October 8

 

Yesterday marked the anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack of October 7.

As I wrote at the time, it was Palestinian and far-left groups that intended to hijack the day for their own agenda—and that is exactly what happened.

Here in Sweden, England, the Netherlands, the USA, etc.

Yesterday, the news coverage from Swedish public service was extremely biased. There was talk of the ensuing war, of all the children in Gaza, and so on. While this is an important issue to highlight, it could have been done on another day.

The leader of the Social Democrats also took to social media yesterday—not to express solidarity with the victims, but to focus on Gaza. She wrote about the war and the far-right nature of the Israeli government. Not a word about the terror killings—that horrific event. One might wonder why!?

I haven't pored over every single platform, but it looks like that not many politicians have written ; however, our Prime Minister—our conservative Prime Minister, who doesn't have many days left in office after losing the election—did write something.

I quote:

Today marks three years since Hamas’s horrific terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.

It was an attack on ordinary Israeli civilians—families, women, children, and young people who were dancing. Today, we honor the memory of those who were killed.

Since then, Jewish people have also been forced to live with rising antisemitism. Jews in Sweden report feeling unsafe in their own country. It is truly appalling.

There is no place for antisemitism in Sweden. We accept no excuses and no relativism.

People should be able to wear the Star of David, visit the synagogue, and send their children to Jewish schools with pride.

We stand with Sweden’s Jewish community, and we will continue to do so.

Amen to this!
