1. The Swedish Government is Just Plain......
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (01.14.16)
stupid. But, like the rest of Western Europe, they are so afraid of the Arab/Moslems that they simply cannot come out and say that the problem is with them and their religion. God-forbid, they should tell the truth. They would rather stir up latent anti-Semitism and, once again, blame the Jews.
2. pm of sweden should think again-do not shop at ikea
geroge   (01.14.16)
the hippocrites in stockholm send their experts to israel to learn how to fight terror in the meantime, wallstrom attacks israel for using too much force. well, stockholm will learn soon enough when their crime and rape rate soars with their new immigrants. Israelis and jews worldwide-do not shop at iIKEA. Lieberman towers abouve bibi in calling a spade a spade while bibi doublechecks and has his comments checked by 10 advisors before rebutting wallstrom.
3. In the Holy Sweden chief of police in Göteborg
ab   (01.13.16)
was caught running prostitution ring of underage girls,forced into it by blackmail from him .He was simultaneously Chairman of Comission to fight Sexual Harassment at work place. It was years ago,but Swedes haven't changed,the present Chief of Police have stated "He was unaware of sexual harassment of girls during a festival in Stockholm by groups of arabs,he was kept in the dark "' He is allowed to continue,although Chief of police which is so impotent his subordnates keep him in dark is less than useless. So don't expect anything from rebuking this or that among this obtuse people letting meekly their own daughters being harassed by arabs lest they would seem "racist"
4. Wallstrom looks like Winston Churchill
Shep ,   Memphis   (01.14.16)
Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom thinks she's Winston Churchill because she looks like him. :)
5. Kick Him Out
Jake ,   haifa   (01.14.16)
Israel does not need terror supporting, suicidal jew haters. Kick them out. Let them live with their muslim refugee soon to be masters.
6. Yes, the photo of her, the swedish FM...
Beary White ,   Norway   (01.14.16)
...seems like she has been abused, and she seems to be on the brink of entering hysteria... Of coarse I could be wrong, but it seems she clearly has no control of her lips..before breakdown.. It's just a calculated guess.. :-)
7. I remember Sweden trying to prevent
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.14.16)
the establishment of Israel in 48...oh well.
8. What do you want from the Swedish government ?
Moshe ,   Israel   (01.14.16)
They authorities there instruct their policemen and soldiers to behave in juridical manner (not like in Israel) when threatened by a murderer. If they see an assassin trying to kill a civilian or one of them, they are taught, it is their duty to act as follows : 1. To tell the criminal that the law forbids murdering. 2. If it does not stop the assailant, to warn him about the long term of imprisonment he is liable to serve. 3. And if this fails too, to notify him that when he will be interrogated, he has the right to remain silent. The procedure does not elaborate further, perhaps because there is no need for it.
9. too bad we failed
challe ,   al quds   (01.14.16)
everyone would be better off without it
10. Netanyahu govt, other right-wingers: keep it up, burn more
Rafi ,   US   (01.14.16)
bridges... Sweden, US, Brazil, Singapore, UK, Ireland... where does it end? I don't excuse Sweden's behavior - but your blatant settlement policy is despised around the world by friend & foe alike. It facilitates efforts of Israel's detractors. (BDS another case in point) This has little to do with anti-Semitism. Rather you are joyfully burning away decades of good relations built for Israel around the globe by Labor govts over the years. Essentially you are slowly but surely isolating Israel (and from much of the Diaspora as well). If anti-Semitism was to blame - how do you explain positive relations with Israel in previous years?
11. Finally ,...
split ,...   (01.14.16)
... someone got the balls to say it loud what everyone knows about Israel ,...
12. #10 Too many rubbish
Moshe ,   Israel   (01.14.16)
The exacerbation of relations with various countries stems from the fact that they, like you, don't understand the reality here or prefer their interests than integrity. The Arab enmity toward the Jews in Israel has begun long before the settlement policy started (which until 1977 fostered by the Labor government), end even before Israel's establishment, and will not end with settlements dismantling. And the local Labor party, which you so laud, has never opposed it. The aggravation of relations with several entities is taking place with mostly, if not entirely, with left-wing bodies. It began with the rise to power of the socialist party in Sweden, with election of a socialist (and may be Muslim) president in the US, and the animosity to Israel is rampant among the British Labor members.
13. qualification for position of foreign minister
C   (01.14.16)
in sweden, a high school diploma is sufficient for the position of foreign minister.
14. makes no difference
lebanese crypto jew   (01.14.16)
it makes no difference if the ambassador is called and delivered a message. the ambassador's boss is just an anti semite
15. would they accept us if we withdrew from west bank
sam   (01.14.16)
hi rafi, just a question for you Sir. if israel withdrew all settlements from west bank, would the palestinians accept its existence as a jewish state within the 1967 borders ( green line ? just asking ?
16. #11
Benji ,   US   (01.14.16)
But you know squat about Israel and sit on your balls instead of use your brain. Swedish FM prefers to yap at Israel instead of solve her own problems. Swedish posters on Ynet note total dissatisfaction with her leadership as they wait to boot her in 2018. Now everyone knows Wallstrom and Sweden have a big problem.
