Israel's Embassy in Stockholm will be relocated [Israeli presence threat to residents]

The Swedish landlord of Israel's Embassy in Stockholm has asked that the embassy be moved to a different location, Israel's Ambassador to Sweden, Zvi Mazel, told Israel Radio Monday morning.

The landlord told the diplomatic staff that the Israeli presence in the building poses a threat to the other residents of the building, according to the ambassador.

Israel's Embassy in Stockholm has been in the same building over 50 years.

Mazel said that the demand to relocate the embassy is part of "the general atmosphere of hostility towards Israel all around Europe - Sweden included."

Mazel caused a diplomatic stir when on Friday he unplugged three spotlights illuminating a display at the Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm entitled "Snow White and the Madness of Truth."

The display featured a small ship carrying a picture of Islamic Jihad bomber Hanadi Jaradat sailing in a rectangular pool filled with blood-colored water. Jaradat murdered 21 Israelis in a suicide bombing attack on Haifa's Maxim restaurant in October. Mazel also pushed one of the spotlights into the pool.

The display was part of an exhibition being held in connection with an international conference on preventing genocide set for later this month in Stockholm.

Unbelievable! I'd pull the flag and say, "C-ya!" Let them sink in their leaky cultural boat, along with the rest of the EU, into the malaise of historical irrelevance and obscurity.

How could the Swedes be so stupid as to let 5 million Islamics into Sweden?

The number is far smaller than that, but the idiot socialist have still let in enough to guarantee their country's ruin.

I called Gevalia and cancelled my coffee deliveries. The question now is what do I do with all the coffee that I already have? Should I drink it or dump it in the Detroit River? (on the Canadian side of course)

[RaceBannon]

God Forbid they actually choose to protect it instead...

[mseltzer]

I can't wait for the announcement that after the Israelis vacate the building, it will promptly be made available for the peaceful uses of the Palestinian Authority.

I recall the whole embassy as well as end diplomatic relations with Sweden. They've gone beyond the point of no return, I'm afraid.

"...The question now is what do I do with all the coffee that I already have?"

Hell, box it up and ship it back! Tell them it has a "smell" to it. Kind of like the smell Saddam had when they drug him out of that hole. No, not the stench of unwashed bodies. Intangible; more metaphorical....

The smell of cowardice and cravenness.

Tel them you want your money back. Their coffee is unusable!

An appropriate response might start with banning all travel to the US by any Swedish citizen. They've obviously decided they are on the side of the terrorists, not their targets. So let 'em visit Syria.

[sauropod]

Yep.

[Letitring]

Their Country has made a terrible, terrible mistake. Things will not go so well for Sweden now. Sad and breaks my heart for Israel.

Volvo is owned by Ford. Boycott Ford!

Also, Saab is owned by GM. Boycott GM!

Sorry! I was completely off with that number. It's about 350,000. That's compared to 20,000 Jews and a total population of 8.9 million.
