The London Telegraph is carrying a story on what is an on-going outrage in the southern Swedish city of Malmo. The city's long resident Jewish community, some of whom are Holocaust survivors, are leaving the city in droves. Why?

It is because of continuous hostility, harassment and hate directed at them from many of the city's more recent Muslim immigrants, who now make up some one-fifth of the population. Jewish people have been attacked, synagogues have been attacked and cemetries desecrated. How could this be happening in 21st century Europe-especially Sweden?

I have been writing sometime about the outrages committed by certain members of the Muslim immigrant community of Malmo- violent protests and demonstrations, crime and the inability/unwillingness of the city's mayor, Ilmar Reepalu, to confront it. Reepalu is outwardly unsympathetic to Malmo's Jewish community. While he condemns anti-Semitism, he condemns Israel and Zionism in the same breath.

Now he says in the above article that if the city's Jews want to emigrate to Israel, that is not (the city's) concern.

What a disgrace.

During the German occupation of Denmark, that country succeeded in saving most of their Jews from the Nazis by smuggling them to southern Sweden. Denmark stood in contrast to other countries under German occupation who cooperated with the Germans in rounding up their Jews and handing them over to the occupiers. Now places like Malmo are cooperating with the new occupiers, the new Nazis, radical Islamists who are taking over European cities and bending them to their will. How sickening that mayors like Reepalu take the position that if the new occupiers don't like Jews then screw the Jews.
