1. Israel wins when it stands up for itseslf
Mordechai   (10.05.14)
Well look at that. Israel stands up for herself and Sweden backs down. I guess international relations is a two way street and Sweden under a Prime Minister generally considered to be completely allied with the Arabs backs down. If Israel has self respect it will have world respect.
2. Malmo
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (10.05.14)
Speaking of Sweden, the once thriving Jewish community in Malmo Sweden has almost disappeared and been replaced with a growing Muslim, anti-Jewish community. Let Sweden look after Swedes.
3. so, whens Sweden's beheadings to begin?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!   (10.05.14)
Sweden sux. They deserve the Muslim infestation that eats everything in sight.
4. palestine is alive & well
Marvin Strauss ,   Berlin & Germany   (10.05.14)
at Malmoe. read police records. scal!
5. Swedish upside down thinking
Anthony David Marks ,   Israel   (10.05.14)
Read about Muslims in Malmo, Sweden and the surrounding areas and judge for yourself whether Sweden is prepared to accept 100,000 Palestinians which will invariably be demanded of Sweden now that its Prime Minister has decided to back the Palestinian cause for statehood. With all due respect, perhaps the honorable Prime Minister should get a brain scan as he is more motivated by showing how Sweden can make its own decisions and does not need to be influenced by the US - the same US which saved Sweden from the Nazis in World War ll. Poor Sweden. Does anyone really believe that Swedish neutrality would have been respected if Hitler had have been successful? See hate-mongering and crime articles on Malmo. http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malm%C3%B6en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malm%C3%B
6. Palestinians and Jews only Ready for Quiet
Zechariah   (10.05.14)
The Palestinians and Jews are only ready for Quiet as the situation stands at present . .Alot of of The Holy Land with Modern Technology can support more Jewish and Arab People's and Internationals so in effect a partly democratic state with some human rights can exist .The Idf controls External and Internal Security there is bullying and abuses but except in War its Moderate.In War war crimes in Terms of civilian Deaths have Occured Alot though the Six Day War and Tom Kippur War had few civilian deaths .There is room for substantial Arab autonomy still and a seat in the UN but the Palestinian refuse an Interim State and the Majority of Jews fear a State because of the Gaza Withdrawal Failure with Tunnels and Rockets acquired .WMD war has to be Prepared for and most Jews and Arbs ought Probaly leave over the next century or a technology Searched for Deep Shelters Hover craft Space Planes and super submarines plus lots of Tunell and Underground cities .Worst case Preperation.
7. SWEDEN
Amnon ,   yehupetz-Uzbekystan   (10.06.14)
As of 7 years ago Sweden has broken the record on viols and the viols are 100% committed by Muslims.
8. Good save by Sweden..
Dave ,   Montreal, Canada   (10.06.14)
Israel would have been justified in expelling the Swedish embassy and severing relations.
9. A very important clarification
William ,   Israel   (10.06.14)
Despite the initial and clarified position of Sweden, it's important to note that the majority of States that voted in favor of a State of Palestine in the non-binding UNGA vote in 2012 clarified their position in exactly the same manner - and many directly to the PA itself. While pro-Pally activists and anti-Israel trolls cite the support in UNGA in general as a sign of anti-Israel sentiments, in reality, the States affirmed that they would take NO unilateral action against Israel (or for the "Palestinians") and only negotiations would lead to a final peace and sovereign State of Palestine. Pallys and their supports ignore that part but its very real and undermines their perceived blanket support for unilateralism. Stay strong Israel.
