Scandinavia: No one bid anti-Semitism farewell

Denmark, Norway, Sweden have differing attitudes toward Jews during Second World War; official responsible for tackling anti-Semitism.

A curious question for the amateur historian: Why did the countries of Scandinavia, a democratic region whose people share close ethnic and cultural ties, have such conflicting attitudes toward the Jews during World War II? While Denmark later earned a place card at the table of the “Righteous Among Nations” for saving nearly all its Jews, Sweden prioritized its interests over righteousness, upholding strict immigration policies that prevented Jews from readily entering the country as they sought to escape Nazi terror.
Meanwhile, Norway witnessed a moral lapse among its people and its police, as Norwegian citizens actively helped the Nazi occupiers to gather and to deport their Jews.
One would expect to find greater affinity among the attitudes of Scandinavia’s people.
And indeed, regardless of what the answer to this question might be, that is precisely what we are witnessing today as anti- Semitic and anti-Zionist sentiments spread across the region.
Two separate trends are at play. First, for quite some time, Scandinavia has witnessed anti-Semitic sentiment emanating from its political Left, which frequently voices anti- Zionist views and questions Israel’s right to exist. This is nothing new for Europe, as our researchers have dated this trend back to the early 1960s.
Second, anti-Semitic sentiment has been widely observed among specific groups of Muslims residing in Europe and Scandinavia, which is mixed with, or hidden by anti-Zionism.
These two trends are a dangerous mix for Scandinavian Jews – a veritable Molotov cocktail that threatens their well-being and their livelihood, and presents a threat to greater European tolerance.
Recently, we witnessed yet another incident of anti-Semitism in Scandinavia – now in Swedish politics, and just a year since the last such controversy.
Few have forgotten the scandals surrounding former Malmo mayor Ilmar Reepalu, a member of the Social Democrats party. His anti-Semitic diatribes were an annual occurrence before his resignation this spring.
His repertoire came to include denials of hostile attacks against Malmo Jews, calls for local Jews to leave for Israel, and demands for the local Jewish community to renounce Israel’s actions in Gaza. These statements resulted in only brief public outcries.
And now today, Sweden is once again embroiled in an anti- Semitism scandal.
The latest scandal ensued after Omar Mustafa, the chairman of the Islamic Association in Sweden, was elected to the governing board of the Social Democrat party – the country’s largest party and the leader of the opposition. As the media accused him and his association of anti-Semitism, misogyny and homophobia, he was forced to resign.
Interestingly, though, it wasn’t his anti-Semitism that lost him his seat, pundits say.
Rather, it seems it took his backward views on homosexuality and women’s rights to do the trick.
According to the media, during Mustafa’s tenure with the Islamic association, he invited two anti-Semites, Salah Sultan and Ragheb al-Serjany, to speak at a Stockholm conference.
While the first told a pro-Palestinian television channel that Jews regularly kill Christians and use their blood for unleavened bread during Passover, the second accused Jews of controlling all international media.
Instead of fessing up to his misguided beliefs, apologizing and hoping the public’s short-term memory would live up to its reputation, Mustafa said he would still invite the men to speak if he had to do it all over again. He also lambasted his critics, declaring that they are “looking to hand down a life sentence of anti-Semitism to anyone who utters a word of criticism against the state of Israel.”
Asinine, but this statement demonstrates a failure to discern between legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies and a hatred of Jews.
Sparking further controversy, Mustafa has also expressed fierce anti-Israel rhetoric. At the time of the Israeli-led operation in Gaza in 2011, he advocated a Swedish military attack against Israel, writing on his Twitter page: “Send Swedish JAS (fighter) planes against Israel now!” As such radical views are not broadly supported within the Social Democrats, the question must be asked as to why the party turned a blind eye to Mustafa’s misguided views. Such statements should have been a serious cause for concern.
However, as Lisa Abramowicz, the secretary-general of the Swedish-Israeli Information Center, told The Jerusalem Post, his anti-Semitism did not suffice to have him removed from the governing board. Rather, it was most probably his misogyny and homophobia.
After Mustafa’s forcible resignation, several influential politicians spoke out in support of his cause.
Peter Weiderud, a fellow party member who heads the Christian Association of Social Democrats, declared that Mustafa was forced to resign for being a Muslim. Moreover, he said, Mustafa should have been allowed to remain at the helm of the board because the Islamic Association in Sweden has not “come as far as we have in its political agenda or maturity.”
In short, according to Weiderud, Sweden must readily accept views that are less progressive if they are voiced by politicians hailing from “less politically mature” organizations.
Thus, in a desperate attempt to appear progressive and as having an inclusive, multicultural agenda, the Social Democrats have insulted both Swedish Muslims and Swedish Jews.
In short, because he is a Muslim, Mustafa should be expected to have less progressive views and Swedes should start to get used to them because, like it or not, they will soon feature more frequently in the public arena.
Even more disconcerting is the fact that Mustafa is not the only elected official affiliated with the Islamic Association in Sweden. Former chairman Abdirizak Waberi is now a member of parliament representing the Swedish ruling party, the Moderates. But somehow, despite his fiercely misogynist views and his dream to live in a country ruled by Sharia law, he has escaped the public’s attention.
What we are witnessing today in Sweden is worrying, but even more so in the broader Scandinavian context. Journalists have for years reported on the increasingly threatening situation for Jews across the region. In Sweden, the government has proved unable to control anti-Zionist rallies, resulting in violence against Jews.
In Norway, the media is marked by an anti-Israeli climate, occasionally spilling over at times into feelings of hatred toward Jews. And in Denmark, the Copenhagen municipality refused to let a Zionist organization partake in an international food festival, claiming the Israeli flag was provocative.
Through these actions, we are seeing how Scandinavian governments themselves are partially to blame for the increasing anti-Semitism across the region. According to Liam Hore of The Tower monthly magazine, these governments “encourage radicalism and irrationality through their foreign and domestic policies, and fail to address anti-Jewish hate crimes when they occur.”
Scandinavia’s vibrant civil society needs to address the growing anti-Semitism in the region now. We must point out injustices exactly when they occur and we must do so without paying mind to the type of political correctness that benefits one community at the expense of another.
When a member of the government openly decries the Jewish people and the state of Israel in the most vulgar terms, Jewish commentators should not be the only voices raised against such anti-Semitism.
Although the greatest responsibility to tackle this issue lies with our officials, they too frequently neglect their obligations, thus creating an increasingly hostile environment – yes, for Jews, but more so for Europe’s hard-won tradition of tolerance.

More and more people are seeing the effects of Israels 45-year old occupation of the Palestinians, and the everincreasing expansion of settlements.
The world is informed.

The massacres in Beirut were carried-out by Christian Arabs.
Is there no way you can link the 80,000+ deaths during the Syrian Civil War to Jews?
I'm sure if you put in a little bit of effort you'll come up with a reason.

The logistics, gate guarding and lights were courtecy of IDF.
Look up the Kahan-report on Sharon.
And all those who experienced IDF/SLA during 18 years in South Lebanon got an eyeopener, firsthand to the brutality and torture at Khiam.

Blond little angels infected by dark forces.
In Sweden it's OK to be an ardent anti Semite as long as you're not Islamophobic, Homophobic or discriminate against women.
The Swedish Socialistic Party // die Deutsche National Sozialistische Partei. Two parties full with blond but extremely dark people.

the problem with the Scandinavian countries is that in spite of what everybody thinks they are not at all democratic but very authoritarian ,over controlled, paternalist society ( in Sweden and Norway you have to drive 50-60 km to get a bottle of wine in special shops) they have a façade of multiculturalism and tolerance but at the end they are exactly the opposite all Muslims and immigrants live in ghettos where no Dane or swede dare put his feet's in . in fact they hate foreigners but behave as oh! so nice only to please world opinion and the UN organisations . politicians in Scandinavia have betrayed their own people and are transforming their cities and villages to 3. world slums . when you get up in a bus in Copenhagen city you feel as you are in Africa or Pakistan and in some areas it looks like Kabul with thousands of black dressed women women waring hizabwaa waring hizab or tshador

One of the signs of the moral and material health of a country is the way it treats its Jews.
In 17-th century, king Henry V expelled Jews from England. Gradually, starvation, state of despair and disrepair befell on the Albion, and that despite the newly acquired colonies. It took 200 years and a dose of a common sense for Oliver Cromwell to invite Jews back, and, what a coincidence, Technological Revolution took place.
Those coincidences...

Err...no. There were no Jews in 17th Century England for King Henry V to expel - they all left under King Edward I's Edict of Expulsion in 1290.

When Jews living in Europe are the only ones who genuinely support democracy and human rights, then "the writing is on the wall" as it says in the Book of Daniel. We've seen this movie before.
Arguably, Europe deserves to be ruled by sharia law even more than Arab countries. Similar to European complicity and acquiescent submission to the Nazis, most Europeans are quite acquiescent and complicit to that fate.

In 1940, when Nazis occupied Denmark, their first order, as usually, was for Jews to wear yellow star. Danish king Christian XIII was outraged :''They are my subjects. We will all wear yellow stars ! I will be the first one !"
Today Israeli flag "is too provocative".
This is the case when the worse is the better : they sooner come to Israel.

Anti-Semitism is at the very base of much of European Christianity. It takes American Evangelism to rid the Europeans of this scourge.6

Yet in Norway, because of the atheistic Left, agitators that are Antijewish tend to also be Antichristian. These atheist fanatics align themselves with Muslim fanatics, that are also Antichristian and Antijewish. The irony is, these same Muslims seek to kill atheists too. The shortterm gain by the Left has longterm backfire. Also, in WW2, those Norwegians that betrayed Jews also betrayed all Norwegians. They were with Quisling who collaborated with Nazis to kill the young Norwegian democracy. After the war, Norwegians executed Quisling as a traitor. My dads family was with the Homefront against the Nazis. My grandfather (who taught German in school) saved the lives of one Jewish family from the Nazis, by assuring the officers, the familys last name is a “Swedish name”.
While it is disgusting that Norwegians exist who betray fellow Norwegians, then and now, it doesnt feel like they represent Norwegians. May those who harm Jews today meet the same fate as Quisling.

Who has shaken Norway most recently was Anders B Breivik.
He did not come from the "atheistic left", on the contrary.
