Sweden - Mayor of Malmo: Zionism is racism
Anotherantisemitic Swedish/Scandinavian politician denies the Jews their obvious right to determine their own lives. In an interview, ironicallyabout stamping out antisemtism in Malmö, Sweden,Mayor of Malmö, Ilmar Reepalu, blames the collective Jew, Israel, for recentattacks against Jews in Malmö, "due to the conflict in Gaza last year spilled over to Malmo."
But Reepalu goes further to elucidate his true views on Israel, which basically follows the thinking in the Islamic world, that Jews are not allowed a national movement of their own. For him, Zionism equals racism. But he wouldn't ever dream labeling the Palestinian movement as racist, for not wanting a single Jew to remain on "Arab land", as well as the Arab/Muslim states that support their position.
From the interview:
Skånsen.se: "Have you considered to say in public, that Malmö does not accept antisemitism. Or is it controversial?
Ilmar Reepalu: We don´t accept Zionism or antisemitism. They are extremists, which want to set themselves over other groups and believe they are worth less."
