(Jewish Group) Anti-Semitic hate crimes in Sweden rise by 53% to all-time record high

[Behind the Aegis]

The number of anti-Semitic hate crimes recorded in Sweden rose to a record high last year, jumping 53 percent over the 2016 figures, government statistics show.

The 2018 report, which the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention published Thursday, listed 280 anti-Semitic hate crimes that year compared to 182 in 2016. The latest numbers are the highest on record since at least 2006, when the Council began collecting aggregated data.

Overall, the number of hate crimes with a racist or xenophobic motive rose by 69 percent over 2016 in Sweden to 4,865 cases last year, the report stated.

The council decided not to publish hate crime figures for 2017 without explaining the decision. In one attack from 2017, the Jewish assembly synagogue in Gothenburg was firebombed by approximately 10 men protesting Israel’s policies.

1. Horrific culture shift... unless it's a very small group of perps committing many of these crimes.

We need to develop a strong, unified strategic response, IMO.

My wish: an alliance of the greatest sports heroes from each country doing PSAs about how unheroic and unmanly terrorist acts are, that they’re the stuff of childhood bullies.

3. I don't think they care

Let’s face it; the crimes against Jews are being committed (overwhelmingly) by Islamists who Imported their hate to Europe with them. The crimes are covered up because they would (ironically) help the right wing nationalist groups.

Sports stars aren’t going to do anything.

You need de-Islamists actions akin to de-Nazification efforts. You have to ban and censor radical Islamic teachers and books, disband radical mosques, and imprison those who teach hate, just like we did to the Nazis after the war.

That’s never going to happen, for some good (and bad) reasons.

Europe is lost to us Jews for a generation.

Not the first time.

4. Bleak. I hope that's not what we're in for. I am hoping for world leaders to stand up.
