Anyone concerned for the re-emergence of anti-Semitism in Scandinavia who is not reading Sweden, Israel and the Jews is robbing themselves blind. If you follow Sweden, this is the place to go. Ilya Meyer has a larger archive. On the other hand Norwegian newspapers, with exception being made for Aftenposten, are not particularly interested in Malmö at all. Why is that?
Excerpt from Sweden, Israel and the Jews:
One of those exposed to anti-Semitic hate crime is Rabbi Shneur Kesselman of the Malmö Jewish community. He states in an interview with Expressen on March 5th that “ever since I came here people have been shouting ‘fucking Jew’ and ‘heil Hitler’ at me.”
Remember that next time you read a Astrid Lindgren novel. Now everbody out there, stick up for your fellow man.Yes, that means you.
That’s right.
Many years ago I always thought that Sweden and also Norway was a kind of boring although tranquil countries.
Both Sweden and Norway have manifested themselves into one of the most anti-semitic places to live as jews in the western world today. I would now think twice before visiting these countries on business as I always wear a Kippa (scull-cap) which would easily indentify myself as being Jewish, my family have also had their fair share of Jew-Hatred ie. persecution and terror meted out to us by our arab countrymen before we all fled our arab homeland in the 1950s. I only travel on business now with my companion protector-bodyguard dog a massive creature weighing in excess of some 125-130kg he was army trained in protection work, therefore any one whether a muslim hating jew or extreme right wing individuals whom decide to attack me would be in for a serious shock.
Dear Samir
It is my sincere conviction that you will be able to wear the Kippa in most of Scandinavia without encountering any problems. On the other hand I absolutely see how a Kippa-wearing person would be at risk while moving around in say Oslo east or Malmö. This is of course an intolerable state of affairs, a liberal democracy cannot have allow majority populations to establish “no-go” zones for other groups of people. 125-130 kg is very heavy for a dog.
Best regards
