Sweden: 20 masked men firebomb synagogue, Jews hide in basement, police block off area

Dec 9, 2017 7:17 pm By Robert Spencer

The perpetrators could be “right-wing extremists” or neo-Nazis, but they’re much more likely to be members of Sweden’s rapidly growing Muslim population, enraged that President Trump has recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital — or using that recognition as a pretext to attack Jews in Sweden.

“JUST NOW: Fire attack against Jewish youth party – big police force,” translated from “JUST NU: Brandattack mot judisk ungdomsfest – stort polispådrag,” Expressen, December 9, 2017:

20 masked men have been seen throwing burning objects against the synagogue in central Gothenburg.

“We are in place with a number of units,” said Peter Nordengard, police chief of the West Western region.

A youth party is taking place in the parish home next to the synagogue. The youth have moved down in the basement of the premises.

The police have gone up in a special event.

The alarm arrived at 22.10 on Saturday night.

Testimony talks about 20 masked men have been seen throwing burning objects against the synagogue in central Gothenburg.

“We do not know much more than there are several molotov cocktails that have been thrown against the synagogue. These are bottles and gasoline, says a police at the site of GP.

The police have set up lockouts in the area around the synagogue. At midnight the police had no suspicion.

“We wish for advice from the public about the possible perpetrators,” says Lars Tunefjord, RLC commander at police region West, to TT.

The police do not know if any threat has been presented to the Jewish Assembly in Gothenburg, but you are analyzing a threat picture.

On Saturday night, a group of Jewish youth organized a party in the synagogue. The GT has talked to a mom whose daughter is now in the building.

“I received a text from her 20-30 minutes ago. She wrote that ‘Mom I’m getting scared’, and that there are 20 masked men throwing burning objects.”

The mother goes on:

“They always watched their parties, and they told the youth to run down the basement. They are stuck there now. My daughter says it smells like gas. It is extremely unpleasant. One has been afraid that something like this might happen.”

The parents of the young people should have received a sms about coming and retrieving their children. No one allowed to leave the room alone.

“My husband is on my way to town to pick up our daughter now,” said the mother whom the GT spoke with.

Trump’s decision to move the embassy can lie behind this

Allan Stutzinsky is chairman of the Jewish Assembly in Gothenburg. He was in place during the decease. He saw the masked people running from the place.

“There were dozens of masked people throwing burning objects into the yard.

At the party held in the center next to the synagogue, there were about 30 young people. When the attack occurred, it was decided to terminate the activity and, when it felt safe, was left under orderly forms, says Allan Stutzinsky.

No person should have been injured in the attack as far as he knows.

He does not know if there should have been any direct threat to the synagogue, but says that when things happen in Israel, the threats and risk of attack increase.

“The events of the last few days with Trump and Israel and the troubles between Israel and Palestine, such things always lead to more threats.”

    It was to be expected wasn’t it? Considering that Sweden is the rape capital of Europe as well as the HQ for the Caliphate of Europe, at least for now. Of course the Swedish cops and elitist judges and Politicians will make sure to conduct a “very thorough and comprehensive, lengthy investigation” for about 15 or 20 minutes and then close the case as nonpunishable because to do so would infringe on the “Human Rights” of the slime to “practice their religion”. Which is clearly what the fascist scum have done here.

      PaulM says: “…“very thorough and comprehensive, lengthy investigation” for about 15 or 20 minutes…”

      Criticisms: You missed “investigation **by an independent board**…”!

      Further, 15 or 20 minutes. I believe the Swedish judiciary (???) is far, far too overworked (apart from intimidated by the powers/ultraleft in charge) to have such vast amounts of time available for an ‘investigation’ with a forgone conclusion.

      Of course, those firebombing a peaceful place of worship during a youth event are not “demonstrators”.

        First most moslim in world war 2 hide jews from the nazie. Only one SS division ran all the death camps. Most SS divisions where military units they where may be more ruthlessly than some germany combat units. What about our bombing or gemany cities by fire bombs.War is hell. Not all nazie where hard core innercircle party member. Alot of germany people during the party after nazie came to power it you want to keep your job or get than job you have to be than party member. Unless you where refugees from than soviet control Baltic nation you didnot have to be than party member to get work. When I grew up on long island there was than female SS officer who help jewish man to hide from the nazie later they got married and move to the united state. There where many good nazie who where kind heart even to jew. The german rocket sciencist who help us to put the first man on the moon was than member of the outer nazie party member.

    As of 7:15pm CST on Saturday Dec 9, 2017, the only mainstream U.S. news agency that has an article on this is CNN. I also checked Fox, Newsmax, One American News Network, CBS, ABC, and NBC – nothing on any of those web sites.

    The Swedes are Lutherans. Martin Luther wrote a book after he became embittered when the Jews would not accept his teaching : “The Jews and Their Lies”. After WWII, during the Nuremburg trial, the infamous Nazi Julius Streicher, when in the dock, explained how Germans had been taught about the evil Jews from their Lutheran faith in effort to exculpate himself. Now Sweden is playing host to lots of anti-Semitic Muslims, which perhaps, despite some inconveniences like an elevated rape rate, makes them very happy.

    Is there anything that these lunatics could do that would cause the government to rethink their immigration and law enforcement strategy? There seems to be no limit.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Dec 10, 2017 at 8:49 am

      There seems to be no limit to two things:

      1) The savagery & barbarism of Islam.

      2) The ability of PC types to digest (or ignore) anything the Allah junkies throw at us, without learning anything.

    What are the odds that if a recently arrived Muslim refugee (one who is living in a refugee shelter and being fed and clothed care of the Swedish taxpayer) is caught firebombing a Synagogue he’ll be deported?

    Sweden is no longer a safe country, anymore. It is becoming Islamic, like the rest of Europe. Very sad.

    Let’s prove them wrong!
    Let’s do everything in our power to ensure that democracy, liberty,
    critical thinking, human rights, and basic human decency will dominate the world,
    instead of barbarism, misogyny, ignorance, and superstition.

    ” Practicing their religion ” always means physically attacking Jews and Infidels, or their wives or their children, or Shia if they are Sunni or Sunni if they are Shia. It is only a fluke that they walk upright and have opposable thumbs

    Those Muslim men with their vicious firebombing in the nation of Sweden may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter Sweden to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
    This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.
    So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter Sweden to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.

    I have relatives in Sweden who tell me I’m an alarmist and crazy for pointing out that Muslims hate western civilized culture and don’t want to do anything but take over and destroy what they didn’t and could not build. How long till they admit I’m simply being realistic?
