In defense of colleague who resigned after comparing Israel to Nazi Germany, Asa Romson suggests World Trade Center attacks were a mere mishap
Sweden’s deputy prime minister has come under fire for describing the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon as “accidents.”
Environment Minister and Green Party chair Asa Romson made the comments on Tuesday morning during a live televized interview about party colleague Mehmet Kaplan, who resigned as housing minister earlier this week over statements likening Israel to Nazi Germany.
“He has been chairman of Young Muslims in tough situations like the September 11 accidents and similar,” Romson told public broadcaster SVT in praise of Kaplan, according to Swedish news site The Local.
Kaplan, a member of the junior coalition partner Green Party, had himself been in hot water since the weekend when media published old video footage of him making controversial remarks about Israel’s politics toward Palestinians.
“We must not let extremism cloud our judgement or fall to the low point where immigrants or Muslims are collectively blamed as a result of the acts of extremists,” she told news site The Local.
Falling short of an apology, Romson clarified that despite her reference to the “accidents,” she was aware that the September 11, 2001 attacks were acts of terror.
“Let there be no doubt: the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001 were one of the most vile acts of terror and disastrous violations of the open, free and democratic society in modern history,” she said. “The tragedy for the world and the families of the almost 3,000 human beings who perished as a result of the attack cannot be overstated.”
This is not the first time Romson has caused controversy over comments made during a live television interview. In May 2015, she was forced to apologize for comparing the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean to the horrors of the Holocaust.
Deploring the desperate situation of migrants trying to make the perilous and often deadly crossing to Europe, Romson said of European migration laws, “we are … turning the Mediterranean into the new Auschwitz.”
Critics, including Jewish leaders, called the comparison to the Nazi death camp misguided and offensive. About 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were killed in Auschwitz during World War II.
Romson apologized in a tweet, saying “It was wrong to make the comparison with Auschwitz.
People like this are too stupid to survive.
So the Muslims are running all over the Swedes in their own country, and this guy drops to his knees, kisses their backsides to keep his head? It’s what it looks like to me.
Sweden should prove its love and take in ALL the vermin invading Europe - I mean, looking for jobs. It’s the only reasonable thing to do.
She’s an agent for the muslims.
Has Sweden legalized methamphetamine? Asa Romson’s hallucinations suggest someone suffering from meth induced schizophrenia.
..... Before you are so quick to judge ..... The Swedish Deputy now knows what those new "Colonists" are now capable of .... And at this point he is now attempting protecting what little is left of stability in his country.
.... The European countries are beginning to realize .... much too late ....
..... That those poor refugees that they let flood the nation .... fleeing war torn countries ..... Are not quite what they seem ..... They are in actuality Islamic Caliphaic Colonists populating the earth faster than ever before in the history of our planet. They are practicing Hijrah and migrating for the Cause of Allah.
..... They are now upon our shores and settling here in America for the glory of Allah ....
..... Question: Should America welcome them with open arms?
In defense of colleague who resigned after comparing Israel to Nazi Germany... Environment Minister and Green Party chair Asa Romson made the comments on Tuesday morning during a live televized interview about party colleague Mehmet Kaplan, who resigned as housing minister earlier this week over statements likening Israel to Nazi Germany.Rapes by muzzies? Those are just "dates".
Sorry, Asa Romson, but you’re a mental.
At least she didn’t refer to the attacks as “7/11”. /s
An ethnomasochist..
Nothingburger with cheese...
What I would like to do to this guy I can’t.
Unlike muslims, I follow that law.
I think Trump had another thought in mind when he called it 7-11. Probably because he thinks it was known that 9-11 was coming two months before the actual attacks occurred.
Hey,we've gotta admit that the guy's right.A portion of this jet aircraft engine accidentally fell onto Murray Street in Lower Manhattan on 9/11.
The tart doesn’t deserve the attention you’re providing.
That pretty much explains it. All Greens are mental cases.
The Zeitgeist of Greeen Europe is total denial of any “Muslim” problem in their societies AT ALL.
Then comes, 9/11.
Of course this is “the accident”.
What is “accidental” about it is the fact that it can neither be ignored nor denied. Hence the ‘Accident’ part of it all.
O, but do they ever try to deny. Deny, deny, deny. Crime skyrocketing? Deny! Almost every aspect of social life impacted? Deny! And so on.
Was the interview in English?
