Wiesenthal Center tells Jews not to travel to Sweden
The Jerusalem Post ^ | December 16, 2010 | BENJAMIN WEINTHAL AND GIL SHEFLER

Posted on 12/15/2010 7:55:05 PM PST by Stoat

The Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Los Angeles-based human rights organization, has taken the unusual step of issuing a travel advisory about security concerns in Sweden because of growing anti-Jewish discrimination.

During a meeting on Tuesday with Sweden’s Justice Minister Beatrice Ask in Stockholm, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, and Dr. Shimon Samuels, who oversees the center’s International Relations department, outlined the reasons for the travel advisory.

“We reluctantly are issuing this advisory because religious Jews and other members of the Jewish community there have been subject to anti-Semitic taunts and harassment. There have been dozens of incidents reported to the authorities but have not resulted in arrests or convictions for hate crimes”, said the two Wiesenthal Center representatives in a statement.

Cooper and Samuels added that “a contributing factor to this decision has been the outrageous remarks of Malmö mayor Ilmar Reepalu, who blames the Jewish community for failing to denounce Israel.

American Jews better wake up fast and become Conservatives, or they may one day suffer the same terrible things that are already starting to happen to their European cousins.

Jews sure, but this CHRISTIAN would not feel safe in ANY environment where Muslim scum are:

1) The majority.

2) Coddled.

3) In power.

Why not just say: Unless you're an idiot don't go to Malmo.

But unless you've been living in a cave for the last five years you should know that Malmo is no longer a part of Sweden, but part of the Caliphate.

“They are extremes that place themselves above other groups they think are less important,” said Reepalu.

Such as, and by way of example, Scandanavian leftists. Heck, leftists of any stripe. Ironically, these are the same people who will tell us that no culture is better or worse than another. “All cultures are created equal. But some cultures are more equal than others.” The culture of the left is definately the most equal of all.

Our FRiend manc can most likely see your perspective quite easily, as he has firsthand knowledge of how the muslim influx has completely changed the cultural landscape in many areas of Great Britain.

It seems that Scandinavia is suffering very similarly from the muslim hordes as is the UK.

Wherever a cancer is allowed to take hold, it metastisizes until it has completely corrupted the Host.

So very, very sad.  Such a loss.

My mother is a Swedish Jew and her parents spent the last 25 years of their lives in Malmo. I have family living in Malmo and the surrounding region, as well as many family friends. Most Jews in Malmo came after World War 2 from Eastern Europe. Many were fled communists either right after the war, or after suffering under Soviet or Polish-communist official antisemitism. Most of those who I have spoken with about politics support the Christian Democrats (largely because they are the party most supportive both of Israel and for their opposition to laws that banned kosher butchering), the Liberal Peoples' Party (libertarians), and the Moderate Party. I haven't met any, but I know that there are Jews in Sweden who support the Sweden Democrats. The former spokesman of the Sweden Democrats and one of the 20 members of Parliament is Kent Ekeroth, who is Jewish. His brother Ted lives in Lund, a small college town/suburb of Malmo, and is a prominent Zionist.

There are not enough Jews to make a difference in Swedish elections, outside of an occasional town council seat. Their fate is sealed, and the tragedy is the refusal of other Jews to notice.

May they get message. . .and not 'later'. Think, of behalf of Jews everywhere (and because of Muslim influence)Christians too, should avoid Sweden; and let the Swedes know, why the change of heart.

Am sick of those - including those here in our Country - who imagine themselves, 'enlightened' when their minds are simply closed to Islamic challenge/threat.

Hear, heed the warnings. . .remember, the Trojan Horse lives. As does evil, which always needs a good horse. . .

I know an English guy who moved to Malmo a few years back after meeting a Swedish woman and he said that Malmo has been overrun with muslims and that it is now got many no go areas.

Now what the hell is going on, first we have homosexuals passing their agenda , muslims taking parts of the countries.

They both conflict and yet they are too busy trying to destroy us and our way of life instead of saying hey those muslims want to kill us maybe we need to stop attacking Christians and fight muslims right now but alas it seems the enemy of my enemy is my friend

Given that left wing Jewish Americans have posed and continue to pose more of a threat to conservative American values and society than Muslims ever have and American Jews were involved in anti-American terrorism long before Muslims were I am often mystified why American conservatives are always so concerned about their fate.

At what point do conservatives stop being polite and start asking some very hard questions about the subversive political beliefs that are endemic within Jewish American society? After all conservatives never have any problem questioning the loyalty of US Muslims even though that group have actually done very little damage to American society.

Just for the record I support the state of Israel and loathe anti-Semitism.

You are confusing grievance politics with Jewish belief. The problem is that for historical reasons and now unthinking conformity, Jews in the US are liberal. But most of the behaviors you don't like are at odds with Judaism or Jewish practice. That doesn't even compare with Muslims who see it as their duty to bring Sharia worldwide.

As for Jews in Europe facing a Msulim threat, Freepers understand that Christians will face the same fate as Jews.

PS. Look to the Irish outside Ireland and you will see many of the same pathologies as with Jews.

I agree that many Muslims overseas may wish to create a sharia state but there is little evidence that American Muslims wish to do so and those that do have had precisely zero success so far.

Compare this with the historical position of Jews in American society where a disproportionately high number of American Jews have actively set out to undermine the constitution of the United States. I’m not just talking about having liberal viewpoints I’m talking about the deliberate subversion of the United States both through treasonous dealings with hostile foreign powers and through domestic terrorism (something that seems to have been conveniently airbrushed out of the record).

Even those who didn’t get involved in terrorism and treason went on to undermine society in ways which is not comparable with that of US Muslims or the Irish. Think about all the institutions most commonly blamed by conservatives for subverting the US; the media, Hollywood, the courts, Wall Street big banks, university campuses, well they ain’t exactly overstaffed with Mohammeds and Hassans and do seem to attract a disproportionately high number of another ethnic group who always seem to get a free pass among conservatives that Muslims don’t.

Wiesenthal Center tells Jews not to travel to Sweden

I worked for a professor research university in the field of biological/plant
science.
Over a few years I found he had pretty angry views about certain “minority groups”,
even though he was a life-long Democrat.

Imagine my suprise when he once mentione what a racist (esp. against
Jews) one of his Swedish colleagues was.

(I’m not generalizing about Swedes...this was just a very interesting occurrence.)
