EJC Head Calls Sweden "Center for Anti-Semitism"



PM Reinfeldt to Jews:
 Sorry, we're unavailable
to discuss Anti-Semitism
in Sweden

A report from Brussels quotes European Jewish Community head Dr. Moshe Kantor slamming Sweden for refusing to participate in talks on rising European anti-Semitism. Not only is Sweden the only country in Europe to shun these discussions, but the Swedish government also refuses to reply to the EJC despite numerous attempts by the EJC to talk to Swedish leadership.
On a related tack, the Jerusalem Post notes that retired judge Gabriel Bach, prosecutor at the Eichmann trial, also spoke at the EU Holocaust Commemoration. Judge Bach quoted the unrepentant Eichmann as saying that the creation of the State of Israel showed that the Nazis failed to deal harshly enough with Jews.

From today's JPost:

European Parliament in Brussels commemorates Holocaust; Kantor tells 'Post' that level of anti-Semitism in Malmo "unthinkable."

 

Unapologetic Eichmann: If only we had killed
more Jews, Israel wouldn't exist

BRUSSELS – Sweden has become “a center of anti-Semitism,” the president of the European Jewish Congress, Dr. Moshe Kantor, told the JPost Tuesday night, ahead of a ceremony at the European Parliament in Brussels to commemorate the Holocaust.

“Sweden, previously a calm country where there was no anti-Semitic problem just a few years ago, is a center of anti-Semitism,” Kantor said. He added that it was “unthinkable that in the 21st century Jews need to move from the city of Malmo to Stockholm and elsewhere.”
