Swedish European lawmakers object to pro-Israel speaker – Saskia Pantell, director of Sweden’s Zionist Federation, should be kept out of European Parliament discussion, MEPs write | The Times of Israel

Fearing one-sided criticism of Sweden, European Parliament lawmakers from that country objected to the appearance of a Zionist compatriot at a panel debate about Israel.
Bodil Valero and Marita Ulvskog of the Greens and Social Democrat blocs, respectively, expressed their objection to Wednesday’s appearance in Brussels of Saskia Pantell, director of Sweden’s Zionist Federation, in a letter they sent Monday to European Parliament President Martin Schulz.
