Sweden Deputy PM Åsa Romsom says that what's happening in the Mediterranean is same as Auschwitz. Slightly over the top. Mildly speaking.

In a political debate broadcasted on Swedish national television this evening, Sweden's deputy PM Mrs. Åsa Romson, leader of the far left environmentalist party Miljöpartiet, stated that the disastrous situation on the Mediterranean Sea consisting in thousands of refugees losing their lives on their way to Europe is the 'Auschwitz of our time'. Romson's comparison has sparked up criticism, anger and dismay all over Sweden. (I haven't been able to find any article in English, so for now a tweet by former Swedish foreign minister and even earlier prime minister Carl Bildt will have to do.)

Best to sink the boats before they get out of sight form Africa.

That way they invaders can safely dog-paddle back home.

Sounds like she has no understanding of fascism in the history of Europe.

Choosing to risk life and limb to cross the Mediterrainian is not the same as being taking into custody and shipped by rail car to be exterminated in gas chambers, or be shot by German and other agents.

One more idiot outs himself for not knowing the difference, or at worst not really giving a damn in the first place.

Other than the fact the people are dying in quantity, there is nothing whatsoever this phenomenon shares with Auschwitz. And, by saying so without speaking about the REAL genocides that are going on in the Mideast under ISIS, and in Africa, this betrays an entirely typical level of liberal stupidity. Masked, of course, by the plaintive “we have to help” wailing. And ignoring, of course, the source of the problem which affects her own country very negatively as well.

Time for mass airlifts from North Africa to small boats off the Swedish coast

Yeah, for that matter it could be the result of a flood or an earthquake.

Meanwhile the eu dictatorial bureaucrats and the Obama “administration” keep trying to kill off the rest of the Jews — if only they’d just cooperate in their final extermination!

- Don’t ask me what is going on in the heads of Swedish leftists. One thing is clear though, by not sending them back, we Europeans encourage more to come. We should do what Australia is doing in this area. Their policy has been very successful.

Of course, the Swedish Deputy Prime Minister made no mention of the twelve Christians who were thrown off one of the boats by the muslim “refugees,” and left to drown in the Mediterranean.

When the real Auschwitz was happening, the Swedes sold steel to Hitler.

This reminds me of the dolts who likened the proposed border fence to the Berlin wall.

Probably not, since "neutral" Sweden was happy to provide the steel that made possible the war machine of the architects of Auschwitz.
