Sweden’s problem is that they are overrun with Muslim immigrants, which is why it’s easy to find a large amount of Anti-Israel sentiment, they have to appease this large section of their population in order to avoid pissing them off, it helps to avoid the normal Muslim reactions,you know things like violent protests and riots, acts of arson, the threats of attacks and death against native citizens, etc. I would say they need to wake up before it’s too late, but I fear that advice may already come too late for them.

“Sweden’s problem is that they are overrun with Muslim immigrants, which is why it’s easy to find a large amount of Anti-Israel sentiment..”

- I don't blame you for jumping to this conclusion. We Swedes have definitely welcomed far too many Muslims and many of us still refuse to acknowledge there is a threat.

However, relations between Sweden and Israel were tense long before we began to import Muslims. One major reason is the 1948 assassination of Bernadotte, Swedish diplomat and grandson of King Oscar II of Sweden.

It goes without saying that an attack on our royal family is bound to “stir up some emotions”, even though we are such a PC, boring and Lutheran nation.

Apart from this, Bernadotte was and still is famous for having rescued thousands of Jews from Nazi German concentration camps during WWII.

Yet, relations between Israel and Sweden have improved the last 15 years or so and there are many Swedes who, like me, claim that Israel by all means has the right to defend itself.
