that from the bottom of my heart right down to the toes on my feet (even if the toenails sometimes get dirty) I adore the Jewish people. Maybe it's because I made a point of really getting to experience their genuine kindness. I found only goodness and kindness in a Jew. They are wonderful people and I wish I could help them. The world is truly a very u nkind planet to live on!

It sounds as if she was saying that Jews are like everyone else, and what is all the fuss about. If someone had never encountered any Jewish people in his or her life, I think that reaction would be understandable.

Sonja Abrahamsson didn't write anything terrible, she appears to be against racism and was misunderstood. What is damning is the antisemitism that she is reacting against. Apparently it is a prevalent enough that she felt the need to tweet against it. Thank you, Sonja!

Emperor Constantine paganized the Messianic Jewish religion called Christianity. If you read C.J. Koster's book "Come Out of Her My People," you will see what was done to make the religion complete with a pagan sabbath of Sunday to worship the sun as pagan religions do with a sungod JeZeus and mother/baby gods like Isis and Ra of Egypt, Ishtar and Tamuz of Babylon, etc. It is heartbreaking to say Jesus Christ (JeZeus) is not Yeshua of Nazareth, the Jewish Messiah who fulfilled the Spring Feasts of HaShem as a Sacrificial Lamb who rose from the dead and will fulfill the Fall Feasts of HaShem as the Lion of Judah to deliver Israel.

Hey Peter the Jewish hater whom his father, grandfather & the rest of his family have Jewish blood in their hands, from babies,old,young,men & women. You are right there is nothing wrong with freedom of speech, why dont you tell to you beloved killers brothers to accept freedom of speech

She's proven the old adage - 'tis better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool then to open your mouth and prove it. She's done more to prove she's an idiot than to hurt Jews. I wonder though, would she be as brazen or even as inquisitive if the topic was Muslims? Would Peter of Vienna consider those questions, and the resulting threats of violence by those who disapprove, to be "freedom of speech", too?

when protecting minorities, especially Jews, from being targeted, often as a result of such "freedom of speech" you cite is protected. Could be why so many European leaders have come out and said the muti-cultural experiment is a failure. Since those comments are meant to target Muslim immigrants, people of your ilk decry them as "racist" and "intolerant". When they target Jews, you consider the comments to be "freedom of speech" and Jews being "too sensitive". Yeah - no bias there, huh Peter?

Jesus was a rabbi like my great grandfather who led seder each year was.

never evolved.

He taught in the Temple and is called a High Priest after the Order of Melchisedec. You are right that He was not a rabbi with a little r. He was a Rabbi with a capital R. His uncle Joseph of Arimathea adopted Yeshua after his stepfather Joseph the Carpenter died. Joseph of Arimathea had the throne seat on the Sanhedrin so his adoption of Yeshua of Nazareth, his twin sister Miriam (Mary)'s first son, placed Yeshua in the succession of the throne of Judea.

Doesn't mean she's of Jewish background. A lot of Swedes, Norwegians, etc. have patrynomics (surnames taken from the father's name), Johanson/Jonasen, Svenson, etc...and centuries ago (much has changed in recent decades), Scandinavians were devout Christians in the Lutheran church and admired what Christians call "the Old Testament" (and what we Jews call TaNaKH), thus names like Abraham, Isaak, Jakob, Josef were also common at one time. So there are now a lot of Swedish family names, Abrahamsson, Jakobson, Josefson (the latter happens to be my last name). SInce I spell my last name with an "f", the way Swedes do, I've often been asked if I'm Swedish.

Obviously she wanted to know why so many Lubavitchers had such fuzzy beards.

She is a paradigmatic example of uneducated masses in Europe. Ignorance is fertile soil for antisemitism, even more so when fertilized by a vapid 'humanist' educational system and a biased media, let alone embedded in a god-free secular self-idolatrous nation. She hears an ugly uproar against Jews and doesn't understand what the fuss is about -- for she barely knows history. Truth is, there are probably many like her left in Europe, but they will dwindle as they run into and shrink before the mainstream, more confident voices of antisemitism, that no longer ask 'what IS the fuss about Jews' (or Israelis), they just know they are to be blamed and eliminated. Her' 'innocent' question reveals her guilty social environment.

Have you heard of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolf trial in Austria for criticizing Islam? Based on the EU Hate-Speech Laws there is no "free speech" in the EU. Here is the Law: “Council Framework Decision 2008/913/JHA of 28 November 2008 on combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia by means of criminal law.”

Oh come on guys! This was nothing more than simple ignorance on her part, nothing malicious. I'm embarrassed for her. I think #6 is correct. We, as Jews, have a great opportunity here at PR. We don't have to give her an expense-paid trip, but why not a visit by Israel's ambassador to Sweden to personally answer some questions? A little outreach goes a LONG way. Moreover, I believe #17 was right too. It's obvious she meant "fuss" & is displaying sincere curiosity. What is "the fuss" with us as a people? Will we be thin-skinned forever, taking offense to such trivial things as this? I can sort of understand her perspective. I was born a Christian. I was circumcised at birth. I have blond hair & blue eyes. Yet today I'm a Jew. I do get "you don't look Jewish" from time to time! I just take the opportunity to explain instead of condemn. It's a wonderful opportunity for me to happily talk about my love of Judaism and my people!

I don't see any racism in this woman's statement. She seems genuinely perplexed at Jew hatred. It is strange to focus our attention on this innocent woman, when the real hate mongering spews constantly from Sweden's government. And it's wrapped in all the vapid politically correct canards.

Jealousy. Very simple. Non Jews hate us because we are the first religion to believe in 1 G-D and Christians and mooselims copied us. Churches and mosques preached racism towards Jews to get rid of us and claim they are the true religion. Also they know we are smarter, more moral ,and definitely more successful in just about all countries we lived in. As I heard from an christian pundit on TV say that Jews need to be perfected, I say no,"Christians and mooselims need to become civilized and become more Jewish." Jews are the scapegoats of the whole world. If you still don't like Jews you can "Kish mein tuchus" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ever considered that they dont hate Jews for reasons to do with religion, but rather that they just find quite a lot of Jews really annoying?

are common names here and does not have anything to do with them being jewish or israeli, In fact anyone with a -sson name you can be fairly certain they're not jewish since there were no jews in Sweden back when names were commonly created from the fathers first name, almost all jews here have typical central european names, mostly german.

She didn't say anything offensive. She was just asking some questions about Jews. All she needs is for someone to send her some books on Jewish history.
