Efrat Hochstetler, Deputy Chief of Mission at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, said: “We are not a country that hunts people down at the airport and retaliates. We are a democratic country with the rule of law and this verdict ignores that.”
Of course. Because Leftist Sweden is besotted with “Palestinian” victimhood propaganda, and is full of people who sympathize more with Feras Alnadim than with his victims. And it’s only going to get worse there.
“Sweden refuses to deport Palestinian who firebombed a synagogue for fear he will be Israeli target,” by Richard Orange, Telegraph, September 15, 2018:
A court in Sweden ruled that a Palestinian man found guilty of throwing a Molotov cocktail at a synagogue cannot be deported to the Occupied Palestinian Territories, prompting a sharp rebuke from Israel.
The Court of Appeal for Western Sweden ruled that Feras Alnadim’s “fundamental human rights” would be threatened because he would be at risk of reprisals.
The court cited Israel’s “potential interest in the case” and “the insecure situation at the border and in the territory”.
Alnadim, 22, was sentenced to two years in prison in June, as one of three men, two Palestinian and one Syrian, found guilty of firebombing a synagogue in Gothenburg on December 9.
Some 20 Jewish teenagers were celebrating together in the building when the firebomb was thrown, but no one was injured. The three men were identified from security camera footage and arrested shortly afterwards.
In its judgement, the appeal court said that as the attack had taken place only a few days after Donald Trump, the US president, announced the US embassy’s move to Jerusalem, saying it was clearly “intended as a revenge attack against Israel”.
It could also, it ruled, be considered “a serious political crime directed at other Jews”.
Efrat Hochstetler, Deputy Chief of Mission at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, said the ruling was “a very politicised verdict that is not based on the reality that exists in Israel”.
“We are not a country that hunts people down at the airport and retaliates,” she said. “We are a democratic country with the rule of law and this verdict ignores that.”…
“Having that in the verdict is a legitimisation of violent antisemitism,” she said. “I think that if someone firebombs a synagogue then this shows that there is hostility towards Jews that has nothing to do with Israel.”

As if Israel couldn’t find this guy in Sweden.

Ugh!
I must say that the posts keep getting more horrendous and what people are putting up with, and expected to tolerate, is beyond insane! One would truly be in danger of being desensitized to it with the steady diet coming in. But we can’t allow that to happen. I am appalled and disgusted about every single incident that gets reported here and elsewhere, but of course I don’t have the time to comment on each one, especially since there are so many and increasingly so. I also get news updates from many sources on a daily basis to stay on top of the current world events. I get the news article list daily from JW and look at each one and pretty much have the same reaction each time; shock and disgust. I do tend to leave a comment or so on some where I feel there is more to say, but the default reply of “Ugh!” is always there!
Take for example the comment left below by mccode, a very telling account of the reality we live in. Many are totally oblivious to the toll taken and propagandized by the fantasy world of the left, where it’s all unicorns and ponies, dancing through fields of daisies and pansies.
Of course there is the danger of becoming terrified, which is what the terrorists want, so you can’t let them win. As I keep saying, I AM NOT AFRAID!
I am not afraid to live, and I am not afraid to die for my faith! I keep marching on with my Christian activities and public testimonies; boldly! I also keep enjoying my life fearlessly. That is not to brush matters under the rug. It is a different world. But my duty and calling is the same. When it is time for me to be called home to the Lord, in that perfect timing is when I will go, so I have no fear for details leading up to it in my every day life events. My whole life is a testimony of God’s protection and provision so I have no reason to doubt Him on my perfect timing of departure. I just have a very healthy, balanced, and stress-free perspective on all of this that I want to share with others. So don’t be a bad news ostrich, but don’t live life stifled by fear either, because either way, they win. Living the way I do, they lose…. and I WIN! I only revere God, and I fear no man or event. There are hundreds of Bible verses I could share that illustrate living our life by trusting God and having faith in Him. He never promised it would be a primrose path full of riches and ease. But even in other areas of life aside from terrorism, people around me are so paralyzed by fear, fear that this will go wrong or that, that they can’t even enjoy anything. I have enjoyed so many blessings in life simply because I trust in God and He got me through safely, and that includes while helping others too, not just enjoying life.
I’m not planning any trips to Europe right now. But, if the Lord called me to go there, I would go without any fear. If I live or if I die, it is all in and for the Lord. We never know when our time has come, so it is best to get right with God when you know you DO have the time! Time to dust off that Bible and start reading it.

Hamas: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
Taliban: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
Al-Badr: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
Al-Nusra: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION

Muslim Brotherhood: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
Palestine Liberation Front: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
Abdullah Azzam Brigades: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
Moro Islamic Liberation Front: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION, etc.
There are three kinds of muslims:
1) The muslim who lives in an Islam dominant society, is muslim because to be otherwise would mean certain death.
2) The western world muslim who wanted to be part of something, so became muslim, but has no clue what Islam really teaches.
3) The ACTUAL muslim, who spends their lives subjugating or attempting to subjugate others because they understand that this is exactly what Muhammad taught is the duty of all muslims.
Spiro says
You got that right!!!!
James Lincoln says
Another way to categorize…
A Muslim’s relationship to Islam at any given point in time and its effect on unbelievers.
Note: The individual Muslim’s category can change over time!
Muslim in name only: Knows little about Islam. Not particularly dangerous.
Muslim light: Starting to learn more about Islam. Not particularly dangerous – at the moment.
Muslim “mainstream”: Has become a “better” Muslim. Attends local mosque, follows the call to prayers, etc. Does not directly participate in jihad violence, however supports jihad violence and sharia law. May participate in “soft” jihad. Dangerous to the unbelievers.
Muslim violent jihadists: ISIS, etc. 100% devoted to Islam. Extremely dangerous to the unbelievers.

Savvy Kafir says
If the Swedish government doesn’t have the cajones & common sense to execute this terrorist themselves, they should paint a big bullseye on his back and send him off to the Mossad.
TassieR says
As far as Sweden is democracy, the bullseye ought to be painted (and IS painted, to judge from their recent elections) on the voters’ backs – to help with better aiming not any Mossad, but their own Muslim mobs
Walter Sieruk says
What wrong the those government officials of Sweden for refusing to deport that Muslim arsonist who firebombed a synagogue ? Could it be that be that the government officials of Sweden are so intimidated by the Muslims in their country that they fear Muslim riots of the Muslim arsonist is deported ? Could in be that some of the Swedish government might be taking Muslim bribes ? Is it that the Swedish government in heavily infiltrated by Muslims and Islamic power ? There other possible answers as to why that Muslim was not deported but it’s very difficult to discover the correct answer. Let’s just hope that Muslim arsonist has an awful time in prison he serves his full two years and is not released early for “good behavior.”
Nevertheless this above news report for Sweden reflects Islam hate for Jewish people has now spread ,just a plague of an infectious disease , an Islam disease, even to the nation of Sweden.
Furthermore , this Muslim hate for the Jews is the outcome 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. This has everything to do with the history of the prophet and founder of Islam, who was Muhammad The history is that 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.]

Grotesque sympathy for evil.

I’m sure Israel doesn’t want Alnadim. Please keep him, Sweden, he’s all yours. If you release him after a short sentence and let him wander your streets again, you will be responsible for the outcome.

Sorry, but fear is GOOD when justified. People should be terrified and force their governments to deport all illegals.
