Obviously Mankell has a very high opinion of himself and his books. He "doesn't want to hurt the wrong people" my foot! Clearly he means that his ideology is not strong enough for him to sacrifice income. Well, those are the supporters this "cause" deserves.

so don't bother your litle mind with decisions

First it was Elvis Costello, and now it's Henning Mankell. How will Israel survive without them !

Another leftist moron looking to feel sorry for muslim terrorists because they are intimidated by mooselim threats. Swedish women will look great in burka's.

F... him !

Until the movement grows to staggering proportions. That is the way we will defeat the apartheid state of Israel.

I hate to break it to you Henning but i've never heard of you - you're no Ikea!! Last time I checked peace didn't come of hate? I wonder what he'll call his next book??

I thought you were intelligent. You deceive me.

Notice that he's thinking about it...the greedy fool has ragged against Israel for years but doesn't mind making $ in Israel until now. Israel should pre-empt and remove his books from it's store shelves.

This is a brainwashed marxist-leninist guy from the 40's who calls for Israel's annihilation. So pls don't mention this guy's name even. He loves terrorists and anything that is anti-Israel, anit-democracy, anti-freedom. He believes that what Hamas. Iran, Mugabe etc. offer is true freedom. Disgusting.

from being translated into Swedish!

I am sorry. i didn't read your books, but i watched the series of Wallander and did love them... but did I hear your voice protecting the Jews of malmoe who are harrassed by Palestinians... i don't remember your voice.. I thought that you'd believe in democracy for ALL people .....i am looking foreward to hear your condemnation of these attacks,

idiotic causes. Include some other countries while you are at it and do them all a favor.

I've never heard of this guy, so it's no loss for me. What some people will do for some free publicity amazes me.

What a clueless, arrogant little man this is. Does he really think that anyone cares a fig about him? His stuff is serialised in the UK and its boring, boring, boring. Who needs to buy your crap?! It works both ways mate.

Thank you Mr. Mankell for making yourself known to me. I had never heard of you before, but now that I know who you are I will be sure NOT to buy you books.

Henning Mankell is not sic . just swedish!

... and its right to dignity and self-determination accorded to every other state, I wholeheartedly support this ban. Read Michael Crichton and/or Orson Scott Card instead. Both have been translated to Hebrew, unless I am badly mistaken.

And this from a Swede. You know how Swedes are, the country that was neutral vs. Nazi Germany, selling ball bearings to Hitler. Lots of guts, these Swedes. They are arrogant, contemptable people.

...but if I owned a bookstore there, I wouldn't stock any of this guy's trash.

maybe he should write a crime novel about an investigative reporter in 1942, who discovers that sweden exports german products under swedish labels and is followed by the gestapo and swedish nazis. at least a story with some historical truth

I have never heard of this European Anti-Semitic writer, but who really gives a dam if he does not publish his book in Hebrew. Hell I do not care if he ever publishes again. The incident was provoked by idiots on the flotilla who were craving an incident by whatever means necessary. Now all the puppet news media will line in the world and spout the Obama and Muslim party line about the story. Every person with a lick of common sense sees through this propaganda attempt by Muslims and Obama. The trouble is, common sense has become uncommon in this politically correct world.

If you are going to ban your books being translated into Hebrew (which in itself sounds like something from the Nazi-era Europe), please also stop accepting Jewish/Israeli money. Or are you one of these "righteous" hypocrites who is happy to accept Jewish monies when it suits him?

It's too bad when artists and such turn out to be Nazi types, but you don't have to trash their art. I have enjoyed the Wallander tv series, it's so nice as a contrast to Hollywood to have the brooding sick Swedish society as background. And many Israelis I have observed enjoy having a lithe blonde Swedish girlfriend.

I have never heard of this author. Does he drive a Volvo?
