Jews leave Swedish city after sharp rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes

Sweden's reputation as a tolerant, liberal nation is being threatened by a steep rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes in the city of Malmo.

When she first arrived in Sweden after her rescue from a Nazi concentration camp, Judith Popinski was treated with great kindness.

She raised a family in the city of Malmo, and for the next six decades lived happily in her adopted homeland - until last year.

In 2009, a chapel serving the city's 700-strong Jewish community was set ablaze. Jewish cemeteries were repeatedly desecrated, worshippers were abused on their way home from prayer, and "Hitler" was mockingly chanted in the streets by masked men.

"I never thought I would see this hatred again in my lifetime, not in Sweden anyway," Mrs Popinski told The Sunday Telegraph.

"This new hatred comes from Muslim immigrants. The Jewish people are afraid now."

Malmo's Jews, however, do not just point the finger at bigoted Muslims and their fellow racists in the country's Neo-Nazi fringe. They also accuse Ilmar Reepalu, the Left-wing mayor who has been in power for 15 years, of failing to protect them.

Mr Reepalu, who is blamed for lax policing, is at the centre of a growing controversy for saying that what the Jews perceive as naked anti-Semitism is in fact just a sad, but understandable consequence of Israeli policy in the Middle East.

While his views are far from unusual on the European liberal-left, which is often accused of a pro-Palestinian bias, his Jewish critics say they encourage young Muslim hotheads to abuse and harass them.

All the usual suspect under one roof: muslim immigrants, neonazis, and pro-Palestinian lefties. No wonder things go out of hand.

Depressing to see the same cowardly behaviour yet again...

Neo-Nazis are small and controllable.

Muslims and ant-Israels leftists are not, at least in bleeding-heart Euroland.

True to bad the mexicans didn’t do it now look what their country has turned into.

When one sides with islam against the Jews, one is choosing an ally that will one day soon turn on you. When they no longer have the Jews to target, the muslims will turn on the next available target.

The islamic "culture" is so sick that when they have no one else available they blow each other up.

Mr Reepalu needs to wake up and smell the falafel. First it's the Jews, but next it'll be his daughter for dressing provocatively. And that has nothing to do with Isreali policy in the Middle East!

I’ve never seen an article that says “Christians leaving x due to anti-Christian(we don’t have a cool buzz word for anti-Christian hate) fervor...yet around the World, Christians are persecuted far more heavily than Jews are. There are precious few small, ignored, powerless, isolated, poor Jewish enclaves. There are literally thousands of Christian ones.

If you read only the leftist news, you’d think that Jews in Sweden are worse off than Christians in Indonesia...lol.

Funny, that.

Mark Steyn's 2002 columnn explaining why Muslim rape is tolerated in the West by the Left is apt here as well:

...multiculturalism means that the worst attributes of Muslim culture -- the subjugation of women -- combine with the worst attributes of Western culture -- licence and self-gratification. Tattoed, pierced Pakistani skinhead gangs swaggering down the streets of Northern England are as much a product of multiculturalism as the turban-wearing Sikh Mountie in the vice-regal escort at Rideau Hall. Yet even in the face of the crudest assaults on its most cherished causes -- women's rights, gay rights -- the political class turns squeamishly away...

...I believe Western culture -- rule of law, universal suffrage, etc. -- is preferable to Arab culture: that's why there are millions of Muslims in Scandinavia, and four Scandinavians in Syria. Follow the traffic. I support immigration, but with assimilation. Without it, like a Hindu widow, we're slowly climbing on the funeral pyre of our lost empires. You see it in European foreign policy already: they're scared of their mysterious, swelling, unstoppable Muslim populations.

Islam For All reported the other day that, at present demographic rates, in 20 years' time the majority of Holland's children (the population under 18) will be Muslim. It will be the first Islamic country in western Europe since the loss of Spain. Europe is the colony now...
