Related: About this forumSwedish minister: Israel crossed the line in its response to Stockholm's recognition of Palestine
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/europe/16402-swedish-minister-israel-crossed-the-line-in-its-response-to-stockholms-recognition-of-palestineSwedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom said Friday that Israel upset its close allies with its exaggerated reaction to Stockholm's recognition of the Palestinian state and its rhetoric "crosses all lines."
In an interview with Dagens Nyheter newspaper, Wallstrom said that "It is not acceptable the way they talked about us... It has angered not only us but also the Americans and everyone else who is dealing with them right now."
The relationship between Israel and Sweden deteriorated since the Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, leader of the Social Democrats Party, announced in his first speech before the parliament after becoming prime minister that his country would recognise the Palestinian state.
Israel claimed that the Sweden was moving hastily and its decision did not contribute to bringing peace. It recalled its ambassador to Stockholm for consultations, but he returned a month later.

Sweden is not an inconsequential nation, but I get it. Not like this is an isolated incident.

Frustrated at getting no traction from the usual incendiary bullshit and desperate for attention.
The next stage could get very interesting...

(14,851 posts)7. Not sure at all what that means
Is that one of your unique "sayings" of RDO?
Another attempt at "viral " popular usage ?
Like your unique referall of "The Temple Mount " as "Al Aqsa Mount" or uniquely labeling and uniquely deciding for yourself that the term "Israeli Arab" is derogatory?
Is this another UNIQUE invention ?
LOL
