Around 700 persons in Stockholm and 300 persons in Göteborg showed up today in order to manifest their support for Israel. The initiative in Stockholm came from Annika Henroth Rothstein and in Göteborg it was arranged by FiM, Fred i Mellanöstern (Peace in the Middle East) - not too shabby!

Any open show of support for Israel and Jews in general is always greatly appreciated. So thanks and G-d bless!

It seems to me that US Jews will never understand what is happening in the World today...They support that guy blindly.He is the biggest danger to all of usJew and Gentile alike Also Gentile Antisemites dont realise whats out either.

Israel and the jewish people, however, need more than just one isolated event. European jews should use their past experiencies and be more active for their own safety, or just get out.

center of anti-Jewish racism! Thank you, those who have demonstrated for the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel!!

This is nothing compared to the Pro-Palestinian rallies.

it seems you needed such news :) leaving other facts aside its nice to see europe accepts jews in its society without discrimination, althou in small scale its still a step ;)

It is every jew's duty to fight antisemitism in Europe(the cradle of antisemitism) by organising marches and by supporting the Wiesenthal Center in any way possible.I call on the Jewish community in England to organise a similar March ans stop tearing itself apart.

How odd of G-d to choose the Jews but how odder still of those who choose the Jewish G-d to hate the Jews!

We, the natives of Sweden, hate your guts...

The organizers name was Annika Hernroth-Rothstein

Hi! I am the organizer of this event and I am so happy that you are writing about it! I would like to add that my name is Rothstein, NOT rudenstein... ;)

The Geats or the Swedes? Wait... you're not Lappish, are you?

We were also several hundreds, most non-Jews, in the same manifestation in Gothenburg, Swedish second city.

You, an islamic immigrant are hating the native people of sweden?? The name "Ingrid" was a bad cover-up...

For organizing such a successful and important event.

Well done to the organisers and participants.

Annika, you did a great great job with this manifestation. When being so explicit and visible in the support for Israel, for those who hate our guts, it must be a nightmare:)

First of all, thank you Annika for this wonderful rally. I hope that you'll organize another one, soon. I was there together with 700-800 people showing our love and support for Israel. I'm not a Jew (as I would matter anyway) but just a passionate zionist and Israel lover. You see, Sweden is one of the anti-Israel centres in the world, only second after Norway. So you must imagine what this rally means for Swedish Jews and pro-Israel non-Jews. It's nothing short but a miracle, I would say, without exaggerating. This was one of my rare moments of life when I was in ecstasy. I could put out my Magen David out of my shirt on display without worrying much about how people would react. It was like, hm, like my first breath after being under water for a long time. Kind of refreshing. They were playing Israeli music (best music in the world) and the organizers had stands with brochures and tourist info about Israel, Tel Aviv, Yerushalaim etc. But the best part was singing HaTikhva. What a rush! Am Yisrael Chai!

In Sweden you find ONLY about 18000 swedish Jews, competing with a Arabic immigrant (so called) Palestinian of up to 400 000! Just to point out, those Arabs practicing acts of hate toward the swedish Jews! Visit Malmö, and you will think you are living in the middle east, not in Sweden!
