Swedish public radio apologized on Tuesday after a presenter questioned the Israeli ambassador about the responsibility of Jews for anti-Semitism, in the wake of the shooting of a Jewish man in neighboring Denmark, AFP reported.
Relations between Israel and Sweden are already strained over the Swedish parliament's decision last year to formally recognize the state of “Palestine”.
On Tuesday, a journalist for Sveriges Radio (SR) asked Israeli ambassador Isaac Bachman on air, "Are Jews themselves responsible for the progression of anti-Semitism?"
The ambassador appeared shocked by the suggestion, and replied, "I purely and simply reject the question."
When the journalist asked "Why?", Bachman replied, "There was no reason to ask this question."
The station removed the program from its online archive and issued a full apology, noted AFP.
"We offer our fullest apologies for this question. It was misleading and put blame on individuals and on a vilified group," SR's senior management said in a statement on its website.
"The Jewish community has suffered a horrible act of terror and has all our sympathy," the statement stressed.
The announcement of Sweden's recognition of "Palestine" in late October saw withering verbal jabs about IKEA furniture between Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman and Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom, as well as Swedish financial institutions boycotting Israeli companies. Israel also temporarily withdrew its ambassador from Stockholm.

G_d is calling the how to Israel.
Should we start a boycott of Swedish products?
That should get their attention.
Only an anti-Semite would say this.
Perhaps I misjudged the Swedes. Perhaps they secretly love rape and beheadings.
Any nation that officially recognizes a nonexistent country is delusional at best. When that nonexistent country just happens to be on Israel’s space, and only Israel’s space, and no other nonexistent countries are similarly recognized, the delusion is clarified to be nothing more or less then good old fashioned Naziism. (One is forced to recall that “neutral” Sweden spent most of WW2 supplying the Third Reich and that the good Raul Wallenberg was largely ostracized by his family.) Sweden’s loss.
anti-semitism is never the muslims fault for western leftists!
Its this kind of leftist trash which is ruining Sweden.
So are the swede feminiats responsible for the islamic rapes in Sweden?.. Then again that might be true since they never criticize them.
Frankly, the more they hate jews, the less the Swedes seem to figure they are being eaten from the insides by Islam while Israel works on.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Things that those nasty Jooos! are responsible for in Switzerland:
1. All those holes in the cheese.
2. The fact that yodelling is not an international sensation.
3. The fact that Switzerland isn’t invited to any wars.
4. Coining the phrase “neutral scum” on Futurama (they’re always writing for funny shows. The write must have been a Jooo!)
5. Embarassing Switzerland by having shooting incidents all the time.
6. Next they’ll be leaving, and what will we do without them?
7. Let them leave. Good riddance. They’ll come crawling back.
8. We will spurn their entreaties. Once they leave, they will be gone.
9. Then we will hate them for never coming back.
10. Look what they did to Spain when they left.
I’m already boycotting the EU. I’ll not buy anything Swiss twice.
