The sentence is true. Al Aqsa is theirs and it's not a Jewish temple.
2. Palestinian Love in Sweden
Warren ,   Sydney Australia   (08.16.13)
It suits them but they are not wearing the scarf properly. They need to wear it much, much tighter around the neck.
3. These Swedes are UNBELIEVABLE
James McNamara ,   LA US   (08.16.13)
Why did they pose with a keffiyehs in the first place,would they nave posed with a Jewish prayer shawl...Definitely not.....These two were either dumb,or they just hate Israel,methinks they are both Dumb and they hate Israel.....Disgusting....

7. Iraqi tricks Sweden's King into calling Mohammad a liar
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NYC   (08.16.13)
So this Iraqi uses the Swedish King to call Mohammad a lair and disagreeing with the Khoran.
8. The scarves look Japanese to me. Royals cannot be expected
(08.16.13)
to know all languages and be all knowing.
9. Queen Sylvia is actually German
Yael ,   Planet Earth   (08.16.13)
C'mon people, sure you can suck something out of this fact, too. Please don't forget to mention this fact in future talkbacks to this article. It adds up greatly to the whole "they definitely hate Israel" angle that is preferred here.
10. 2 Warren...As in a noose, are you saying? Not that tight?
(08.16.13)
11. #8: Yes, but they do have advisors!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (08.16.13)
And their advisers are supposed to make damn sure that the Royal Family are not embarrassed! Take this withe the next YnetNews headline about Norway's funding of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights and the EU boycott of Israeli products, well, this is not just an "innocent" misunderstanding! The real fact is that Antisemitism is raging once again in Europe and the Palestinians are making full use of Europe's inbred hatred of Jews accompanied with Islamophobia, to fan the fires of hatred against Jews and Israel.
12. #3
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (08.16.13)
They have at least never been noted for their intelligence, no.
13. All the European royals ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.16.13)
.... are way too inbred. That tends to make you congenitally stupid. Did not Prince Harry wear a Nazi uniform to a costume party? Did not his father get recorded saying he wished he were a tampon so that he could be .... well, figure it out. The royals are useless appendages, and should be excised before they rupture.
14. The royal couple of Sweden are not famous
Vardina   (08.16.13)
for being extra smart. She was an airline stewardess clever enough to catch him as husband but they are both not very clever diplomats.
15. How did a stranger get so close to them
James McNamara ,   LA US   (08.16.13)
16. Such a genius NOT!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (08.16.13)
KEEP BUILDING !!!!
17. They want us to believe this dumb excuse
James McNamara ,   LA US   (08.16.13)
We see through this BS story that these two Jackasses are trying to feed us.....These Swedes never cease to amaze us with their hateful and disgusting actions against Israel.......Every time that they come up with some nastier and more hateful act against Israel,they just show themselves up as the sick nasty creeps that they are.......
18. Nr 3. I do believe you are right !
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (08.16.13)
19. Living in a country of retards
Reuven ,   Netanya   (08.16.13)
Did anyone read the article? Most of you here have an IQ of a toddler, what went wrong with this country to have created such a bunch of morons???
20. The Royals
RK ,   USA   (08.16.13)
What a useless bunch, whatever throne in Europe they occupy. How stupid can this particular couple be. Sweden needs to invest in teaching its citizens how to cook and how to free themselves of political correctness, rather than in this moronic family.
21. To number nine 9
Goldenberg ,   France   (08.16.13)
No, acttualy queen Silvia is Brazilian!
22. Much Ado About Nothing...again !
deavman ,   Acco, Israel   (08.16.13)
23. Euro worship a Royal Pain in the
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (08.16.13)
you know what. This is the 21st century, yet the Euros remain steeped in The Dark Ages and their fanatic need to kowtow to, worship throned beings.
24. Al-Aqsa, the Temple Mount is not theirs.
Steve Klein   (08.16.13)
Here: 1Kings 9:1 Now it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all that Solomon desired to do, that the LORD appeared to Solomon a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. The LORD said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your supplication, which you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built by putting My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
25. There are decent Swedish people who do care about Israel
James McNamara ,   LA US   (08.16.13)
These decent Swedish people need to fight these dumb anti-Israel acts,stop allowing hateful people to take over your country....Fight back....Jews and Israeli's are not your enemy,they never were your enemy and never will be your enemy.......
26. Walking Billboards...
Edwin ,   Canada   (08.16.13)
Maybe I should present this royal pair with my company's advertising and have them pose for a photo! What a great promotion idea. Maybe I could rent them as Royal sandwich boards, he! he! Not a chance, you say? Only if the message is anti-Israel propaganda.
27. The King's photo
zidan ,   Palestine   (08.16.13)
Brosdly speaking, the Swedish people are one of the many fervent people who stand for basic human principles, justice and freedom. This is shown through their huddling the tired and oppressed refugees from war-torn countries,such as Iraq, Syria and Palestine. The Royal couple, posed with the Palestinian Keffiyyah, should be a natural manifestation and reflection of the general public's desire to stand against oppression, aggression, and , above all, the Israeli occupation to Palestine.
28. not anti Israel
(08.16.13)
The Iraqi freeloader living at the expense of the Swedish taxpayer was not anti-Israel, he insulted Christianity and Islam. If the Temple Mount did not exist as the freeloader claims, then the story of Jesus of Nazareth is false, an insult to the people who feed him. Worse, if he denies Jesus, known to the Muslims as Isa the prophet, he is insulting The Prophet. Sweden should deport him back to Iraq for abusing his wecome, and the Iraqis will know how to treat a blasphemer.
29. And the Spanish PM *wittingly* wore such a qafiyeh in 2003
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (08.16.13)
Israel-supporting Spanish PM Aznar lost office in the wake of the Madrid bombings to a socialist. The latter, being more partial to the Palestinians, publicly appeared in a qafiyeh later that year. Perhaps the lesson from this more recent incident is, paraphrasing the old maxim, to beware of Arabs bearing gifts.
30. May be
Gady ,   Mexico City   (08.16.13)
A red, white and black Nazi swastica will go absolutely marvelous with that outfit.
