quotes a
New York Times story (from behind its paywall), the topic is anti-Semitism in Sweden. Is anyone
except the NYT surprised at these numbers?
Historically, anti-Semitism in Sweden could mainly be attributed to right-wing extremists. While this problem persists, a study from 2013 showed that 51 percent of anti-Semitic incidents in Sweden were attributed to Muslim extremists. Only 5 percent were carried out by right-wing extremists; 25 percent were perpetrated by left-wing extremists.
Swedish politicians have no problem condemning anti-Semitism carried out by right-wingers. . . . There is, however, tremendous hesitation to speak out against hate crimes committed by members of another minority group in a country that prides itself on welcoming minorities and immigrants. In 2015, Sweden was second only to Germany in the number of Syrian refugees it welcomed.
I wonder how you'd render these long-ago Johnny Rivers
lyrics in Arabic or Swedish?
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin.
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in."
If they didn't know, they were self-deluded.
