Associated Press ^ | Oct 30, 2014 1:53 PM EDT | Karl Ritter

Posted on 10/30/2014 11:25:29 AM PDT by Olog-hai

Sweden on Thursday became the biggest Western European country to recognize a Palestinian state, and Israel swiftly reacted by withdrawing its ambassador from Stockholm in protest.

Coming during increased tensions between Arabs and Jews over Israel’s plans to build 1,000 housing units in east Jerusalem, the move by Sweden’s new left-leaning government reflects growing international impatience with Israel’s nearly half-century control of the West Bank, east Jerusalem and its blockade of the Gaza Strip. …

There is no such people as Palestinians or a country named Palestine.

I wonder who the unlucky person is that will be named ambassador to the Palestinians?

I'm sure that they can find someone who enjoys, um, relationships with goats, who will be a great candidate...

Note to Sweden:

If it wasn't for the Romans renaming the place, we wouldn't have this problem.

Darn Italians...

How can a nation recognize something that does not exist?

Sweden is flooded with Muslims, especially in Malmo.

If they are initiating this then it means that Sweden is dying and Israelis should boycott IKEA.

Good for Israel. I understand that the immigrant muslim community in Sweden is so openly and violently anti-Semitic that there are only two Jews left in Sweden.

The Swedes are simply doing this to placate their future overlords. Already, Swedish citizens are forbidden under sharia law to criticize muslims.

Like I said on another thread, Israel should recognize the nearly autonomous Islamic regions popping up in parts of Sweden.

Sounds like the Swedish are OK with that... They surrendered much of Malmo a few years ago.

~Like I said on another thread, Israel should recognize the nearly autonomous Islamic regions popping up in parts of Sweden.~

Not only that. I think Israel should consider military aid to said enclaves.
It basically makes no sense for these poor Muslims who are suffering in such an ugly Nazi environment to be such defenseless.

Right now they are forced to hit back the vicious aborigines using mostly bare genitals, stones and Molotovs at best.

It is not fair! Someone should walk in and turn tables. How about to organize a channels to bring some vigilant Palis to Sweden? Complete with AKs, RPGs and suicide vests. I guess Israel won’t miss a few of them. Or would they?

How do you like my plan?

Why does Israel — or any other country, for that matter — need to have an ambassador in Sweden?

Has Sweden been unworthy of any diplomatic relations at all times?

Thank you for your early support. Once the dust settles I shall make you a Baroness and Minister of Culture, ABBA, you’ll fix that problem, yes?

I deserve your elevation!

My first task will be to revive the beautiful musical “Chess” - created by two of those guys from ABBA. I will also (against my husband’s wishes) ban all Ingmar Bergman movies because they are boring and pretentious. And a Swedish meatball in every pot.

The Minister of State for the Empire Of Slings And Arrows has offered a meow of support for your claims and coughed up a hairball in the general direction of Stockholm.
