Swedish Ambassador to Israel: ‘There’s a Tendency in Israel to Demonize Sweden’

Who knew the Swedes had such a sense of humor?

Sweden’s ambassador to Israel on Tuesday claimed there was a tendency in Israel to “demonize” his country and in particular foreign minister Margot Wallstrom.

In an interview with i24news, the ambassador, Magnus Hellgren, also insisted he doesn’t see the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement as anti-Semitic.

Relations between Israel and Sweden have been tense in recent years. Wallstrom in particular has come under fire for her harsh anti-Israel comments.

That sound is someone playing the world’s smallest violin nyckelharpa.
