1. masters of hypocricy
EZEKIAL HAIM ,   LONDON   (12.09.14)
Here we are again being told about the Swedish masters of hypocrisy and self aggrandizement.
2. They accepted criticism unlike Israel
Dave ,   Sao Paulo   (12.09.14)
At least they said they will study and correct the issues pointed out. Israel on the other hand can't take criticism and just dismisses it and calls international community unfair. Just like Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, and other countries. I don't think there is any perfect country in the world, but few have the decency to accept criticism and try to improve their situation.
3. Sweden has the worst Apartheid regime and occupation of Sami

4. Israeli Envoy to Sweden
Gidon ,   CANADA   (12.09.14)
Finally an Israeli government official who isn't shy to encourage a foreign government to look at its own blemishes first!
5. Sweden is on its way to an islamic state..
Beary White ,   Norway   (12.09.14)
..with all the benefits given... -abuse of women -abuse of minorities -abuse of non-Islamic religions -honor-killings -increasing criminality -increasing numbers of murders ..the above will be balanced with sharia law..and their way of punishment; -lashing.. -cutting of limbs.. -hanging.. -beheadings.. Godbye Sweden, as a western civilized country...
6. Criticism and Learning from it
Mozza ,   London, England   (12.09.14)
Sweden carried out forced sterilization until the 1970's - after a brief hiatus we now see the Swedish government increasingly returning to forced imprisonment in psychiatric hospitals. Stieg Larsson wrote for a reason - the lilly white Sweden of hollywood fame has a not so pretty heart.
7. Loving this, or what?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.09.14)
Time someone handed the snarky Swedes a richly-deserved comeuppance. Only the truly uninformed do not realize that the only reason that Sweden was never invaded by the Nazis was because they didn't have to. Sweden was a willing partner to the Nazis. That's a score that still needs to be settled, but the Jewish people are very, very patient. This was a big step up in the effort to teach the Swedes a richly-deserved lesson. Doesn't matter, though, really, does it? Sweden will be gone by the end of the decade. They're just not producing the birth rates required to outperform the Arabs and Moslems that are taking over their country. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of smarmy hypocrites.
8. Re: Dave on sweden
FG   (12.09.14)
Why was their reaction against criticism of their indigenous Sami minority's despicable harsh treatment by the state previously either totally silenced and then dismissed haughtily and arrogantly then? How do you explain this moral shortcoming, heh?
9. #5 Beary, how is it in Norway?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.09.14)
How many of the points you make about Sweden apply to Norway today?
11. Cheap attempt by Israel
Bkrezki   (12.09.14)
I don't see Sweden building walls and bombing kids and women. I don't see Sweden building Swede-only settlements or thieving others lands.
12. Stockholm Syndrome is a most fitting description of Sweden
