are 16,000 Jews in Sweden. 6. National elections will be held in September this year, and the current govt. is trailing in the polls. Draw your own conclusions.
81. Nokia is Finnish, nothing to do with Sweden
Rune ,   Copenhagen, Denmark   (05.02.06)
And have a big development center in Copenhagen too, where I've worked several times. If you want to boycott Swedish cell phones, perhaps SonyEricson - though I guess it's mostly Japanese these days. Volvo trucks is still Swedish owned I think. And IKEA of course. Not that anyone in his right mind would shop there anyway.
82. response to 76
Stefan ,   Sweden   (05.05.06)
I read your talkback and I have some questions. That number 70% I dont get a clear opinion were that number comes from and what it stand for. Is it a poll that say that 70% of the swedes hate jews ??? when it comes to Palestine and Israel. From what I understand the official position from Sweden is that they support a 2 party state. One Israeli state and one Palestinian. What I understand is that its group both in Israel and Palestine that work against sutch a solution and those that favor one. Whats remarkable is that you claim that the swedish soul is about jealosy, hate and hypocracy. And it seemes like you like to label swedes to be only nazis and communist. In what way have Sweden sucked up to the arab world , Cuba , Iran and China ??? Maybe you can be more specific there. It would be interesting to get an answer from you about that. You show yourself very upset over the granted visa for this Hamas representative. The visa is granted on to him personal. If he had been suspected of being a terrorist that would never had happend. Its not sweden that grant hamas visa since the swedish govermnet will not have any meeting with him. Since sweden are sutch a bloodthirsty nation , why havent sweden been in war for almost 200 years. Damn sweden have to be very evil right ??? Its abit Ironic that you puke out all this hate over sweden. And what is your solution ??? To ask US to invade sweden and that Israel shall boycot and punish sweden and kick out the swedish ambassador from Israel. You claim other to have bloodthurst but you make suggestions that show that you are the one that have the bloodthurst. I can come to one simple conclusion . You are one of the extreme in your country. If you had a majority behind you I guess Sweden would have been attacked by USA and Israel would have Punish sweden. You are sutch a warmonger.
