Terror Conference Follow-Up
Aussie Dave | Sep 12, 2004 | 5 comments
After emailing the Swedish government about the terror conference, I have yet to receive any kind of reply (even of the automated variety). Has anyone else who emailed them received a response?
I would like to thank all of those bloggers who publicized the existence of the conference, and the Swedish government’s role. These include Arthur (who is constantly helping spread the word), Martin, the Kommentariat and Corvvs.
I have to admit to some disappointment with other so-called pro-Israel bloggers who did not see it fit to give the conference, or the contact details, any kind of mention (or did finally mention it days later). These include some high-profile bloggers, whom I emailed more than once. Activism is all about being active, not apathetic.
In the meantime, if you have not yet contacted the Swedish goverment, click here.

Now now Dave, take a chill pill. Not everybody needs to write the same stuff.
I actually wrote them in their own language, Swedish. Cause I can do that
(yeah I know, I’m a show off, lol).
Excellent!
Please let me know if you get a reply.
By the way, my disappointment was more reserved for the big name pro-Israel bloggers who are frequently involved in activism.
yeah I figured that part out for myself
No way that I wasn’t going to post on something like that, especially seeing as how few people were – even if that meant just redirecting my readership elsewhere (e.g. hither and to EGO).
I have received no response from any members of the Swedish government. I have in the past written snail-mail letters to government officials (domestic and foreign) and received responses – I would have preferred snail mail if the conference hadn’t been going on right as we wrote, and perhaps that would have gotten a response.
At any rate, thank you for the acknowledgment, and for your watchfulness. You do a service to the blogosphere.
Hi,
I’m late to the game, but my blog, among other things, is about left-wing antisemitism, and I’ve made note of it:

Thanks for catching this — it’s really important. I’ll be checking in here regularly.
Be well.
