Anti-Semitism on the rise in Malmö

SvD today has a heart-wrenching interview with Barbro Posner, resident of Malmö, about the rising anti-Semitism in Malmö. It is so embarrassing that 70 years after the Kristallnacht, anti-Semitism is yet again showing its ugly face, and we all have a responsibility to fight it! Mrs. Posner says in the interview that she has even considered leaving Malmö and moving to Israel to get away from the threatening situation that faces the Jewish community in Malmö.

Mrs. Posner also criticises Illmar Reepalu, the Labour chairman of Malmö's city council, who has attempted to dictate Swedish foreign policy through his resistance to the Davis Cup match this weekend, asking how she could possibly feel safe in a city ran by him.

The attacks on the Jewish community says something about the intelligence level of those criticising Israel, in that they fail to see that there is not necessarily a connection between a Jew and the state of Israel. Mrs. Posner was badgered in the street by a Swedish woman, who started off by saying: "You are murdering children" and ended up saying: "You are so stingy". She obviously went from criticising Israel, for which in her mind Mrs. Posner had to answer, to pure anti-Semitism. Embarrassing.

I'm not proud I'm Swedish today.
