If It's Made In Sweden, I Don't Want It



You know that country in the Northern part of Europe, known for making good cheese, watches, and some really good quality knives? Well, they're also becoming known for creating something else...hate...

The Swedish were 'neutral' during WWII...unwilling to take a stand against the Nazis...and considering their recent behavior, there is no longer a need to wonder why...

In a piece on Ynetnews.com, Adi Porat says it all, "In the country that likes to present itself as equal and neutral, Israel is considered the greatest nemesis of our time."

Here's a case in point...reports about terror attacks during the first Intifada didn't identify the perp as a suicide bomber, but instead, that "four Israelis and a Palestinian were killed in an explosion," as if the unfortunate 'Palestinian' merely happened to be at the scene of the blast...when HE was the bomber.

Nothing like neutrality, huh?

Oh, but there's much more...recently, the Swedish paper, Aftonbladet, published on it's website an article accusing the IDF of harvesting 'Palestinian' organs. It was an egregious lie. The Israeli government declared that it expected the Swedish government to officially condemn the article. PM Bibi Netanyahu stated , "We do not want the Swedish government to apologize, we want it to issue a condemnation."

The Swedish response? Although Swedish Ambassador to Israel Elisabet Borsiin Bonnier's condemned the report, the Swedish government said that didn't represent their position.

What?? So they're OK with the hateful paltering? Hmmm...interesting.

While some might say Sweden is taking this stance for political reasons...many know this is merely a facade for good ole, enduring anti-Semitism!

You know...it's no wonder there is a growing Muslim population in Sweden (nearly 10 million)...they must feel right at home.

I have to say...I do love cheese, use watches...and on occasion, need a good quality knife. But from now on...if it's made in Sweden: I don't want it!

Shalom through strength...
