Jews reluctantly abandon Swedish city amid growing anti-Semitism
Haaretz ^ | July 12,2010

MALMO, SWEDEN — At some point, the shouts of “Heil Hitler” that often greeted Marcus Eilenberg as he walked to the 107-year-old Moorish-style synagogue in this port city forced the 32-year-old attorney to make a difficult, life-changing decision: Fearing for his family’s safety after repeated anti-Semitic incidents, Eilenberg reluctantly uprooted himself and his wife and two children, and moved to Israel in May.

Sweden, a country long regarded as a model of tolerance, has, ironically, been a refuge for Eilenberg’s family. His paternal grandparents found a home in Malmo in 1945 after surviving the Holocaust. His wife’s parents came to Malmo from Poland in 1968 after the communist government there launched an anti-Semitic purge

But as in many other cities across Europe, a rapidly growing Muslim population living in segregated conditions that seem to breed alienation has mixed toxically with the anger directed at Israeli policies and actions by those Muslims — and by many non-Muslims — to all but transform the lives of local Jews. Like many of their counterparts in other European cities, the Jews of Malmo report being subjected increasingly to threats, intimidation and actual violence as stand-ins for Israel.

excerpt-

Malmo, Sweden’s third-largest city, with a population of roughly 293,900 but only 760 Jews, reached a turning point of sorts in January 2009, during Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. A small, mostly Jewish group held a demonstration that was billed as a peace rally but seen as a sign of support for Israel. This peaceful demonstration was cut short when the demonstrators were attacked by a much larger screaming mob of Muslims and Swedish leftists who threw bottles and firecrackers at them as police seemed unable to stop the mounting mayhem.

So the Jewish Left isn't safe in Sweden, either, eh? Jews across the world need to wake up. Capitulation will not work anymore.

About 20% of the city is SO completely out of control by the city government...that the municipal police, fire, NOR ambulances will venture in.

===================

Chicago? Detroit? Newark? Washington D.C.? Are we certain that this Malmo place isn't run by the Dems?

IT is run by the far left — which (today) is much the same.

The porn industry was news back in the 60’s. It largely came about because there were no laws preventing it, because none had ever been needed before. That has now been corrected. Swedish “blue” movies are a thing of the past - or at least they’re no worse than anything produced anywhere else in the western world anyway.

My understanding is that the claim Hitler was 1/4 Jewish is incapable of being substantiated. Ms Schitzelgruber gave birth to Hitler’s dad Alois while unmarried, but she never revealed who the father of her illegitimate child was, and of course there was no DNA or paternity tests available in those days.

>>Anti-Semitism in Europe has historically been associated with the far right

>>>>Uh...The European “far right” are still leftists in America. We call them National Socialists (Nazi for short)

Thank you!

For more on that, see the 3rd quote on my FR home page, the two-paragraph one by Hayek from The Road to Serfdom.

For much more, read Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg.

Both books should be high on a FReeper required reading list. We should put together such a thing.

Agreed. I especially loved the position of the ignition switch and the way it locked the transmission when the motor was off. But they were expensive to work on. At least that's what I gathered when I used to sell their competitor over at Volvo. I also sold Audi, Ferrari, Jaguar, Subaru, Porsche, and VW. All those brands under one dealership brand.

Maybe, but they started the ball rolling. They struck the first sparks of the sexual revolution and started the world on this slide into the pit of Hell. The next thing to come around were the sex change surgeries. Those were news in the 1960s, too. Later everybody else jumped on that band wagon, as well.

Sweden is a morally bankrupt society anyway. Remember the Swedish porn industry not to mention it's ground breaking surgical techniques that transform men into women and vice versa? That was news back in the 1960s. Then there are the legal drugs... everything from Marijuana to Heroin.

Careful! People in American glass houses should not throw stones! The porn industry in California alone is FAR bigger than anything Sweden has ever done, sexual perversion has HUGE power today (see "Gay Mafia") in the USA, and proportionately, FAR more Americans die from drug overdoses or the trade...than has ever happened in morally bankrupt Sweden.

Point is, the USA is every bit as morally corrupt and bankrupt as Sweden, or anywhere else in secular Europe...we're just more religious at the same time.

As an example the American abortion rate...over 1 in 4 pregnancies is aborted in the USA....is many times higher than anywhere in non-religious Western Europe.

They STILL started it. Compare early 1960s America (not just San Francisco or Greenwich Village in NY) to the same in Sweden. When we were still innocent the "old world" was up to their collectivist eyeballs in filth and moral decay. That goes back to the Italian Renaissance and before. Even today (as has been the case always) you can still buy a drink if you can see the bartender. In Sweden that goes for a joint, too.

The Socialists/Communists who have run Western European governments in the Post-WWII era have sought to negate the influence of Christianity. They do this by bringing in populations that are completely dependent on the government for their well-being, and are hostile to Judeo-Christian traditions. Cultural Marxism says one must destroy the foundations of Western Civilization — the church, ethnic ties, the family — for Marxism to ultimately triumph. Their aim is to atomize society in order to create a new humanity. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” — Mohammed

And the Swedish leftists were helping the muzzies throw bottles. Europe is dying, and it’s not pretty.

When the Swedish leftists and the muzzies turn on each other I wonder who’s going to win that one.

The muzzies will turn first, and by the time the leftists recover from their astonishment, they’ll already have either been converted to Islam or died.
