1. Bravo! More needed.

Education is the key to the denial of some very ignorant types who would use their ignorance to promote more anti semitism. Bravo for educating these kids as to the real dangers of the repeating of this sin. Perhaps some of the posters as well who hate Jews and Israel?
2. There is only punishment for a nazi

What more can i say?:D Education is the key and heres proof that it works.Even if one nazi drops their view ,it helps make for a better world for all of us.We are all human after all.
4. These aren't Neo-Nazis, they just revel in unpopular views
Adam ,   UK   (06.03.08)
Mind you, they should advocate pro-Israel views - if it's anything like my experience, it's likely to make you Mr. Unpopular in University circles, certainly.
5. #4 Adam, Mr. Unpopular you're not alone standing with Israel

do not deviate from the causes you believe in, stay vocal
6. The Danes & Norwegian resistance knew what to do and did it!
Stewart ,   USA   (06.04.08)
Even a number of their Nazi sympathizers defected to fight the Nazis. The Sweedes (most) didn't understand that if you don't stand for something, you stand for nothing. They're still suffering for it till this day.
7. Still too many out there like this one:

Dear Stewart, The big difference between Sweden, on the one hand, and Denmark and Norway, on the other, was that Denmark and Norway were invaded by Germany. Sweden was not. 1940, Sweden was surrounded by countries invaded by either Germany or the Soviet union, or desperately fighting the invaders. At the time, Sweden had let Finland borrow a third of their airforce. What, exactly, is it you consider that Sweden should have done?

If you read the article completely and knew your own country's history, Nils, then you would know what Sweden should have done - and that would have been to NOT close its doors to Jewish refugees. during WWII. Sweden is not perfect. Your country recently donated $41m to UNRWA in 2006 and donated $300m to the kleptocracy calling itself Palestine in 2007. Funding terrorism, terrorists, and genocide is nothing to be proud of. Sweden's concern for palestinian refugees seems to be much greater than it ever was for Jewish refugees. Jan Bernhoff, from Sweden, also was in attendence and was a speaker with the insane and unstable Admadinejad to discuss the demography of the Holocaust in Teheran in December 2006. Europe continues to abandon Jews and Israel while the rising Muslim population changes the social dynamic in European cities. New Muslim immigrants are not mixing in well with your native populations. I'd say it's time for Swedes, like all nations in the EU, to take a deep look inside. Hostility towards Israel from Europeans and your pandering to Muslims will be the singular source towards your own demise.

Hello, We are in agreement concerning almost everything. I have certainly never claimed Sweden was perfect. I perfectly agree that Sweden should have accepted Jewish refugees in the late 30s when there still was time. Fortunately, we did in 1943. I do not like Swedish funding of the PA. We are, I also believe, in agreement concerning Ahmadinejad. What you write, however, has little bearing on my question to Stewart.
