Not “the Israelis.” “The Jews.” (Not that it would have been justified for them to call for the deaths of Israelis, either.)
This wasn’t a political protest. This was a manifestation of the Muslim demonstrators’ jihadi sentiments.
“Anti-Semitic chants heard at Malmö demonstration,” The Local, December 9, 2017:
Anti-Semitic slogans as well as angry protests against Arab leaders were heard as around 200 hundred people demonstrated in Malmö on Friday.
The demonstration took place in reaction to US president Donald Trump’s decision to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognise the latter city as the Israeli capital.
“We take this kind of thing seriously in general. It could be an incitement for people to commit crimes,” police communications officer Calle Persson told TT.
Demonstrators shouted “we want our freedom back and we’re going to shoot the Jews”, among other slogans, according to a report by Sveriges Radio.
Protests in Malmö began spontaneously on both Thursday and Friday evening, according to a number of people who spoke to the radio station.
The protests have taken place without police permission, nor have police received any applications over future demonstrations, according to Region Syd (South) Police.
“Had there been any violence then we would of course have been present,” Persson said to TT….
“There is a latent threat against Jews in Malmö, and when things heat up in the Middle East that threat becomes more real. But there are currently no threats directed at one person or community,” he said.
Freddy Gellberg, a spokesperson for Malmö’s Jewish community, confirmed the police description of the elements of anti-Semitic sentiment in the city as a reflection of political developments in the Middle East, and added that Jewish people were on their guard through fear of being attacked.
“We are careful. You don’t want to display the Star of David around your neck or other Jewish symbols. An Orthodox Jew does not find life easy in Malmö, he is subjected (to discrimination),” Gellberg said….
“I was never attacked because of my religion. What is happening now is another type of anti-Semitism, whereby we are being attacked because of the political situation in the Middle East,” he said.
The community spokesperson said one problem is that many people with Middle Eastern heritage who have come to Sweden within the last 10-20 years do not distinguish between the region’s politics and Jews in Sweden, and therefore blame Swedish citizens for the actions of the Israeli state.
“I am not sure this is a fundamentally anti-Semitic issue,” Gellberg said, adding that it nonetheless is necessary to fight the hatred currently directed against the Jewish population….

Savvy Kafir says
Police should have arrested everyone who was calling for the death of Jews.
They sure as hell would have, if someone had screamed “We will shoot the Muslims!” Those people would be facing serious prison time.
mgoldberg says
Yes! that is the truth and the facts. And Why isn’t this reported.
You can never have demonstrations that have people, anyone calling for the deaths of muslims, as the police in most states would arrest the speakers…. but muslims doing it, as they have done forever- not a peep from the police or governments.
Savvy Kafir says
That sort of behavior is expected from Muslims — by EVERYONE. And the politically correct are determined not to notice or make a fuss when it does.
Wellington says
Damn right, Savvy Kafir, and serving as an indictment on what passes for leadership in the West in our time in the political realm, the media and that vast wasteland known as academia.
As bad as so many Buttlims are, dhimmi excuse makers for Islam are even worse because the excusing of evil, as Ayn Rand noted, is actually worse than evil itself.
eduardo odraude says
Savvy Kafir,
Many on the left engage in the “soft bigotry of low expectations” when it comes to Muslims. Where others would be arrested, Muslims sometimes get a pass, because many politically correct authorities don’t want trouble and anyway just consider some Muslim communities to be incorrigibly uncivilized. But the authorities in question interpret that backwardness not really as backward but just as a different and equally valid culture that is too weak and oppressed to rely on civilized means.
And, of course, some people are afraid to expect the same standards of Muslims, because that means confronting bad behavior, and confrontations can lead to anger and violence and could end up painting an Islamic target on your back if your face goes public as an allegedly “Islamophobic” official. And people are of course also afraid of career-destroying slander coming from the left, i.e., being labeled as a racist, bigoted, Islamophobe.

You got that right! Savvy Kafir…..if the reverse would occur it would be an emergency alert…on the news in this country…..in Sweden they would be in jail…with hate enhancements.

Jay Boo makes a good point.
eduardo odraude says
Yes, explicit calls for illegal violence are not included in free speech rights. Incitement to violence is grounds for arrest and prosecution.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes. Yes, Yes, and again yes.
Arrest, at once. Strip-search, checking for weapons. Use sniffer dog to check for possible explosives or illegal-drug residues (or precursors for same). Check ID and citizenship status. Run fingerprints and DNA sample through the unsolved-crimes data base. Check for outstanding arrest warrants.
Punish to the maximum extent of the law.
Deport, if non-citizen, after having subjected the creature to punishment, denied opportunity for ‘prison dawa’ by segregation from non-Muslim prisoners.
If the creature holds citizenship, investigate circs under which obtained; any fraud detected? – annull, and – sentence for crime, served – deport.
Richard Dutton says
So true. It is not allowed to call out the hatred of the primary haters of the whole world.
Andrew says
Very true. Europeans are second class citizens in their own lands and are treated accordingly when it comes to criticism of islam or the political elites.
They want their freedom back? Who has taken it away? Why are they living in Sweden? They are free to leave. Why don’t they go if they don’t like it? Oh, the religion of peace; double speak reigns!
Walter Sieruk says
All those Muslims who are so engaged with anger because President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the Capital city of the Jewish State of Israel are nonsensical. For the facts are Jerusalem was the capital of ancient Israel and likewise Jerusalem is the capital city of modern Israel. Those Muslims who are so very angry over this US embassy move to Jerusalem are a reminder that Benjamin Franklin had printed in POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACK “There are many reasons to become angry but very few good ones.”
underbed cat says
It was the usual apologist with Fox News…who interviews our Ambassador Nikki Haley…that sort of alleged that the President caused a disruption after he made his announcement that he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. There are many videos of stone throwing at that locations, and many disruption this was just another presentation, the usual call for rage since the have problems with details and facts. The fires were part of the scene, California get a clue. Benjamin so true. As other sayings go,,,,,, pick your battles…. problem is Hamas leader pick everything but tolerance or peace.
Manny says
Jews across Europe better be prepared. Muslims are looking for another holocaust.
jewdog says
The police sound very unsure of the situation and themselves. It does not instill confidence.
Westman says
The same can be said for the Jewish community spokesman – “I am not sure this is a fundamentally anti-Semitic issue”, Freddy Gellberg said.
Obviously, Mr. Gellberg has not read the Qur’an and still thinks he is among the early Muslims who came to escape from the Muslim states for the Western opportunity to participate in a meritocracy. These demonstrators are not the doctors and engineers of 30 years ago.
dumbledoresarmy says
Swedish Jews, if not prepared to up sticks right away and make aliyah to a place – namely, Israel – where, although openly attacked by Musiims, they *will* have a greater freedom to engage in self-defence – would be advised to hunt up some Krav Maga instructors and organise classes for *the whole community* – every able-bodied person from age 7 on up to 70. And find people, within their community, who are able-bodied, smart, and able to undertake training as *weapons-carrying* security guards. They are in danger. The mohammedans have declared an intent to kill. That declaration should not be ignored; preparation should be made to meet Amalek with, if necessary, deadly force.
Bodega says
I agree. To not prepare is equivalent to prepare for suicide. I have known a Jew who was suicidal like that.
I wish I could help them. It really is time to “get real” about all Muslims…and I still don’t understand why
Muslims cannot sign a Pledge of Allegience to the US within 3 months of close observation to make sure they don’t disappear into our country side and be expected to read and understand our US Constitution and Bill of Rights at the same time. We have expected that of all other immigrants. Why are the Muslims an exception?
LeftisruiningCanada says
They sound ridiculous.
““We take this kind of thing seriously in general. It could be an incitement for people to commit crimes,”
“Demonstrators shouted “we want our freedom back and we’re going to shoot the Jews”
Don’t know about you, but that makes me think they are going to shoot the Jews.
Westman says
First we saw the “German” Muslim demonstration flags flying in Germany; then they resurfaced in France as “French” flags, and now, they appear as the flags of Sweden. The Muslim integration must be going well for the EU, since the same flag is being used throughout….
Bill says
I think the Swedish Government would back the Muslims on these threats.
Walter Sieruk says
Those Muslim demonstrators in the nation of Sweden who are yelling out “We’re going to shoot the Jews.” Is the tragic and sad outcome of the anti-Jewishness that is so much part of the essence of Islam. Such extreme Muslim hate for the Jewish people is the results of a firm but blind and unquestioning faith in the “holy book” of Islam the Koran. Which instructs in violence and killing for the cause of Islam. As found in, for example, 4: 89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. In other words the Koran inspires and causes such hideous violence. Furthermore, another role the Koran has in such deadly Islamic terror attacks in the Jewish nation of Israel is that the Koran contains many negative about the Jewish people. The reason that the Koran reads as it does have much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first. Later then they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Koran. Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Koran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60. Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [K.J.V.]
abad says
Moslems spend a lot of time talking about killing people don’t they.
Such talk is what makes a person so violent and Islam is the most violent religion on earth, its members either 1) talk about killing people, 2) actually kill people while screeching “Allahu Akhbar”
DRHazard says
The very fact that this is allowed to happen in a Western country proves that even radical Muslims understand that democracy is better than Shariah. I can only assume they are stupid or hate Jews or both. I say they are stupid because, if Shariah was the law of the land in Europe, they would lose what they (and many westerners) now take for granted. And that doesn’t include the free ride. Instead they would find themselves living in the poverty, fear and hatred that follows Islam wherever it takes root. The only positive element of such a situation would be the worthless sense of pride they might feel having destroyed the values that barely hold the World together.

About as spontaneous as not eating during the day at ramadan.
Most other protests would have been broken up if they’d come without permissions.

Richard Paulsen says
Always wondered what Palestinians and other Muslims escape from, seeking shelter in Sweden. What is Sweden defending Muslims from, attacking Jews, Christians and other Non Muslims in Sweden.
. Escaping from Nazis and communists was one thing, but this?
It is a new philosophy meaning everyone is equal and there should be no borders and there is freedom of religion.
It is a very disturbing philosophy resulting in Islam growing in Sweden. Thus attacking Jews.Like living in a Nazi Nation. Hate it.
dumbledoresarmy says
Richard: is there anything at all that you can personally *do*?
You *could* write a letter of solidarity to the head of the Jewish community in Sweden. You could go yourself to the nearest synagogue and express solidarity. You could contact the Swedish Democrats and ask their leaders to *publicly* express solidarity with Jews in Sweden – and with Israel, which is a target of genocidal Muslim jihad. The Swedish Democrats should be raising the roof about the refusal of the current government and law enforcement to do anything real in response to this appalling demonstration that involved open declarations of intent to KILL law-abiding Swedish citizens for no other ‘reason’ than that they are Jews.
I wonder whether Islamosavvy Swedes could do something like… putting up Hanukkah lights outside home, church, or business, as an act of solidarity. Or getting together large groups of people willing to stand guard and do ‘lookout duty’ outside synagogues on Saturdays during the services. Frankly, the *army* should guard the synagogues … but in concealment, so as to *ambush* any mohammedans who attempt an attack.
Depending on where you lived, it might take considerable courage; even more, perhaps, to don a Star of David and hold a march of solidarity with Swedish Jews. (Could the Swedish Democrats muster, say, several hundred, or several thousand, able-bodied men – aged 18-55? – to do just that? – all put on the star of David, carry the flag of Israel side by side with the Flag of Sweden, and rally outside every synagogue… and then march to Parliament and demand that Sweden’s Jews be protected, along with every *other* non-Muslim citizen of Sweden, all of whom are more and more in peril?).
Just a few ideas.
Richard Paulsen says
Agree. Lots done. Swedish democrats up in the opinion. As big as the Social democrats. 23% in the last one. Between 14-28% in different. 12,8% last election. Next in September 2018.
Socialdemocrats forming government together with the Miljöpartiet (The Greens). Noone willing to cooperate with the Swedish democrats. Will need 51%. Which is impossible.
Hard or impossible to be against islamization here. Being met with the most absurd arguments and actings against.
Media discriminating the Swedish democrats. Members fired from jobs and organizations. Like in the Sovjet Union.
Trying our best. The other parties not changing. Reacting when something happens.
Going on as if nothing happened. Terrible.
dumbledoresarmy says
Richard.
It does sound very hard.
All I can say is to keep on encouraging the Swedish Democrats – encouraging people to support them and to join them.
They need 51 percent. Then 51 percent – however currently deemed impossible – HAS to be the goal. You’re not starting from zero: you said they already have a possible 23 percent? Nearly halfway there. Another 28 percent to go…
If a Christian: pray and fast. Because.. “Nothing is impossible with God”.
Then do what one can, not only to awaken and warn, not only to inform, but *also* – at every opportunity, affirm everything good in Swedish culture and history, everything that you love, everything that Islamisation of Sweden destroys and will destroy. You have to find where the embers of your society are still glowing, and *feed* them.
Right now the Jewish feast of Hanukkah is beginning.
The broader context for that feast is given in the books of the Maccabees in the Catholic Bible. Had the Maccabees not *fought* like tigers against Antiochus and his ilk, and prevailed, there would have been no Judaism, no Jesus and Mary, no Temple in Jerusalem for the child Jesus to visit.
The feast of Hanukkah that Swedish Jews will be celebrating, celebrates the rededication of the Temple that had been desecrated by the pagan occupying tyrant, whom the Maccabees defeated. They found only enough consecrated oil remaining, to burn for one night; but it burnt for *eight* nights… so goes the story.
Perhaps we should think of that story when we read, in the first chapter of John’s gospel, the words, “the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it”.
Richard Paulsen says
The Attorney General Morgan Johanson and and the Foreign Minister Margot Wallström indeed have tweeted saying that it is unacceptable and that the guilty should be brought before Justice. If it will be possible to capture them, that is.
eduardo odraude says
When the Muslim population grows beyond some minuscule percentage of a population, the rest of the population may start to feel speech subtly held hostage to a threat of violence, with the result that self-censorship starts to take hold of a frightened media. At that point, the main voices in the media become those that are unaware of the dangers of Islam and consider warnings about those dangers to be nothing more than racism and Islamophobia. Since public criticism of Islam is at that point severely punished from two sides at once, the public for the most part hears only the “Islam is peace” meme and does not realize that media output has been skewed by fear.
No doubt the feeling that speech critical of Islam is held hostage is diminished by the Second Amendment. The same feeling would also be greatly diminished if the many on the left who slander Islam-critics as “racists” would stop that slander. An Islam-critic not only has to face death threats and violence from Muslims, but in the face of such death threats and violence can expect little support or help from non-Muslims, who will often even seek to destroy the reputation of the Islam-critic.
This double jeopardy reminds of the Spartans at pass of Thermopylae. A few hundred Spartans, accompanied by hundreds of helots, and in league with a couple of thousand other Greeks, took advantage of the narrowness of the famous pass in order to hold off a Persian army of a hundred thousand or more for several days — until the Persians found a way around the pass and could then attack the Spartans from two sides at once. Once that happened, the Spartan resistance to the massive Persian invasion was crushed. But the Spartans had bought a couple of days for Greeks further south and particularly for the Athenians, to prepare for the invasion. And so the oracle’s famous prophecy was fulfilled. The oracle had said that for Greece to be saved from the invasion, a Spartan king had to die, and one of the two Spartan kings, Leonidas, did die at Thermopylae. So one can remember that even when up against overwhelming odds and expecting to be surrounded in short order, with the battle almost hopeless, fighting on can still be critical in winning the longer war.

From the article – “…around 200 hundred people demonstrated in Malmö on Friday.”
Only 200? Gee, the mohammedan mob are slipping.. or perhaps it’s just a tad chilly, out??
Friday, of course. The day favoured for mohammedan mayhem. Law enforcement and military in all non-Muslim lands infested with mohammedan colonies *ought* to know by now that Friday is when the mohammedan insta-mob and the mohammedan assassins particularly like to get active, and should plan and prepare accordingly. A pre-emptive display of *force* wouldn’t go astray, so long as they make it quite clear they are perfectly prepared to *use* that force to the max if the mohammedans propose to attack anything or anybody.
Further thought: assuming that the report is accurate, and it *was* just 200 mohammedan mobsters (plus enablers/ fellow travellers?) I propose that during Hanukkah pro-Israel pro-freedom Islamosavvy Swedes consider holding BIGGER rallies and marches, demonstrating solidarity with Israel and with Swedish Jews. Carry Hanukkah lights. Carry Israeli flags and Swedish flags, correctly displayed according to protocol. And…you have to aim to field 500 people, *at least*. Are the Islamoaware in Sweden – e.g among rank and file in the Swedish Democrats – sufficiently numerous and networked, to get 500 people onto the streets with *some* advance notice? The bigger the gathering the better: safety in numbers; and preferably, able-bodied blokes in the majority.
Aim to get out in public with more – LOTS MORE – than the mohammedans just mustered for their ‘let’s threaten Israel-and- Jews’ hatefest.
Carol says
This is such an aberrant phenomena in the Western world that people largely just lie low and watch and hope sanity will soon surface and prevail. But we all know the saying “If you don’t want to get into a fight, ACT CRAZY” and unfortunately this gives muslims a natural advantage over reticent, civilized folk.
