Swedes Continue To Bear Their Anti-Israel Fangs

Israel’s ambassador in Stockholm has drawn Swedish ire.

Perhaps the Swedes appreciate the released terrorists' sex drive?

The Israeli ambassador in Stockholm, Isaac Bachman, speaking to Swedish government radio Tuesday, compared Israel’s release of 26 Palestinian prisoners to releasing right-wing extremist Anders Breivik, who was responsible for the massacres on the Norwegian island of Utoya in 2011.

The ambassador’s remarks have caused a storm in Sweden, and have garnered harsh criticism from the families of Breivik’s victims.

“The horrors that [the Palestinian prisoners] did, to put it in a Scandinavian understanding, it’s like what happened in Norway with Breivik,” said Bachman, explaining that Israel has not received enough credit from the international community for releasing the prisoners.

“Imagine if Breivik was released as a gesture of some sort,” he added, explaining that Israel was not getting enough credit for agreeing to the release. “Research has shown that these people will return to crime. It’s not easy to get public support for releasing these people.”

According to the Swedish English-language news website TheLocal.se, both survivors of Breivik’s massacre and family members of the victims have expressed outrage over the Israeli ambassador’s comments.

“I think it is ridiculous to compare this with a mass murderer from Norway,” Trond Blattmann, whose son Torjusdatter was killed when Breivik opened fire on Utøya, told The Local. “There’s no similarity at all. This is a ridiculous way to talk.”

Bjørn Ihler, who survived the massacre by hiding from Breivik, also said that the comparison “does not make sense.”

“Breivik was a solo terrorist whose actions were based purely on an unreal situation. The situation in the Middle East is very different. There is a real fight for Palestinian freedom going on,” said Ihler.

In July 2011, Breivik traveled to the Norwegian Island of Utoya, near Oslo, to an event being held at a Workers’ Youth League summer camp. Breivik wandered about the island before perpetrating the massacre that claimed the lives of 77 young boys and girls. It took a whole hour for police to arrive on the scene and arrest him.

In addition to the shooting on Utoya, Breivik rigged a car bomb next to government offices in Oslo. Eight people were killed in the blast. In August 2012, Breivik was convicted and sentenced to 21 years in jail — the maximum punishment for murder according to Norwegian law.

Seems like an ok comparison to me. Although Breivik could only dream about murdering the amount of people the released palestinian terrorists have.

These days, it seems more and more like the last good thing to come out of Sweden was the meatball. Well, besides Peter Tejler’s shoes.

  1. Did you mean “carry their antisemitism” (bear), “show their antisemitism” (bare), or were you trying to make a pun about large, sometimes dangerous furry animals that live (and do other things) in the woods?

  2. I love puns, even bad ones. I’d rather have this be nine people’s favorite blog than 100 people’s ninth favorite blog.

    1. A man entered a pun contest, and submitted ten entries hoping that at least one would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did..

  3. So what’s wrong for a Norse is right for an Arab? This is Nazism (albeit inverted).

    And considering that their king recently wore a scarf promoting the destruction of Israel, isn’t it the time to bomb Sweden and execute their impotent “monarch”?

    BTW, Breivik really deserves being released. He defended his homeland from invaders. Isn’t it something that every citizen should do?

  4. Pity Israel can’t release these murderers directly into the home neighborhoods of these European diplomats, so they can meet their good friends up close & personal..

  5. They shouldn’t send all of the released “prisoners” to Sweden. I think Israel should keep the arms and legs.
