A few days ago, Israel lost to Sweden in a scheduled match of the Davis Cup. The match took place in the city of Malmö in Sweden, set to become the first Scandinavian city with a Muslim majority within a decade or two. I am very much suprised of the Swedish authorities, that in fear of the immigrants violence, had decided to hold the match with no audience at all behind closed doors. The point is not if one supports Israel in the last conflict or in general, or not. The point is different!. For example: I believe that there are many sweds who are against the british presence in Iraq, and many sweds that are against the chinese repression of Tibet, and so on. However, if those countries were to play in Sweden, the tennis court will not be empty of audience in fear of the protestors violence. Somehow, it is only protest of muslim populations in Europe, which turn out to be violent. The practical meaning of the Swedish authorities' decision is allowing these people to make sweden look like the countries they came from, and not like a western advanced european society. I am very sad that pictures coming from sweden, an old friend of Israel, looked exactly like pictures that one would expect to see coming from Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and so on. Some european countries, like Switzerland, Germany, and France, would have never let such a thing happen. From my very good ackquintance with the Swiss I can assure you that these people, in such case, will find themselves on the next plane back home, since they have proven that this is the only place where they belong. But the scandinavian (and the dutch), they are so tolerant, that they even tolerate intolerance. The pattern is the same: in 2005, Israel withdraw all settlements from Gaza. As "thank you", we had an islamic revolution and a rain of rockets in return. The swedish accepted immigrants from muslim countries, and this is the "thank you" they get. These immigrants don't feel anymore like guests. No sense of gratitude what so ever. they are now the landlords. To my view, this event, rarely mentioned in the world media, can be regarded as another milestone in the process of the islamization of Europe. http://www.euronews.net/en/article/07/03/2009/anti-israeli-protests-mar-swedish-davis-cup-match/
Your statement is invalid. You are assuming, as they Swedish government did what it did based on assumptions. Peace,
they can protest as much as they want, AS LONG THEY DON'T HURT ANYTHING - but they did. they destroyed the police cars, use violent, and wave the Hizboalla, Hamas, World Jihad (11\9) and other Terror organizations. they know that the next game is in Israel, right?
I dont think europe will support israel anymore as before, after what it has done in Gaza. Also sweden is free country people can demonstrate if they want! We dont shoot our demonstrators like you do in israel!
Our winning is the best answer for this disgusting behavior. All the anti-Israelis and anti-Semitics can kiss my ass and I don't pee to their direction
Israel is even more free than Europe - Israel had just 4 anti LGTB attacks, and Holland, the Gay's capital had over 21 anti LGTB attacks! we don't shoot our demonstrators. in Netzrat, half Arab half Jewish city in northern Israel, there were some anti Israel protests with Hizbolah flags - in the past 4 months. Just few days ago, Gilad Shalit's family and 4000 Israelis protest against the Prime minister. More examples? in 2008 we had huge protest (+100,000 people!) against the Israeli Education minister, in the Technion College in Haifa we had tons of Arab protests, and unlike what the European people think - non of the Gaza operation targets was against people, only against Hamas' tunnels and weapon stocks. Israel freedom&democracy rank is the 3rd after Canada (1st) and Iceland (2nd), oh, and another thing - in my area, we have 30 temples, 1 church and 2 mosques. the Arab destroyed 2 temples, and the church, but the Jews never, but never hit \ destroyed the mosques. Check things before you just post your antisemitic thoughts!
hmmm... So basically you say that its fine with you, that those people (the "demonstrators"), which you "do not shoot", will tell you what kind of sporting events are allowed in Sweden and what not? What is the next step? They will tell the women what to wear? and if not, they will demonstrate? After the Israeli team went back to Israel, Harel Levi (one of the tennis players) said on TV that a Swedish player from the Swedish team told him that this week was the first time that he felt ashamed to be Swedish. Europe is not supporting Israel at all, except for Germany.
israel did and doing maybe the biggest crime of the decades. Maybe they destroyed police cars, but israel destroyed whole country, whole city.. they destroyed GAZA I hope Europe will rethink about israel
I don't think you know, but Gaza is still under the control of Israel, and if Israel decide to destroy Hamas weapon stocks, Israel will do it! Where do you (Ziya) live? Jordan? Egypt? West Europe? let's say you live in Italy. how would you feel if Turkey start shooting rockets all over the place? why? because they want your land! The Europeans live in a bubble. that bubble will blow up very very soon. oh, and check up this stats: only 4.12% (95.88% did have some connection to Hamas) of the people who died in Gaza weren't related to Hamas, most of them are reporters, but only about 2% of the people who died in Israel were related to IDF (Israeli army)! that says 98% un-war related people in Israel! I hope some day, the Europeans will understand that you need to fight the terror, what the Americans already understand.
yes sure.. childs have connections with Hamas, so that is why they have been killed .. good reason to kill kids..and what about those who was injured, who lost their homes, everything they had ..you call destroying police cars terrorizing, but why dont call ITF terrorizing too ?
Yes. The genocide in darfour or in former yugoslavia or ruwanda? that's nothing to compare with the israeli "biggest crime" of the decade: trying to reassure safe and normal lives to civilians under fundamentalist bombardment. I believe you can not understand it but I will nevertheless try: Those who destroyed gaza, are those idiots who were firing rockets on the southern cities of Israel for 8 years.
