Sweden to become first major European country to recognize state of Palestine
Haaretz ^ | 10-03-2014 | Johan Ahlander

Sweden's new center-left government will recognize the state of Palestine in a move that will make it the first major European country to take the step, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said on Friday.

U.S. State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki called Sweden's decision "premature," citing the need to first resolve final status issues.

The UN General Assembly approved the de facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine in 2012 but the European Union and most EU countries, have yet to give official recognition.

"The conflict between Israel can only be solved with a two-state solution, negotiated in accordance with international law," Swedish PM Stefan Lofven said during his inaugural address in parliament.

Recognizing things that don’t exist in the real world is a sign of severe mental illness

is it just me, or does it seems that since Obama took office, institution like governments, schools, the media have gone from pro Israel to pro Palestinian?

Because Sweden’s chock full of liberal cowards and that’s putting it nicely.

My brother married a nice Swedish girl and has lived in Stockholm for over 15 years. He’s always been shocked at what political nincompoops they are and he tells me most of the Swedish women don’t want Swedish men and would take an American in a heartbeat.

Anyone surprised? Sweden is the country that assumed the morally absurd position of neutralism while its neighbors suffered and fought a death struggle against the fascists. It traded with Germany until the gold the Germans pillaged ran out. Sweden long ago entered a post Christian neo pagan era of decadence and moral decline. Its repulsive behavior is consistent with its true character.

there has never been a “palestinian’ state
there is not a “palestinian” state (other than the one that occupies 70 percent of Mandatory Israel, called Jordan)
there will never be a “palestinian’ state (other than above)

anyone who claims they see a ‘palestinian state’ in the land of Israel is either a liar, probably a Nazi liar given the subject matter,
or else the’re mentally deranged.

see, for instance the sections on Hallicinations and Delusions...in this link:

Can Sweden check itself into an insane asylym somewhere, for treatment?

I think you’re confusing Sweden with Switzerland.

And no, their position wasn’t absurd. It kept them from getting entangled in others’ wars.

I visited Svenska long time ago and found it to be very modern, very clean, and very friendly people.

All of Scandinavia has devolved to a third world marxist sewer dominated by mooselimbs. The remaining whites are weak, sissified, sniveling cowards soon to be wiped out by the mohammedans. Those atheistic countries have turned their back on God Almighty and are paying the price.

Well, I can always pass it along to next of kin I suppose, so it won’t be a total loss...

As the saying goes, the only good muzzie is a...

As I think about it, there's no way to finish that sentence. Even six feet under, the evil a mooselimb perpetrated while alive can't even be quantified.

OK, time to compile the probably very short list of Swedish things I can live the rest of my life without.

Interesting psychological study should ensue.
Why would a civilized country do such a baffling non-sensical suicidal thing?

There must be a rational explanation...

The ‘neutral’ Swedes sold iron ore to the Germans, until the Nazis started losing, after Stalingrad.
So yeah, the Swedes are a very, uh .... practical people, not getting “entangled” in that little world war/death struggle between good and evil.
Noob.

Appropriate, since the muzzies who live in Sweden (and who will eventually outnumber the non-muzzies) certainly don’t “recognize” Sweden as a country separate from the coming global caliphate.

The Swedes instinctively recognize that their own days as a sovereign nation are numbered and they hate with insane jealousy any country (such as Israel) that is determined NOT to fall under the sway of muzzie dominance.

Good luck, Sweden, with your hateful jealousy, your moral impotence, your total lack of any instinct for self-preservation and (most of all) all your new muzzie friends. Hope things work out great for all of you. (Not)

Indeed, Sweden was a poor country until after 1940, and got rich trading with the Nazis. The only other European country to profit like that was Switzerland.

“They already walked this back.”

Thank God.

Maybe they were just pandering to their muslim immigrant voters - a growing force in elections.

The stupid PC Swedes think this will save them from the Muslim slime that are destroying their cities and country. Silly Swedes, you will be assimilated by the New Caliphate.
