1. anybody ever seen the swedish chef on the muppets?
zionist forever   (01.28.10)
First the Swedes were making stories about organ harvesting. Then they start calling for the unilateral decleration of an arab state with Jerusalem as its capital despite the fact countries like the US, Israel and many EU countries were against it. Now the Swedes are comparing anti semitism to zionism The only anti semites around here come from Sweden.
2. It sounds like Nazi Germany all over again
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NCI   (01.28.10)
Just that they changed the words from Judaism to Zionism to marginalize and blame the innocent Jewish victims as guilty of the extreme violence against them.
3. Malmo is 25% Muslim; Mayor is pandering for votes

8. Malmo
marvls ,   nyc   (01.29.10)
Let the Jews make aliya from Malmo. Israel will be enriched an Malmo will get what it deserves - no Jews and violent, hateful muslims
9. Cowards
.   (01.29.10)
Not surprising from Sweden, a bunch of Cowards, they are just a bunch of appeasers, they are looking to appease to the Muslims who are overrunning their country I hate the Muslims, however I hate the Anti-Semetic Europeans a million times more, they are responsible for most of the problems in the world including Isreal I almost hope the Muslims overtake Europe after what Europe has done to the Jewish people
11. The Mayor is Right
Good for the Mayor   (01.29.10)
What did you expect? Jews who demonstrate in support of crimes against other people's children shouldn't expect taxpayers of any country to pay for their protection. Why should Jews in any european country have more 'protection' than Palestinians have in Gaza? You have to chutzpah to defend the savagery of your government, then you live with the results.
12. Sounds like the Mayor is promoting Anti-semtism
David ,   Boston, USA   (01.29.10)
Did he speak out when the gazans were bombing Israel? Why isnt he protecting minorites and pampering to those promoting racism? Sickness in Eurabia is spreading.
13. Time for Jews to leave Sweden I think.
yoni ,   Sydney   (01.29.10)
14. Like living in Hebron
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (01.29.10)
It seems as if they are living in Hebron. Worse.
15. #10 OBSERVER.
(01.29.10)
YOU ARE COMPLETELY IGNORANT. ZIONISM AND HERTZL CAME MANY DECADES PRIOR TO THE NATIONAL NAZI MOVEMENT IN GERMANY. THE ZIONIST CONGRESS IN BAZEL WAS IN THE MID 1800'S TO EARLY 1900'S. WAY BEFORE THE HOLOCAUST AND WAY BEFORE THE NAZIS CAME TO POWER. ZIONISM WAS BORN IN EUROPE WAY BEFORE NAZISM AND MOST EUROPEAN JEWS SUPPORTED IT IN PRINCIPAL. ZIO9NISM IS THE SELF DETERMINATION OF THE JEWS, WHICH IS NOT A RELIGION, BUT A NATION, FIRST. THIS WAS THEIR NATIONAL SELF ASPIRATION AND DETERMINATION TO BE A FREE PEOPLE IN A FREE LAND OF THEIR ANCESTORS, ISRAEL, ZION....THIS IS WHY THEY CALLED IT ZIONISM. STUPID! hameed aboughaze, iranian
16. Malmo and it''s inhabitants
DT ,   TA Israel   (01.29.10)
This city in a large part an "Islamic enclave" part of which is a virtual "no go" for the Police so it is hardly surprising that another "tail wags another dog " in the EU
17. #11 say what?
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.29.10)
Your post is filled with so much stupidity, I wouldn't know where to start... But frankly, I don't feel like wasting my precious sleeping hours addressing such rubbish. I just wonder: did you write all this rubbish in humor, or do you really believe in it?...
18. Some clarifications from a swedish speaker
Michael Diamant ,   Tel Aviv   (01.29.10)
A) The demonstration held by the local jews were for peace.. and thus attacked. B) Not only jews flee Malmö. Swedes do aswell. C) Sweden is not becoming muslim, Malmö is. Currently there are 100 000 religious muslims among Swedens 9 million people. Compare this to Israel. D) There has been an outcry in swedish media. E) Majority of Jews move to Stockholm, not Israel. While I wish more jews to come to Israel from the west what they will find here is a lot of bad treatment by everything and everyone that they are not used to in the civilized world.
19. As a swede I feel ashame
פיטר ,   Sweden   (01.29.10)
As a Swedish citizen I feel a lot a shame of how weak our politicians seem to have become. Racism in Sweden seems to be accepted if the racism and antisemitism are carried by the immigrants. I hope israeli citizens will know that Sweden in general is far from a country that doesn't like the jewish people. Unfortunatelly people in Sweden doesn't know much about judaism and Israel in general and what is potrayed in the media of Israel is just the conflict in the region and not of everything else that is so good about Israel.
20. Is future gloomy also for America ?
Ron B. ,   Lod   (01.29.10)
Some in the Left have made allies with the devil. The Left has betrayed its own principles of universal human rights and equality when it has put its lot with that of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Iranian Ayatollahs and their bagmen in Hamas and Hezbullah. Consult: http://xrl.us/bgs93x
21. Between good and evil, Sweden is neutral…
Ron B. ,   Lod   (01.29.10)
If we needed any proof that anti-Semitism is alive and well, it was provided by the cynical farce of the Durban conference sponsored by the UN. The conference gave a platform to the Holocaust denying Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. To their credit, a number of countries including Poland and Germany boycotted the conference, and more delegates walked out on Ahmadinejad’s speech. But many more delegates stayed and applauded his racist incitement. And a day after the speech, the United Nations is trying to whitewash the proceedings, suppressing legitimate protest and pretending everything is fine.. Between good and evil, Sweden is neutral. That was their stand in World War II as well. Nowadays modern anti-Semitism is blooming again as explained at : http://xrl.us/beiqsm
22. To #11
Sweden is lost   (01.29.10)
The Jews in Sweden weren't expressing "support of crimes against other people's children." That's the way bigots like you choose to describe what's actually happening. You want to make your vile propaganda seem like truth, to incite more violence against innocent Jews. The real truth is that Jews were expressing support for the innocents in Israel who were being bombarded by rockets from Gaza. They were also standing up for Israel's right to exist and defend itself, a hard thing for a minority of 700 to do when surrounded by thousands of intolerant, hateful, violent bigots. People should be free to demonstrate peacefully without fear of demonization by bigots like you, or of murderous attacks by the violent fanatical Muslims with whom you have allied yourself.
23. Quick rescue more Swedish blondes & bring them to Israel
Ruri   (01.29.10)
Jewish men, you know your duty. :-)
24. mayor of Malmo
charicleia ,   USA   (01.29.10)
1. what is the mayor's email address? let's mount a campaign and flood his email with response to this irresponsible politician. 2. Malmö is at the southern tip of Sweden and closest to Denmark. There is regular service ferry between the two countries. It once was a beautiful quasi resort city
25. Haiti will not make Cast Lead go away
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (01.29.10)
Cast Lead was a real turning point for Israel. I'd suggest to Israelis to get rid of the politicians who made that disastrous mistake (I know some are already gone, but some are still there, and unfortunately the Likud-BushNeocon mindset that overwhelming force can accomplish everything is still there).
26. ilmar banned audience from Israel-Sweden Davis Cup
bob ,   stockholm sweden   (01.29.10)
Ilmar Reepalu earlier banned audience from watching the Israel-Sweden Davis Cup match in Malmo (2009), citing the 'security situation' in the Baltic Tennis Hall. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1068863.html : "But soon people started to doubt there were only security concerns behind the decision. Malmo Mayor Ilmar Reepelu said he would have preferred if the game were not played at all. Carlos Gonzales Ramos, deputy chairman of the city committee that made the decision, said he sees the empty stands as a protest against what he believes was an Israeli genocide in Gaza. "
27. Swedish Punks Bow to Muslims
disgusted ,   zion   (01.29.10)
the swedes cower in the corner afraid of their muslim poulations and so we get remarks like this. It just shows that the swedes are a pathetic group of cowards ... every jew ought to leave the country .. they do not deserve to have a jewish community ... let them rot with the muslims who will turn on them next .. and this is the peace prize crowd
28. We shouldn't expect anything better than this out of Europe
USA   (01.29.10)
A good number of EU states will become Islamic within decades they are afraid of their muslim populations who are also a growing constituance.
29. Malmo
Petero18 ,   Toronto canada   (01.29.10)
Malmo, like Marseilles France have muslim populations in excess of 25%. It is thought that within 10 years, they will be muslim majority cities. There is much more of this to come, not only in Malmo, but im more significant places like Amsterdam. I would not put too much stress on European anti-semitism with this, this is mostly pure muslim anti semitism, with Dhimmi Swedes playing along for political purposes. Nonetheless, this is our future in Muslim Europe.
30. amazing to see open encouragement of violence
Ilana   (01.29.10)
those who encourage violence cannot ever defend any victims. Either you are against violence or you are not. You cannot legitimately condone violence against one group and protest it against another! No logic, no sense, no valid argument.
