Swedish gov’s obsession with Israel is the new anti-semitism | sethfrantzman

Sweden’s foreign minister Margot Wallström welcomed the latest UNESCO resolution condemning Israel’s actions in Jerusalem and describing Israel as occupying Jerusalem. More than that, Sweden was a driver behind the UNESCO resolution, and tried to encourage other EU states to support it and condemn Israel. In a statement released by the government Sweden noted: “In the negotiations, Sweden has consistently strived for EU unity on this resolution, and was ready to make concessions to uphold that unity,” the statement continued. “However, since the EU unfortunately has not been able to stay united, and since Sweden believes the current text is acceptable, Sweden has voted in favour.” It was the only EU state to vote in favor.
