Jews reluctantly abandon Swedish city amid growing anti-Semitism

MALMO, SWEDEN — At some point, the shouts of “Heil Hitler” that often greeted Marcus Eilenberg as he walked to the 107-year-old Moorish-style synagogue in this port city forced the 32-year-old attorney to make a difficult, life-changing decision: Fearing for his family’s safety after repeated anti-Semitic incidents, Eilenberg reluctantly uprooted himself and his wife and two children, and moved to Israel in May.

Sweden, a country long regarded as a model of tolerance, has, ironically, been a refuge for Eilenberg’s family. His paternal grandparents found a home in Malmo in 1945 after surviving the Holocaust. His wife’s parents came to Malmo from Poland in 1968 after the communist government there launched an anti-Semitic purge.

So as more and more Jews leave Europe, they take their brains, skills and financial resources with them, leaving Europe with the “new” minority, Muslims. Does not sound like not such a good deal for Europe, eh?

Well, you know what? It serves them right!

That’s what the Euros seem to think, as well...”it serves us right”.

Really sad. WW2 made Europeans scared to deal with issues of immigration since they fear being branded Nazies. So they allowed mass immigration from Muslim nations and those people did not want to assimilate. To walk into an immigrant neighborhood in France is like being in North Africa, and those people have the same attitudes as the people in their homselands towards Jews and towards the European society.

A majority (78%) of Jews in America voted for a future like Malmo’s in Nov 2008.

They do not elect them to run their country like somewhere else. A place where the vast majority of Jews voted for the Islamic and still fawn and drool over him.

Yep. Malmo is coming to obamaland. Just a matter of time. Maybe three quarters of Jews will vote smarter next time.

I think Sweden has a better future than the USA. Their corporate tax rates are lower and individual taxes will be comparable to the US in 2011. Their economy is in much better shape. Savage had someone on his show and he said one day the Europeans may just start evicting Muslims by force.

The birth rate for Swedes is supposedly still pretty good. Until Americans turn of the Hollywood - liberal elite crap on TV that controls them - we are doomed. The public cares more about LeBron and Lindsay Lohan.

Fox News - partially owned by the Saudis who pay for EVERY mosque built in the West.

Sweden is looking a lot more attractive than America as is Canada.

Bofors makes some very nice ordinance. The AK-5 assualt rifle is very capable. Some day in the not too distant future - Europe may wake up.

I am more optmistic about Europe than America. Too many idots in America watch TV and are mindless morons watching NCAA college ball, LeBron and other crap.

“Politicians say these kids are poor and oppressed, and we have made them hate. They are, in effect, saying the behavior of these kids is in some way our fault,” he said.

It's just amazing how many supposedly half intelligent Westerners fall for the PC nonsense that the Moslem's anti-Semitism and Jew hatred is due to some present day state of poverty or oppression. You don't have to know much Islamic history to know it started with Mohammed and the Jews of Medina who refused to recognized him as a prophet. And those Jews were either driven out of their homes or slaughtered by Mohammed and his original band of gangsters.

According to Gudmundson, some immigrants from Muslim countries come to Sweden as hardened anti-Semites.

One guy who gets it.

My mother’s parents lived in and are now buried in Malmo so I actually have met all the adult Jews in this piece. It is worse than author suggests. Vandalism does not just include graffiti. Jewish stores have been trashed to drive Jews out. Even the dead have no piece. The chapel at the Jewish cemetery was burned twice. It’s very sad and its abetted by the local Swedes and the socialist media.

I agree completely --if Jews wish to survive, then why do they vote for people who openly promise to betray them?

The oft-cited lesson of the Holocaust is, "If a man tell you he wishes to kill you, then BELIEVE HIM". And yet, a large majority of Jews spring to, "get this man to like them".

If you ask about this puzzling state of affairs, then you are branded an "anti-semite", and that is that.

Yup. It makes no sense. They still love him too. I know a few conservative Jews who always loathed him but sadly they are the minority. I have seen union Catholics and other idiots who continue to drink the kool-aide.
