Anti-Semitism in Malmo Reaches New, Horrific Depths
Anti-Semitism in Malmo Reaches New, Horrific Depths
Latest attacks and threats reminiscent of Nazi Germany
March 16, 2105
The Simon Wiesenthal Center expressed its deep alarm and
disgust over two new manifestations of anti-Semitism in Malmo.
“In 2010, the Simon Wiesenthal Center slapped a travel
advisory on Sweden’s third 
largest city, Malmo, for failing to act against
serial harassment of the city’s Rabbi and other Jews and Jewish institutions.
Virtually nothing has changed since then,” lamented Rabbi Abraham Cooper,
associate dean of the leading Jewish Human Rights organization. “If anything,
things may be getting worse. Now the world is witness to new, insidious acts of
Jew-hatred, including harassment of Jewish citizens by Muslim youth as they try
to bury their loved ones in the Jewish cemetery; and today, in an act
reminiscent of Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda, a group of anti-Israeli
demonstrators, wearing protective clothing and masks in order to avoid being
infected by Zionist bacteria and “Isolera” viruses, entered some stores in the
city to confiscate Israeli products, declaring them fruits of illegal
occupation of Palestine and as such must be boycotted or destroyed.

“Such outrageous actions are reminiscent of Nazi racist
anti-Jewish propaganda and boycotts in the 1930s. We fear that such actions will only escalate
unless and until decent Swedes of all political persuasions rise up and
declare, enough is enough! These hateful provocations aren’t designed to help a
single Palestinian, only to demonize and isolate Israel and Sweden’s
Jews."
