Muslim and leftists thugs attack police at last year's 'protests' at the presence of an Israeli player at a Davis Cup tennis match in Malmö, Sweden

Threats and harassment are becoming increasingly commonplace for Jewish residents in Malmö in southern Sweden, leading many Jews to leave the city out of fear for their safety.

“Threats against Jews have increased steadily in Malmö in recent years and many young Jewish families are choosing to leave the city,” Fredrik Sieradzki of the Jewish Community of Malmö (Judiska Församlingen i Malmö) told The Local.

“Many feel that the community and local politicians have shown a lack of understanding for how the city’s Jewish residents have been marginalised.”

Last year there were 79 crimes against Jewish residents reported to the police in Malmö, roughly double the number reported in 2008, according to the Skånska Dagbladet newspaper. Read the rest of this entry »

The proxy Jihad unrest over housing in East Jerusalem we touched on briefly last summer shows no signs of letting up. As the report below from today’s Jerusalem Post shows, tensions are still high; and riots and fighting are almost daily occurrences.

But what you probably don’t know is who’s pulling the strings. And, as the recent (and unsurprisingly completely slanted) video from the BBC’s Panorama programme above illustrates, it’s extremely unlikely you’d get to find out if you relied on the mainstream media:

The Shuafat refugee camp was the scene of renewed rioting on Tuesday, a day after clashes between young Palestinian residents and security forces in the sprawling east Jerusalem neighbourhood left four police officers and a border policeman lightly injured.

No injuries were reported by police on Tuesday afternoon. However, nine Palestinians were arrested for throwing rocks at security forces during the renewed clashes, bringing the total number of arrests in Shuafat over the past two days to 34. Read the rest of this entry »

Swedish FM Carl Bildt (left): vehemently anti-Israel and major enabler of Islamisation in Europe

…i.e. ‘Bash Israel, cosy up to Islamist dictatorships’ –  and raises the spectre that should alarm every European citizen –  an early EU entry for Turkey, a country descending rapidly into radicalism. Introducing Carl Bildt, major player in the Islamisation of Europe:

Turkey’s emergence as a strong foreign policy player in its region is making some people nervous, but Sweden’s foreign minister says the country’s step forward is good for everyone and calls for more dialogue with Ankara. ‘Very little would have happened in the last 50 years without political leadership. We need to overcome the burden of the past,’ he says

Turkey’s geo-strategic location and its increasingly dynamic foreign policy are advantages for Europe and the country’s European Union aspirations, according to Sweden’s Foreign Minister Carl Bildt. Read the rest of this entry »

Stay classy. Symbolic address as Israel’s President speaks in Berlin today. But the BBC thinks it little more than an inconvenience:

It is a sign of the times that when the Israeli president makes a state visit these days, unprecedented security measures are put in place.

So ever since Shimon Peres arrived in the German capital on Monday, Berliners have had to put up with road closures and traffic jams in the centre of the city – these road-blocks will be in place until Thursday.

Berlin’s Taggespiegel daily newspaper said Shimon Peres “was the most endangered political leader in the world after the US president”. Read the rest of this entry »

Israel's Ambassador to the UK, Ron Prosor has some home truths for the British Government

In a response to recent legal moves by group of Jihad-supporting lawyers, far-left groups (and possibly now Hamas, it is emerging), Ron Prosor, Israel’s Ambassador to the UK has some frank words that the British establishment, trades union movement and academia really need to hear:

In British NGOs, trade unions and universities, an obsession to delegitimise and demonise the Jewish State has come to characterise the daily routine.

This month, a Westminster magistrate was persuaded to issue an arrest warrant for one of Israel’s leading international figures, the head of the opposition and former foreign minister, Tzipi Livni. Read the rest of this entry »

Rabbi Dov Gruzman: vicitm of violent Muslim attack in Vienna at the weekend

Happy Hanukkah – Religion of Peace™ member spreads the love, even at another faith’s Holy Festival:

A Muslim man [apparently a 'Palestinian' -Ed.] attacked a Chabad rabbi Saturday night as he was conducting the annual ceremony to light the public Chanukah menorah in Stefenfaltz Square in the city of Vienna, Austria.

The attacker hurled himself at Rabbi Dov Gruzman, principal of the city’s Jewish school run by the Chabad-Lubavitch Chassidic

As the rabbi tried to hold off his attacker, the Muslim suddenly bit his victim, severing part of his finger in the process. The Muslim was caught and arrested by police, and was held for questioning. The rabbi was evacuated to the hospital where doctors rushed to reattach his finger. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to Scotland: is this the kind of anti-Israeli protest the Scottish TUC has in mind, when it encouraging football fans to wave Palestinian flags at visiting Israeli supporters?

The Brothers are at it (their long-ingrained anti-Semitism) again:

[The Scottish Trade Union Congress] asked fans of the Celtic Football Club to wave Palestinian flags during Wednesday’s match with the Israeli football team Hapoel Tel Aviv in the city of Glasgow.

British media said that the Scottish Trade Union Congress had asked Celtic supporters to “show solidarity with suffering Palestinians” at the Europa League game.

Celtic – whose fans often wave Irish flags because of their historic ties with Ireland and the Roman Catholic community – urged their supporters to ignore the call. Read the rest of this entry »

Arabic and other editions of Mein Kampf are popular across the Muslim world

Hitler book is a top-selling Eid present among ‘educated’ Dhaka Muslims. Meanwhile, the BBC manages the astonishing editorial feat of managing to produce the entire article without mentioning the word ‘Jew’ or Anti-Semitic’:

Booksellers touting their wares amid the heavy traffic in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, have discovered an unusual best-seller.

Adolf Hitler’s autobiography manifesto Mein Kampf is selling as well as Dan Brown’s latest novel, The Lost Symbol. Read the rest of this entry »

While emotional onlookers waved Indian flags and banners with slogans such as “End The Violence”, police commandos with new weapons and armoured cars tracked the route the 10 gunmen took for an attack that stunned the country.

The show of strength was in contrast to more emotional events across India’s commercial capital.

Residents lit candles outside a Jewish centre, one of several sites from luxury hotels to the city’s biggest railway station, that were targeted by 10 Pakistan-based militants in a rampage lasting three days. Read the rest of this entry »

Winds of change? Anti-Israel attitudes in Turkey, long unique among Muslim countries for its normalised relations with Israel, are on the rise.

..as Kemal Atatürk’s vision of a secular, West-facing Turkey is steadily dismantled by the AK Party Government:

Although Turks identify themselves as religiously tolerant, they do not behave that way in practice, according to a survey. There has been an increase in the number of people identifying themselves as religious since 1999, which might be related to the political atmosphere in Turkey, an academic says

Turkish people strongly identify themselves as religious and also regard religion as a source of tolerance. But when it comes to religious worship, a significant number are not as tolerant of people from other religions, concludes a survey released Tuesday. Read the rest of this entry »
