Amid rapidly-deteriorating relations between the two countries, Sweden's prime minister has come under fire for declaring that the recent spate of stabbing attacks in Israel are not terrorist attacks.

Speaking to the Swedish TT news agency, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said of the Palestinian attacks, which have claimed the lives of 22 people and left hundreds more wounded in just over two months: "No, it is not classified as [terrorism]."

"There is an international classification regarding what constitutes or does not constitute [terror]. As far as I know, the [stabbing attacks in Israel] are not defined as terror." ...

Yet, or worse.

Wait till it happens...

Olaf Palme, Swedish prime minister, was murdered on a Stockholm street a few years ago by a muslim.

Would you say the same of GW Bush?
After all, it was his State Dept that
said blowing up Israelis is different
from blowing up Americans.

State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher explains why blowing up Israelis
different than blowing up Americans

DAILY PRESS BRIEFING
Richard Boucher, Spokesman
Washington, DC

...

QUESTION: To what extent does this campaign — as you constantly review your
Middle East policy, what — how much influence does this campaign against
terrorism have in that? What’s the input? How does it weigh in here? See
what I mean?

MR. BOUCHER: No, I don’t.

QUESTION: It’s obviously a factor —

MR. BOUCHER: We have talked about this on and off over the last few days. We
recognize that there is an influence. Some have said it affects the
atmosphere, the Palestinian/Israeli issues affect the atmosphere of
cooperation. But, essentially, there are, on some planes, two different
things. One is that there are violent people trying to destroy societies,
ours, many others in the world. The world recognizes that and we are going
to stop those people.

On the other hand, there are issues and violence and political issues that
need to be resolved in the Middle East, Israelis and
Palestinians. But we all recognize that the path to solve those is through
negotiation and that we have devoted enormous efforts to getting back to
that path of negotiation.

And we have called on the parties to do everything they can, particularly in
the present circumstance, to make that possible.

I guess that’s about as close as I can come to the kind of sophisticated
analysis I’m sure you will want to do on your own. But they are clearly
issues that are different, not only in geography but also, to some extent,
in their nature.

PM Lofven, do you call them accidents? Lofven must be Swedish for: ‘Moron like Obama’.

And the raping of so many Swedish women and children that is done by the mohammedan invaders is what? An act of love?

Wow.

[Nachum]

Would you say the same of GW Bush?

In part yes. However, his policies regarding the defense of Israel were much better than than Obama. I was in Israel briefly just before an Israeli military action in Gaza and GW Bush gave the Israelis time to do what they needed to without attacking them for it. Things are much worse now. Most Israelis know it too.

There is only one person more s-t-u-p-i-d in our government than the PM and that’s our FM. Unfortunately the major opposition parties are not much better.
