A quiet corner of Sweden became a microcosm of the Middle-East as a peaceful pro-Israeli rally was terrorized by a mob that fired rockets & threw pipe bombs at the demonstrators.

Far from the actions of an isolated fanatic, the entire mob erupted in cheers & calls of Allah Akbar as the weapons exploded near the peaceful rally. It seems solidarity with “Palestinians” has taken yet another ugly turn. As if excusing the barbarism of Hamas (against both Israelis & fellow Arabs) was not enough, supports are now employing the same terror tactics favored by the group.

I took my time posting this to give the more “mainstream moderate Palestinian supporters” a chance to condemn these actions & distance themselves from this group… As they say: The Silence was deafening

Post continues below this video of the event:

Very telling is the “police” action, or lack thereof. Although the man who taped this piece said police later arrested the perpetrators, the video shows officers that seem completely indifferent to this type of violence. The officer in front of the mob doesn’t even flinch as the weapon is produced, aimed and fired in broad daylight!

The brave eyewitness who captured this video reported that this was not an isolated incident. He also noted how the media in Sweden covered this event. It seems the major Swedish daily practices the same type of “fair reporting” one sees in much of the world (note: the site of the newspaper cited is in Swedish-only so we had a hard time verifying):

The largest newspaper in the south, Sydsvenskan, did what the usually do and distort and bend the truth. The article title was “Several arrested during Israel manifestation”. Thats pretty odd. The only ones arrested was the arabs, so the titel should have been “Counterdemonstrators arrested during Israel manifestation” or something like that. (how about: Peaceful Israeli demonstration bombed by Mob? or: Hamas supporters recreate Sderot at peaceful protest?)

They continue and write that The expected violence did not occur. Was the reporters from Sydsvenskan not there when two rockets [and] two bombs exploded? If that’s not violence, what is? The paper also first reported that the pro-israelis numbered at 200 and the arabs about 400, which is a lie. They than later changed those number to 400 pro-israelis and 200-300 pro-arabs. (sic)

Protests in Europe have gotten more & more outrageous over the past few years. In the name of ‘tolerance’  everything is allowed – even the most violent forms of intolerance. It is not  uncommon to witness massive parades coming down major streets where hundreds of Hezbollah & Hamas flags are waved. Because of political correctness, or perhaps because the “silent majority” is ignorant to the fact that such groups advocate the death of a great portion of the European population – such events go unchallenged.

As expected appeasement has only lead to further escalation. The genocidal worldview of some of these “protestor’s” is no longer even sugar-coated as evidenced by the disgusting placards that have been flaunted, not to mention flag burning & intimidation. And now we are seeing violence & weapons – and it will only get worse.

It’s high time the silent majority confronts a minority that is attempting to undermine everything the West stands for. I am a big proponent of free-speech but even if I were not, I do not think censorship is the answer to the disintegration of the European backbone! 

People seem too afraid, too disinterested or too stuck in “appeasement” mode to confront this existential threat to Western mores & values. Could it be they believe they are being “tolerant” when they allow intolerance to flourish? Even tolerance has limits for without them it’s analogous to anarchy.

In other words: Being tolerant does not mean one allows intolerance to go unchallenged.

UPDATE: In case you thought these were “just” fireworks, here is a better picture of the rocket hitting a building. Had this hit the rally, which was clearly the intent, fatalities or serious injuries would have been the result… AGAIN: If the majority of “Palestinian” sympathizers are “peaceful moderates” where is the outcry over the violent hijacking of “their issue”… Heck, where are the moderate Europeans? Or has bombing peaceful rallies in broad daylight the new face of ‘refined European culture’?! OUTRAGEOUS!

Bravo to the blogger who taped this and showed it to the world.
