“Eloin gadol”

Thanks, Fabian!

SO Muffin, a dignified reaction wouldn’t register. Given that most western governments shiver with fright if Islamists as much as whisper threats, I am beginning to wonder whether their reaction would be the same, and they would act against Jew-hatred, if Jews threatened to riot in a like fashion.

The Israeli government has not even recalled its ambassador to Sweden as a form of protest and it should have done so when this excrement appeared. What sort of message does that send out? I know that the international press has no ethical standards worthy of the definition, so Aftonbladet will not be disciplined. What sort of “dignified but resolute” action do you have in mind and do you think that such an action would have any effect whatsoever?

Wasn’t that racist scum banned? Why is he back?

He proudly wear jewish (‘zionist’) jeans and have bald patches in his long hair

It is not as if Europe per se was anti-Semitic or if there was a huge tidal wave of anti-Semitism, or even anti-Zionism afoot. Those of us who actually live here (i.e. in Europe) can tell it from our personal experience.

Yet, the Aftonbladet affair is vitally important and it is absolutely vital to react to it and expose it for the toxic smear it is.

Racism (and, folks, anti-Semitism is neither more nor less than plain, stupid racism) is based on racist tropes, from the outright objectionable (oily Greeks, hook-nosed Jews, idle Blacks, stupid Irish, smelly Italians, treacherous Arabs) to the thoroughly, absolutely nasty (Jews slaughtering Gentile children to use their blood, Blacks raping blonde virgins, …). Such tropes are emphatically not some sort of harmless background: they are the major vehicle of desensitization, so that people become inured to racism and willing to break social and personal taboos to advance their hate.

Now, it is of course possible for an individual Jew, like for any other individual, to kill a non-Jew for his-or-her organs. Unlikely, but possible. It is equally possible, say, for a Black to rape a blonde virgin (although statistically it is hugely more likely for a blonde rapist to do so). But, firstly, there is a huge difference between an individual perpetrating this sort of crime and an accusation that it is done collectively: that, say, the Blacks of Chicago, or Jews of Israel are engaged, purposefully and together, in this sort of enterprise (as claimed by Aftonbladet).

Secondly, everybody but a hardened racist will realise the sheer danger in this sort of blank accusation. Hence, everybody but a hardened racist will require hard evidence from reliable sources. The only “evidence” in the Aftonbladet article is that bodies of Palestinians who have been killed in encounters with IDF have been returned to their families “with stitches along their abdomen”. Well, even the author would have known perfectly well that in every organised country (yes, even in Sweden) everybody who has died an unnatural death will be autopsied (in Israel, by the Forensic Medicine Institute in Abu Qabbir, in South Tel Aviv) – and stitches along the abdomen are (as everybody who has viewed any of all these morbid police procedural dramas will know) characteristic of an autopsy. To use this (knowingly!) as the sole source for a canard based on long-standing anti-Semitic trope is a deliberate act of anti-Semitism of the highest order.

And this precisely is why there should be a reaction. Not a violent one, not burning Swedish embassies or boycotting IKEA (founded by a member of the Swedish Nazi Party) or boycotting Swedish academics. Ther should be reaction which is dignified, but resolute. Until the Swedish elites recognise the sort of racist viper that they have nourished at their bosom.

I believe they expressed it as “it can take up to 3 months to do a thorough check etc – and we will be VERY thorough”

LOL!!

My worry is if the herring trade (pickled, shmaltz and chopped) is going to suffer!

He doesn’t talk about Israelis or Zionists, nope, its Jews. Apparently, the reason New York rabbis were involved was because the Palestinian body parts aren’t Kosher and the Rabbis have to Kosher the parts. Presumably they wash them, sprinkle salt and leave for a few hours. I learnt that there are secretive grave sites called the “Numbered Graves” where there are no names but just numbers. The Palestinians don’t allow anyone to go there for some mysterious reason. They posit that they don’t want people to see the mutilated bodies with parts missing. Yup, the Palestinians themselves are in on the conspiracy! Yes, the greatest anti-Israel propaganda coup of the millenia and the Palestinians are just sitting on it. Amazing!

According to this cockroach and his American echo in another studio these are FACTS! So when challenged by a caller peturbed at the one-sided barrel of lies challenges them on ‘the facts’ they dump him and say “These ARE the facts. Prove me wrong”.

They go on to make a few antisemitic ‘jokes’ and wonder what would happen to them at Fox if they said the same things (giggle).

Its freedom of speech folks.

“God Bless America!”

The evening paper Aftonbladet has published some sensational story about Jewish soldiers harvesting organs from dead Palestinians. The articles was written by Donald Boström, who is a well known pro-Palestinian, and therefore not anywhere near objective to start with.

As for the amount of truth in the allegations – well, who knows? In this conflict people seem to be completely blind to anything but their own preferences. But knowing what I know about Aftonbladet – a rag of a tabloid that makes the British Sun appear serious and truthful – I never take any of their articles seriously. Lies, more lies – and Aftonbladet…

But that’s not even the point. The point is the Middle East situation has made the Swedish antisemits crawl up from under their rocks; they pop up everywhere – most of all in the media.

During WWII Sweden was what was called “neutral”. In reality that meant we let German soldiers through here on their way to invade Norway. It also meant the Swedish government was the ones who actually suggested the yellow star to begin with; a star in the passports made the Swedish authorities able to bar the way of the Jewish fugitives coming here…

Of course policy changed quite a lot once the atrocities of the death camps became known. But there were many, many nazis in this country – and there still are. Neutral? That’ll be the day…
