‘A lot of Jews are scared’ in this Nordic community of 15,000, as lines blur between criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism
On a chilly fall day, passersby on a central street in Sweden’s third largest city, Malmö, were greeted with chants in Arabic urging the killing of Jews.
“Death to the Jews,’ and ‘More stabbings,’ the protesters screamed,†recalls Jehoshua Kaufman, head of communications for Malmö’s Jewish community. The protesters at the October pro-Palestinian rally were referring to the near-daily stabbings of Jews by Arab assailants over the past couple of months in Israel.
Swedish politicians, including two parliament members, were present at the protest. However, after Israel’s ambassador to Sweden, Isaac Bachman, condemned the event, they distanced themselves, claiming they had not understood the meaning of the Arabic slogans.
Kaufman questions how such an event had been permitted to take place, and why the politicians had not demanded a translation of the chants.
“The politicians could have left and said, ‘We don’t know what you are saying, but we won’t participate unless we know what you are saying,’†he says.

Even if there were no Muslims in the Scandinavian countries, Jews there should feel afraid. I don’t know why, but Scandinavians are very strong and vocal anti-semites and have been for many years.
This doesn’t mention the physical attacks, attempted vehicular homicide, and firebombings.
It’s worse than presented here. I moderate the Swedish Jewish Facebook page, and Swedish Jews don’t even want to join.
F*** Scandahoovians. They let muzzies overrun Minnesota, they let muzzies overrun Sweden. Then they blame it on the Jews.
Looks like only East European Slavs get it when it comes to muzzies. They are ready to bust muzzie flesh.

“If the Jews are smart they will flee to Japan. That seems to be about the only country on the planet that isn’t infested with these Muslim vermin.”
Islam is pretty much outlawed in Japan, as is the koran.
Vistation by muslims is strictly controlled.
I just researched my own post and it is based on incorrect information. Islam is not common in Japan, but the laws are not strong against it.
