The Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Los Angeles-based human rights organization, has taken the unusual step of issuing a travel advisory about security concerns in Sweden because of growing anti-Jewish discrimination.
During a meeting on Tuesday with Swedens Justice Minister Beatrice Ask in Stockholm, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, and Dr. Shimon Samuels, who oversees the centers International Relations department, outlined the reasons for the travel advisory.

'I see no future for Jews in the Netherlands'
We reluctantly are issuing this advisory because religious Jews and other members of the Jewish community there have been subject to anti-Semitic taunts and harassment. There have been dozens of incidents reported to the authorities but have not resulted in arrests or convictions for hate crimes, said the two Wiesenthal Center representatives in a statement.
Cooper and Samuels added that a contributing factor to this decision has been the outrageous remarks of Malmö mayor Ilmar Reepalu, who blames the Jewish community for failing to denounce Israel.

“
I have family living in Malmo and the surrounding region, as well
as many family friends.
“
If the report in The Los Angeles Times a few years ago about Malmo
being overrun by Muslims is true...
G-d help your family and friends in that area.
IIRC, Maalmo was a favorite place because the Muslims can easily hope a boat
to Denmark, thus easily criss-crossing Europe at will.
Compare this with the historical position of Jews in American society where a disproportionately high number of American Jews have actively set out to undermine the constitution of the United States
How many did so as Jews, as opposed to former Jews who belong to the antisemitic atheist cult known as Communism?
Im not just talking about having liberal viewpoints Im talking about the deliberate subversion of the United States both through treasonous dealings with hostile foreign powers and through domestic terrorism (something that seems to have been conveniently airbrushed out of the record).
I raise you the San Patricanos traitors in the Mexican War, the NY Draft Riots of 1863, and most urban machines from 1850 to 1940.
Even those who didnt get involved in terrorism and treason went on to undermine society in ways which is not comparable with that of US Muslims or the Irish. Think about all the institutions most commonly blamed by conservatives for subverting the US; the media, Hollywood, the courts, Wall Street big banks, university campuses, well they aint exactly overstaffed with Mohammeds and Hassans and do seem to attract a disproportionately high number of another ethnic group who always seem to get a free pass among conservatives that Muslims dont.
And how many of the perpetrators are called such for breaking codes that the West got from the Jews? How many are either openly at war with Judaism or subvert it with "liberal Judaism"?
PS. Take another look at universities and Wall Street. Muslims are a protected class in universities with anti-Zionism and increasingly antisemitism being the norm. Wall Street Firms are all setting up Sharia-compliant funds and companies like Fox are being bought by Islamic nations through Sovereign Wealth funds.

Alarmist. This reminds me of how about five years ago, there was talk of how French Jews were under terrible threat, and would all have to flee. Nothing happened - indeed, the JDL in France is so strong that they can openly vandalise Arab bookstores.
“I raise you...”
So against a massively consistent and indeed transgenerational history of blatantly treasonous behaviour and frequently subversive violence against American society and the Constitution by a hugely disproportionate section of one of the most educated, privileged and wealthy sections of the US nation you raise the behaviour of a few hundred barely literate peasants who had hardly staggered off the boats a hundred a fifty years ago.
I hope you don’t actually play poker in real life.
Got any JDL examples on that?
Jews are being terrorized in various European cities. You should go to one like Malmo and put on a yarmulke and see how it works out for you. But no......you're sitting on your arse in comfy, far away from it all, Australia
One bookstore attack compared to hundreds of physical attacks on Jews. You are despicable
The treason of the elites and grievance politics afflicts almost every Western Country I know, including those with virtually no Jews.
PS. You may want to read the other person's arguements and supporting data before responding with ad hominem attacks.
I don’t attack all Jews, I very carefully phrase my words to make it clear I am referring to a disproportionate section of Jewish America.
I do not “minimise” Muslim violence on the contrary I recognise it for the extreme danger it is, I have never, repeat never, repeat again NEVER!, “apologised” for jihadis.
You are a liar sir, plain and simple, a liar.
I dont attack all Jews, I very carefully phrase my words to make it clear I am referring to a disproportionate section of Jewish America.
You are correct. I meant to write "Yet you attack a lot of Jews". I was angry and failed to double check my post. Sorry.
I do not minimise Muslim violence on the contrary I recognise it for the extreme danger it is, I have never, repeat never, repeat again NEVER!, apologised for jihadis.
Lets see.
"Given that left wing Jewish Americans have posed and continue to pose more of a threat to conservative American values and society than Muslims ever have and American Jews were involved in anti-American terrorism long before Muslims were I am often mystified why American conservatives are always so concerned about their fate." Notice that you didn't say some Jews. Also, the razziahs against American shipping as part of the wider Jihad began in 1784.
"One other thing, you might loathe the insurgents, you might hate their religion but could we at least concede that if foreign troops from Asia were occupying the US there might be more than a few American patriots who were prepared to fight the foreigners in exactly the same way the Taliban are?"
No, we would not kill civilians and target certain ethnic groups.
"As for your assertion that Indonesians were not originally Muslim, well since the state of Indonesia was founded in 1945 a majority of its citizens have been Muslim. If you mean the peoples of Java, Sumatera, and Borneo werent originally Muslim you are correct but then Ive got news for you the peoples of any country werent originally any religion, the Poles werent originally Catholic, the Chinese werent originally Buddhist and the Swedes werent originally Lutheran so I dont see what relevance this is to the article."
Notice how yoiu ignore the churches attacked or for that matter Ahmadi Mosques attacked.
" No I am not making some sort of moral equivalence argument. I am being a realist and no, anyone who deliberately targets unarmed civilians is a terrorist plain and simple. However anyone who, untrained, barely armed and with little more than raw guts decides to take his life in his hands and attack fully armed, trained, equipped and supplied professional soldiers who are backed up with airpower and artillery, well I dont regard such man as a terrorist or murderer no matter how much I want him to lose (I accept that Omar did indeed murder the medic who was trying to help him so this doesnt apply)."
These are not patriots. If they wanted us to leave, they would help us get rid of Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Instead they follow Mullahs who tell them that 9-11 is a lie and we are there to rape their women and plunder their land. They choose their desolation.
Where in those posts to I “apologise” for jihadis?
Read my retort to all of them.
