Sweden, a country dealing with serious issues with its growing and ever more restive Muslim population, is not known as a nation especially friendly to Israel. Diplomatically, relations between the two countries are strained. Sweden has more NGOs devoted to the deligitimization of Israel than any other European country. It has a foreign minister who is openly hostile to Israel.
In addition, Sweden's small Jewish population is decreasing due to emigration. Swedn's Jews are subject to increasing harassment from the Mulsim immigrants, especially in places like Malmo, a city that received Jewish refugees from Denmark when the Danes were occupied by Germany in WW II.
So it is encouraging when we can report an event this month in Stockholm when supporters of Israel held an event. It was covered by our Swedish colleagues, Kronans Martell and Ullis News and is posted below. It features a speech about anti-Semitism, Israel and Zionism by Israeli lawyer and activist, Yifa Segal. The event was sponsored by the Zionist Organization of Sweden.
