Israel ‘bans’ Swedish foreign minister – POLITICO


Jerusalem slammed the door on Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström Wednesday, saying she would no longer be welcome in Israel following her criticism of how the country handles Palestinian knife attackers.


“Israel is closing its gates to official visits from Sweden,” said Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely, according to the Times of Israel. “At the clearest level, the State of Israel is sending a very stark message to Sweden that says that [when] you encourage terror [in Israel], you encourage Islamic State to act in all parts of Europe: in Brussels, in Paris.”

Good.

Her statements were absurd.

I wonder how the Swedish minister intends to use "regular diplomatic channels" and just which one's will she use if she expects answer?

It seems European leftists - and now many American leftists as well - sympathize with radical Islamic fanatics, even when it means innocent women are sexually assaulted, and people are injured or killed. It's leftists' favorite religious group apparently, to be protected at all costs.

Agreed. Seems leftist hate Jews, Israel, USA, and Christianity but support Muslim terrorist.

Good. Nobody should have sympathies or ties with terrorist supporters.

It is high time someone speaks out against Israel's actions as well, people have been looking the other way way too long because of the Holocaust. People who think the Middle East conflict is good vs bad are naive. Israel is a rogue state with a radical government, and police/military committing crimes. They are no better than the Palestinian nuts on the other side (who however are just a fraction of Palestinians), and their mutual misconduct keeps the conflict going. The EU is currently investigating Poland because of its recent statements and actions, and those are nothing compared to Israel's. Israel would not meet European norms, either.

Israel is just being pro active, as they realize that at some point Sweden will be taken over by Islam.
