"SNIP......
Pro-Palestinian Arab demonstrators on Saturday night threw a firebomb at a synagogue in Gothenburg, Sweden, local media reported.
According to the report, about 20 Muslim protesters who were demonstrating against U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel are responsible for the attack.
The attack took place as Jewish students were holding a party inside the synagogue. A firefighter who was called to the scene told a Swedish news site that a fire had broken out between parked vehicles in a car park outside the synagogue.
There were no reports of any injuries.

(25,586 posts)A certain sort of leftist uses political excuses as a screen for plain old Jew-hate. It's as predictable as rain, and used to pop up all too often on DU back in the ancient days. Luckily that filth has all been kicked aside.

(13,485 posts)An excuse for other more base motives... makes sense, and Trump offers opportunity and feeds the fire.

(118,844 posts)Muslim refugees. Now Trump can use Muslim crimes in retaliation for the move to Jerusalem to stoke Muslim hate in Europe because who would not hate anyone who would firebomb a synagogue full of children. Both Putin and Trump would have been well aware of the fallout. They both have geopolitical experts.

(6,261 posts)Of course not!
The real racists are the ones who apparently think Muslims are violent animals who can't be expected to control themselves.

(54,014 posts)But, wait...there will be those who blame everyone but those who actually throw the bombs. Worse yet, people will be screeching about things not "being anti-Semitic" and things "being Islamophobic" in order to side-step (using "whataboutism' and "strawman" arguments) attacks on Jews.

(25,586 posts)What the shit does a Swedish synagogue have to do with Trump's idiot foreign policy decisions? YOU may wish to join this filth in in justifying anti-Semitism with shopworn excuses about Israel this and Israel that, but I choose not to do so.
Firebombing synagogues in Europe is a pastime far older than Mr. Trump.

(25,586 posts)Trump's policies are a figleaf for engaging in one of Europe's favorite pastimes -- fucking with Jews.
Please don't give them the benefit of an excuse.

They are one and the same.

(11,949 posts)But Europe has just received a shit ton of people who hate both. And are willing to firebomb their children, as this article points out.
I guess we can still be thankful for the Atlantic Ocean.
