Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Sweden: Jews hiding their identity as violent Islamic antisemitism increases

Dec 5, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Jews in Sweden say that they are finding it harder to be openly Jewish as statistics show antisemitic attacks are rising across the country.” This is the inevitable fallout from vast Muslim migration; the same thing is happening in France and in Germany also.

It is particularly difficult for Jews in Malmö, Sweden: “the Jewish congregation of the southern Swedish city of Malmö has warned that rising antisemitism is turning the city into a no-go zone for Jews.” Bomb blasts are a part of life now in Malmo; the national bomb squad was called out to 30 blasts within two months.

Only a few years ago, Sweden was a peaceful and successful society, but like many other EU countries, its leaders flung open the doors to mass Muslim migration, which resulted in chaos. Sweden has now undergone a radical change. The violence there was even dubbed “the Arab Street” in a Bloomberg article that addressed the spread of anti-Jewish violence. A disturbing example: after Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a “Malmö chant was reported as: ‘We have declared an intifada from Malmö. We want our freedom back. And we will shoot the Jews.’”

But Sweden is only one country that has been turned upside down as a result of vast Muslim migration. The same maladies of violence, intolerance, antisemitism, jihad and Islamic supremacy seen daily in many Islamic countries have now entered Western countries via mass migration from the Middle East and Africa. Why wouldn’t they?

“Antisemitic Attacks on the Rise Across Sweden,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, December 3, 2019:

Jews in Sweden say that they are finding it harder to be openly Jewish as statistics show antisemitic attacks are rising across the country.

According to statistics published by the Swedish Crime Prevention Council (Brå), the number of antisemitic attacks has increased from 182 in 2016 to 278 in 2018, a 52 per cent increase, Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Radio reports.

The broadcaster spoke to a Jewish mother who sends her children to the Hillel Jewish school in Stockholm but declined to give her name. “It is very, very sad that it is so. And it is, perhaps, something that makes us sometimes think about moving to another country where it would be easier to fully be who we are.”

Shari Tingman, Acting Group Chief and Preliminary Investigation Leader at Stockholm Police’s Democracy and Hate Crime Group, said police need to do more to understand Jewish culture. Tingman stated: “If the police department cannot understand the culture, how should we be able to work with what is happening out there?”

Several weeks ago, on the anniversary of the Nazi Kristallnacht, the Hillel school was vandalised when an individual drew a Star of David on the front door along with the word “Jew”.

The actual figures for antisemitic attacks could be much higher as many Jews do not report them to the police according to Isak Reichel, secretary-general of the Jewish Central Council.

“Many people do not think there is any point in reporting. They have negative experiences from reporting a crime the police have not taken seriously, may not have considered it to be antisemitism, or just closed the investigation. So there is quite a bit of distrust, I think, and scepticism about reporting crimes to the police,” Reichel said…..

    Why would any Jew live in a country where they are afraid to live openly as Jews? Why would they choose to raise their children in such an atmosphere, especially when there is a choice?

      The question has troubled me all my life; and remains unanswered: From his first public speech in 1920 on to the beginning of mass murders in the Holocaust in 1939 Jews were told in clear, certain terms they were in danger. Half of Germany’s Jews got the message and tried to get out. The other half did not with many paying with their lives. Why is Holocaust Remembrance such a central and important issue for Jews if the lesson is ignored or lost?

      Many of them/most are there because of the white buses after the Holocaust, Sweden took some of the survivors on white buses after the war. There’s a great documentary about the Islamic problem in Sweden on Youtube. It’s made by Israeli TV, they sent an Iraqi born, Arabic speaking, Israeli journalist undercover to document the scary Islamification of Europe. It’s scary what they tell him, when they think he’s an Iraqi Muslim. It’s in Hebrew, but there are English subtitles. You can see it by searching on youtube for this phrase: “Muslims in Europe” four-part documentary.

        Also, Sweden saved all of the Jews of Denmark. Until quite recently, Sweden was actually a very good place for Jews to live.

    Youtube: Barbara Lerner Spectre calls for destruction of Christian European ethnic societies. So now it is a problem ?

      And isn’t she Jewish?
      Isn’t she associated with the Jewish Studies institute in …..SWEDEN?
      The multicult fantasy that is forcing Jews OUT of Europe promoted by such people?

      You Tube:Zionist Jews brag about muslim invasion of Europe

      “We the Jews” says the holy man….”our muslim brothers”…

      “Brothers”?Since when have Jews and muslims been brothers??

      That is as idiotic as Jews defending nazism:who is it that wants to DESTROY the Jews and Israel?

      It isn’t Christians or Europeans:it is the muslims!

        “We see ourselves fighting together{ie Jews and muslims} with our muslim brothers who want a free Europe,who want a peaceful Europe,who want to integrate……they are our natural allies”

        rabbi goldschmidt

        2017 Interview on Russia Today{same video on YT as I mentioned above}

        Free Europe?
        Peaceful Europe?
        integrate?How?

        “Oh ye who,take NOT the Christians and Jews for friends,They are friends to one another”
        koran 5 v 51

        Natural allies?Did the rabbi never READ the koran???

        Zionist Jews are #1 on islam’s hate list!!

        I am happy to support Israel and sensible Religiously observant Jews but these fools are betrayers of their own people.

          People have different plans. Some love communism and “united” Europe, so they want to destroy nationalities = Merkel, Macron, Pope etc. Few like orthodox Judes hate Christians so much, so they probably want to destroy them by the hands of Muslims. Btw. they want a destruction of Israel, becouse they are waiting for his Messaiah etc.

          And most of them brainwashed by educational@political system, belive that standing against Europe collonization by foreigners is just “rascism”. And the more Muslims will be imported, the better they are as modern humans. What they think, or what they do – do not matter. Building a new tower of Babel has a top notch priority

          Anyway I – as Christian I am not a fan of Jew religion, becouse it is their Islam. Both are very similar to each other. Both are telling about master race. No, after Nazi and Soviet crimes, master race belivers – are just evil people to me.

          Many Jews are just in denial about the threat of Islam, just as so many Gentiles are. Very few of these people want to see anyone destroyed at the hands of Muslims–they just don’t want to think that Muslims are a threat.

          As for the idea that the “Jew religion” is Islam, what claptrap. You *do* know that Jesus is a Jew?

      I’ve seen the claim before that a single Jewish American controls Muslim immigration into Sweden.

      She’s a fool, no doubt, but this claim simply does not hold up.

      That Spectre is one weird-looking and crazily smug bird. Israel does not need her as a poster girl.

      A paragraph that caught my attention was:
      “Shari Tingman, Acting Group Chief and Preliminary Investigation Leader at Stockholm Police’s Democracy and Hate Crime Group, said police need to do more to understand Jewish culture. Tingman stated: “If the police department cannot understand the culture, how should we be able to work with what is happening out there?””

      “…need to do more to understand Jewish culture”??? Haven’t Jews already proven themselves to be generally well-approved, well-ingrained, and contributing members of human society? What is there to “understand”? The use of such a phrase implies that Jews are not just physically but psychologically and socially being put “on the defensive”. Tingman seems to be choosing to distract from the flame-throwing elephant in the room.

        Both Barbara Spectre and her husband, Rabbi Philip Spectre (who was Rabbi of the Great Synagogue in Stockholm for about seven years until 2005) got their B.A.’s from COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. She joined him in Sweden in 1999. In her Wikipedia entry I see a book that looks interesting:
        “Educating Jewish Leaders in a Pan-European Perspective”, International Handbook of Jewish Education, Springer, 2011

    In the 1940s in France and Germany some Jews hid their identity, or they would be killed. Sometimes that didn’t work, as Germans and French people turned them in to the Nazis.

    Where can Jews go? Israel? Sure, but Europe hates Israel too.

      N.M.H. I predict Israel could make expensive any attempt on its existence. I doubt rational people would find the effort worth the price. But who says Iran is run by rational people, which has been the foundation since 1945 for “peace” under Mutual Assured Destruction. Consider reading Herman Kahn’s book On Thermonuclear War.

    As has been reported before, Swedes are more concerned with climate change than a change in societal values.

    • Frank Anderson says

      Dec 6, 2019 at 11:45 am

      G.L. Is it necessary to have values in order to change them?
