36. Sweden's Love affair with the Arabs.
Samir S. Halabi ,   Cannes France   (10.08.09)
sweden it's seems has either been taken in by the hamas propoganda machine, or they have genuinely fallen in love with those lying scumbags.Sweden has a large muslim minority whom have threatened and attacked Kippa wearing jewish citizens of Stockholm and malmo. The swedisah authorities instead of protecting & defending their jewish citizens from unprovoked attacks by muslim fanatics, have just pointed out to those Jewish citizens who wear skull caps, don't antagonize the muslims by wearing skull caps and demonstrating for Israel. Possibly the Swedish authorities are frightened by these Muslims, as they don't stand up against them. Sweden should be careful what they say about Israel, there own record as far as world war two is concerned is far from clean.
37. WAY TO GO SWEDEN !!!!
USA ,   USA   (10.08.09)
USA stands with you.
38. DANNY AYALON YOU ARE PATHETIC
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   Safed Israel   (10.08.09)
Talk about indecisive.I am surprised you can decide to get out of bed in the morning.Please retire and let a capable person do your job.I voluntarily offer to replace you.
39. Proud Swede( israel democratic enough to publish this?)
Alex ,   Stockholm-Sweden   (10.08.09)
I have said it before and I will say it again; We are happy to actually cut ties with child killers and murderers who have no morals. You can boycott all you want,just keep in mind our products have better markets worldwide(your country doesn't even make 1% of that market). Keep in mind that this is just the beginning,today Sweden,norway,spain and etc,tomorrow the whole planet will cut ties with israel. As for your comments regarding Europes arab population I totally disagree. We have good ties with them,they work hard(ok not all of them),their food is tasty and all in all they at least have morals(unlike you). And besides it really wouldn't have made any difference,since if you guys had the majority in europe,we probably would had to speak in hebrew today(and wear keepah's)
40. Watch what your talking about
Mark ,   Netherlands   (10.08.09)
As some one who lives in europe I can assure you that there is no ill-will towards muslims. I'm not denying the fact that there is racism in europe(like everywhere else),but does not have anything to do particularly with muslims(blacks and asians are also victims of racism here). So please don't make this sound like you know whats going on here. Best assumption is that you guys are just jealous that you cant live in europe anymore(the way it used to be before WW2).
41. All countries not in Jerusalem must be expelled
Hen ,   Holon   (10.09.09)
They have all spat in Israel's face and must be expelled. If you want to have an embassy in the capital fine, otherwise, get the hell out.
42. Sweden in a transition period, new political party gaining
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (10.08.09)
A new political party is rapidly gaining voters in Sweden. They are called Sverigedemokraterna, or Sweden Democrats, or the Swedish Democrats in english. It's a center-party, with the profile-agenda of limiting the muslim immigration. It has much in common with the Dutch Party for Freedom headed by Mr. Geert Wilders. In the most recent polls SD has been getting up to 5.9% of the voters, and it is increasing every month. One year ago the polls gave SD less than 4% (parliament threshold). SD is gaining momentum very rapidly right now, due to a massive number of incidents of immigration-related violence during this summer. SD will enter the parliament with these numbers, and would be Swedens 4th largest party if elections were held today. Many predict SD to gain a lot more until the elections next fall. 5.9% don't seem that much, but the curve points straight up, and that is the hope. SD have increased its voters with over 50% in the last year alone. Swedish papers are reporting about burning cars, gang-rapes, hate-crimes, violence, intolerance, attacks on ambulances, and firetrucks each and every day. These crimes are often associated with immigrants. Sweden is in a transition period right now, going from a over-protected little haven to a country waking up to the fact that over 15% of the polulation is muslim, and a really unhealthy amount of daily crimes stemming from what is believed to be the uncontrolled arab / muslim immigration.
43. Not Sweden, but Isarel+Hamas committed the Gaza war crimes!
TheHague   (10.08.09)
And as we all know, Israel's crimes were a lot worse than those of Hamas.
44. Even 6000,000 is not enough.
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen   (10.09.09)
Sweden didn't even have the courage to fight the most evil force in history---the nazis. Imagine, remaining neutral against the nazis and claiming to be for democracy, freedom, and human rights. All they did was sit on their bigoted asses and enjoy the war profits. So, it is not surprising that they would have an out and out antisemite like Bildt as their foreign minister. This arrogant twit insults every decent person's intelligence by claiming freedom of speech prevented him from condemning a blood libel against Israel. Funny how he sure doesn't worry about freedom of speech when it comes to accusing Israel. Those responders who condemn Israel for responding to thousands of missiles and rockets launched against Israeli towns are the worst hypocrites with Sweden located near Norway, Denmark, and other friendly nations. I'm sure they would remain non-violent if the Danes launched thousands of rockets against Stockholm.
45. #18
Harold ,   Syracuse, USA   (10.09.09)
You will need Sweden spare parts as long as you have Swedish cars running in Israel. I was in Sweden where I saw only Israeli fruits and flowers in their market sold by Iraqis immigrants.
46. Plenty of posts from Swedes
Morris the Jew ,   USA   (10.09.09)
What are the Swedes doing on the site of an Israeli paper? Spewing their sanctimonious bile and anti-Semitism -- poorly masked as anti-Israel-ism. Israel recall your ambassador -- since the Swedes are virtually at war with you.
47. Headkin in Swedsih report was wishful thniking
Mats Carlsson ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (10.09.09)
The report about Carl Bildt's reaction to the Goldstone report was headlined in a way that suggested that he supported it. However, he didn't urge Israel to do anything more than the US did, i.e. to continue to deal with the recommendations of the report by its own authorities (not the UN). The only difference is that the US says the Goldstone reccommendations is completely one-sided, which is correct. The headline of the Swedish media report was somewhat exagerated by the reporter, and we all know how the Swedish media is trash and unprofessional (cf. Aftonbladet). So Israel should not react too strongly to this. You have to remember that the Swedish media can be compared to the Arab and the Iranian media, i.e. extremely unprofessional and anti-Israel. This is why it is important that the Israel Government Press Office implements a strict ban on Swedish journalists from Aftonbladet, Sveriges Radio and news agency TT (Tidningarnas TelegrambyrÄ).
48. Number 33
Zak ,   Milwaukee, USA   (10.09.09)
I'd love to see how the Swedes would act if a nearby territory randomly launched tens of thousands of rockets into Sweden for three years.
49. CHILL OUT PEOPLE!
andre ,   Melbourne, Australia   (10.09.09)
Sweden is a boring country without any political importance. How else would they make the news besides controversial Israel-bashing rhetoric? If Israel did not exist, most of the world would not know that Sweden exists. Who cares what they have to say?? They are the same pathetic clowns just like Iranian politicians - gaining support by spreading rhetoric. And the fact that you are even replying to the posts by Swedes in these talkbacks you are doing them a massive favour, trust me.
50. The Foolish Swedes
Rob ,   USA   (10.09.09)
Bildt has his foot up his arse and has now made it very clear what he is all about. Don't waste your breath on him. He is gone over and is lost..
51. #7, Arab, israel isnt racist, but Arab states are
David ,   Boston, USA   (10.09.09)
Every Arab state is racist to different degrees. Jordan palestine bans Jews from citizenship and land ownership. Entities like Hamas call for killing Jews. Muslim Wakf desecrate the Temple Mount, the Holy of Holies. Egypt persecutes Coptic Christians. Iraq? They all hate each other there. However, Israel is an oasis of freedom and democracy for all and that is what the Arab world cant stand. Good news. israel was there first and will be around long after these made up Arab states of the 20th century disappear and there will never be a Palestinian Arab state other than Jordan, not because israel doesnt want one, but because the Arab world has never wanted one. It has been 100 years and the arab world always say no. Live with lies, or live at peace with Israel. I dont care, but Israel will continue to thrive no matter what the racists and terrorists try.
52. #47, Mats Carlsson, Swedish government must be held acctable
David ,   Boston   (10.09.09)
This isnt about Sweden, but the government and how they treat freedom or lack of respect for it. They only seem to censure if its Israel and allow blatant lies to prosper. Thats not freedom of speach but freedom of hate. Its a symptom of the colapse of Eurabia not standing for freedom, but preventing it. Hundreds of years of experience and Europe has learned nothing. Its disappointing.
53. #45 Perfect use for scrap Volvos
Yoni ,   Sydney   (10.09.09)
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/israel/images/merkava001.jpg Won't need spare parts from Sweden at all.
54. Yes, We need a dome to protect us
Eyal ,   Israel   (10.09.09)
And to seal ourselves hermeticaly from INHUMANITY
55. I wonder what whould you support if you were
Eyal ,   Israel   (10.09.09)
under constant rocket attack. Just to remind you. The attaks are aimed to kill civilians in towns with people that were never asked more than just to leave simple and peaceful life. You hypocrite
56. #39 Alex you are a disgrace
Leo ,   malmö   (10.09.09)
Alex. Your opinion does in no way represent the views of people in Sweden. The vast majority understand and respect Israel as a democratic country with the same rigth as any other country to defend herself when threatened. I suggest that you try to post your stupid and ignorant comments in a free and open Hamas forum. I am sure they have plenty of venues for free debate -not. .
57. Alex from Sweden
Alex ,   NYC   (10.09.09)
Swede, you soon will be minority in your own country. Too bad. By the way, your country just nominated another Jewish person to become a Noble laureate. Regarding your comment about the markets worldwide, Sweden's hospitals extensively use Israeli technology. Anyone with a computer uses Israeli technology.
58. why just recall the ambassador?
Eshkol Hakofer   (10.09.09)
why not declare war?
59. to #39, Proud Swede
Michael ,   New York   (10.09.09)
Oh you pathetic fool... you know nothing of what you speak. Someday very soon you will be genuflecting in a mosque 5 times a day against your will. You're an idiot with no understanding of history, geopolitics or morals.
60. To #43
Michael ,   New York   (10.09.09)
who is "we all"? The idiots who have no clue and have been brainwashed by their muslim usurpers? Hmmmm. glad I don't live in Eurabia.
