Have you noticed that those 'progressive moralists' who foam over Israel's supposed 'collective punishment policy', behave exactly as they accuse the Israelis. It's no use trying any longer to convince the hopelessly irredeemable what is right and wrong, let their stupidity be their punishment. Since the birth of the world the majority has always chosen to wallow in ignorance.

don't need your trash written in the holy language!

What am, I going to read now. Oh wait, maybe every other book that doesn't completely suck. Get a life Sweden - you will be run by barbarian hordes in 10 years, and you only have yourselves to blame.

B"H The less of it comes to the Holy Land in the Holy Tounge, the better.

I just decided not to buy his books anymore

I have just discovered what a lunatic this guy is. And we have had all his books. Well, they are right now filling up our local waste paper container....

From now on, I am no longer buying Mankell's books, in English or any other language.

other Swedish cities that used to be Swedish, but now are annexed regions of the European caliphate of Islam !!!

Crime writers are 10 a penny. I would highly recommend that from now on, Israelis find an alternative author to satisfy their interest in this type of fiction, and boycott all books written by this man no matter what language they're printed in. Who is he, anyway?...I've never seen any books by him on sale, so just how 'popular' is he? That way, the problem's sloved for everyone -and he doesn't even need to pay for a telephone call to his publisher....

I've never seen such a racist act disguised as politics as this.

Being a popular writer of fiction does not mean that you have to live in a fictional world., or that you actually have any intelligence. Get real. You have basically stated that you support the HAMAS government of Gaza, who were voted into power on a charter of destroying Israel and killing the Jews. Strange thinking here, Blame the Jews for everything. The people of GAZA who voted in HAMAS are innocent of waging war against Israel. Israel returned Gaza to the inhabitants, who then procceded to declare war on Israel, and fired 6 000 rockets into it That does not concern you, because in a fictitional world, that neverreally happened. That Israel's first responsibility is to its citizens does not concern you. YOU declared war on Israel by trying to breach a military blockade on a group who is at war with Israel. YOU support launching rockets at the Israeli civilian population. I dont suppose that you considered banning the translation of your books into Arabic did you?

No one will care. I can't say I have ever read a translated Swedish book....or ever will, so it wont put a crimp in my life or anyone else's. More sensationalist nonsense

Where do they come up with these statements on Israel. Why any Israeli would want to read the books of this antisemitic is beyond me. The world has been turned upside down for quite some time being that evil is embraced as the proper etiquette to be followed. When terrorists are the righteous then all sanity is gone, and statements like Wallander are deemed proper and defensible. The nut cases are ruling the asylum, and good people must defend themselves as if they are mass murderers. The world is in a sad state of affairs!

I would suggest that every Jew and everyone with good moral fiber ban his lousy books altogether.

Gee. Perhaps Israel should ban translations of the Old Testament into Swedish!

What hubris this guy has. I can assure him the Israelis won't give a damn if he decides not to have his books translated into Hebrew. I wonder how much of his world wide royalties he donates to Gaza? In my view, the guy is a meshugena of the first order.

and i have never herd of him. so i can say that the argument that his books are best sellers in israel is a baseless argument exactly as all the other things he says

I hope he writes it. Eat your heart out Leon Uris

in Israel? I heard you name for the first time just now, reading this article.... we will survive.... there are bookshops in Israel full of good books.... bye bye.....

This person sounds like an idiot. Our lives will not be affected if we do not read his stupid books. His pocket will feel it however

Does he really think that not reading his detective books will hurt Israelis in some way?! the man obviously is unaware of the contribution and importance of detective books to our world (hint - minor. especially his, which I , for one, never heard of),. And thank you, there are very good English, American and other detective books. I think Israelis will be able to go on living, and fairly good, without his "masterpieces". how ridiculous! please please boycott us. I can't wait for you to boycott us.

They are not that good anyway!
