Sweden upsets Israel - big time

[anonymous-user]

Sweden officially reconizes the Palestinian state, Israel recalls their Ambassador.

Wonder how this one will play out.

[Troubleatmill]

Expect more of the same.

Bunch of halfwits.

The Swedes or the Israelis

The ones in charge in Sweden, I don't know enough about Israel to pass judgement

Up there with the South Africans demanding that goods marked as made in Israel but made in the occupied territories be marked as from the occuppied territories, that sent them off on one.

If they keep that rule going they probably won't have any Ambassadors left by 2015...

[Slaav]

Oh ok, I disagree with what you are doing! I withdraw my grace and favour Ambassador.... That'l learn yer'!

Or here is a thought..... A well known tolerant country like Sweden shouldn't be alienated?


Ah, no! F**k 'em.

The Israeli foreign minister said that Sweden must understand that the situation in middle East is slightly more complex than a piece of Ikea furniture

Lots of countries recognise Palestine and Israel has friendly relations with many of them. So why make a song and dance over Sweden?

Dunno really. I guess they're quite a nice country, all things considered. Diplomatically speaking they do carry a bit of clout as well.

I personally think that a Palestinian state is the way to go; I'm quickly running out of sympathy for Israel.

How long before IS/ISIS/ISIL is running Palestine?

Be gone or justify your stance....... Trawl through the massive thread to see why Israel can do no wrong!

BTW, Hamas (eg) are scum and terrorists. Let us not forget that there is wrong on both sides?

Anyway, the question is should there be peace? Closely followed by 'can there be peace?'

Reported in news here, so I should think it is true. We need more dry sarcasm and humour in politics

[supersingle]

I wonder if Palestinians living in Sweden recognise the Swedish state?

What's stopping them running Palestine right now exactly?

They're Arabs, so they couldn't run a bath...or a Ba'ath.

[SpamDisco]

Is the UK moving in the same direction?
