ENGLISH - DO YOU SPEAK IT?
32. Sweden is not expected to appologise fir the Libel
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (08.25.09)
However, Sweden is expected to condemn this disgusting display of anti-Semitism. Yes, Sweden did give sanctuary to 8,000 Jews from Denmark when requested to do so by Duckwitz and no doubt "saved" others as well but the Swedes could have done a hell of a lot more! Anti-Semitism in Sweden and much of Europe is rife no doubt spurred on by the Muslims who are well on their way to turning Europe into an Islamic State. Many seem to have forgotten the recent decision by the mayor or Malmo to ban supporters of the Israel Davis Cup team from watching the match because of fears of Neo-Nazi and far Left violence! Sweden is a far left country and tolerates Neo-Nazis? No, it is just a Jew hating and anti-Semitic country which should be ostracized by world Jewry! This is not Libel. It is the truth!

ah i was only having some fun, i know it isnt your first language, so sorry about that. but as to what you are saying; there are no tax funds being spent on it, it is privately owned ( the trade union owning the majority share are not government funded and the other sharholder belongs to a media group based elsewhere in scandinavia - i think norway, but it could be denmark). as to the point of this piece, look at my comment on #20. nobody takes this crap seriously, especially due to the nature of the "newspaper" it appeared in. its mere lieberman trying to make it appear like he can actually accomplish something.
35. One swallow does not mean spring
Raphael ,   Netanya   (08.25.09)
One righteous Wallenberg is a homeopathic pill compared to the crowd of neo nazis, holocaust deniers, Jew haters from all Europe who found a safe heaven, with their islamic fanatic friends under the swedish sun. The Swedes saved 8.000 Jews, but allowed an invasion of 1/2 million primitive muslim hatemongers.
36. MAKING EXCUSES FOR 'MIXED' RECORDS I DON'T DO!
David P. ,   Capitola, CA   (08.25.09)
they ALL conspired against us, apathy & in action are also responses. Thank them for their humanity after the war? Why? so they can demonstrate that they actually do have an ounce of compassion to spare for us? Sorry, I won't buy it!
37. Shoah Survivor
Harold ,   Liverpool, USA   (08.25.09)
I believe this lady. Lieberman knows nothing about Sweden becuase he was raised in Russian. He and his followers are creating a huge problem for Israel. Get rid of this man as soon as possible because is is unsuitable.

The Swedish paper is accusing the IDF and not the Jews. To solve this problem a committee has to exhume few recent burried Palestinian bodies and investigate if body parts are missing.
39. to #34 the main aditor in that tabloid actually like
ghostq   (08.25.09)

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.25.09)
Lieberman only showed ignorance by comparing this article to what happened during WWII . He also ridiculised himself by asking apologies from the Swedish governement . Your Ambassador here showed more sensivity to our feelings than your governement , he certainly knows us better as those in Sweden . By attacking the IDF , we all feeled attacked . You have to know that our army is not made up by proffessionals , but by a great part of the population . There are'nt much families who had'nt , have or will have soldiers in their midst . There are'nt much people who have'nt lost a family member , a friend or a neigboor in Israel's defensive wars . That why we all feel attacked by this article and the non condemnation of it by Swedish Authorities .

and what does that have to do with tax money?

harry   (08.25.09)
and i like your post here. you got the point exactly. it's one of those tabloids. it is being trumped up by government propaganda as some sort of major publication in order to evoke a reaction from israelis.

Stefan ,   Gothenburg Sweden   (08.27.09)
Historian. You say that its not relevant to the public debate what Sweden did during ww2. Lieberman thought it was relevant and brought it into the public debate as an official spokesperson for Israel. You are wrong it obvious matters so this response matters to show what Sweden did back then , good and bad. I agree that its a divert to move the attention away from what happens in present day.
45. No 10
Stefan ,   Gothenburg Sweden   (08.27.09)
How is a woman speaking of her life and how she escaped the concentration camp irrellevant ? Noone forced Liebermann to say what he had to say and he is responsable for his own words. The difference about Sweden was that just before the end of the war while they still used the concentration camps Sweden was able to use their neutrality to take busses down through nazi germany to the concentration camp and save people from a certain death. No other country could do that at that time. Its not a failure to save people from a certain death. Goldas story bear witness to what Sweden did during that time.
