The synagogue in the culturally-enriched southern Swedish city of Malmö was recently attacked, yet again. What is notable about the following article on Jew-hatred in Malmö is that there is no mention of the fact that violence against Jews in Malmö is perpetrated by Muslims. I doubt that even a single attack against Jews in Malmö during the past ten years was perpetrated by a non-Muslim. The violent expression of Jew-hatred in Sweden is a Muslim issue, but it is politically incorrect to discuss it in such terms.

Criticism after the attack: “A plan is needed”
Malmö, May 5, 2023
The synagogue in Malmö was subjected to a suspected attack attempt just over one week ago.
At the same time, a Malmö city survey shows that Jewish school students are being subjected to verbal and physical attacks.
“It would be nice if we could see Malmö as a peaceful city where everyone can feel safe and follow their dreams. But that is not the case,” says Jonathan Conricus, former international spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces.
Jonathan Conricus has a background as press spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces. He has lived in Israel in recent decades but grew up in Malmö. He has been Israel’s representative in the UN and has appeared in historical international media such as CNN.
Now he is on a lecture tour in Sweden, and one of the stops is his childhood city of Malmö, where his Skåne past is remembered, if in nothing other than the dialect.
“I have felt that now when I am in Stockholm, Uppsala and the like. As soon as I open my mouth, people understand where I am from.”
“Malmö and Skåne are a big part of my heritage. I had a wonderful upbringing in Malmö.”
Today, he is critical over the way Malmö’s Jewish community is protected.
“My perspective is from the outside, but the short answer to the question is: Where ARE Malmö’s Jews” They are barely here any longer,” he says, and refers to information on the way the Jewish congregation has lost members in the past few years.
On April 26, Malmö police staged a major operation at the synagogue in central Malmö. The incident is being investigated as preparation for destruction dangerous to the public. One person was arrested but later released. Suspicions of crime remain.
“We’ll check some things, and then I will make a decision as to whether to close the case or go further,” says the preliminary investigation leader, Pär Andersson, on Wednesday.
Police are reticent
In March 2021, the city of Malmö presented an investigation in which Jewish school students were interviewed and practically all testified to hate crimes in the form of physical and verbal attacks.
Mirjam Katzin, Malmö’s coordinator against anti-Semitism, wrote in her report that Malmö’s teachers had a knowledge gap on the subject. In a debate article in Expressen, several Jewish representatives demanded a number of measures to make schools safer.
Jonathan Conricus is now calling on leading politicians to set down which values apply.
“That they actually have a plan for how to implement laws. To make the message very clear: If one engages in Jew-hatred, there will be consequences. That everyone understands there will be no tolerance for hate.”
Wants to highlight fight against anti-Semitism
Amani Loubani (Social Democrat), the municipal counselor in Malmö responsible for democracy and human rights, believes that the city takes the criticism seriously. She agrees that it is important to be clear that all varieties of anti-Semitism are impermissible.
“I have personally been very clear on this and have raised it in many contexts. But it is something we must continue to do, it is ongoing,” she says and points to the internal training on racism where the IHRA’s* definition of anti-Semitism is used.
The Jewish community, with support from the city of Malmö, has built a knowledge center about Jewish life in Malmö and Sweden.
“Thousands of school students have visited the knowledge center, and it has been very valuable,” says Amani Loubani.
“This has been exciting work. It is flexible. We talk constantly: What are our challenges now? And then we make plans based on that,” says Amani Loubani.

Maybe — just a theory — the Left secretly likes not having to dirty its own hands any longer. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. At the same time, they don’t seem to realize the Faustian tragedy they’re conjuring up this way and which will bring about their own removal from power. They can’t see beyond their immediate desires and the consequences beyond. Good luck…
Perhaps there’s something to that theory.
In America, the black family has been obliterated by The Great Society, victim culture, breakdown in effective policing in the inner cities where blacks congregate, and The War on Drugs, which has had the perverse result of increasing the availability of drugs and young black males involved in selling them. While conservatives have assisted with some of these policies, most have been leftist initiatives. It’s as if the Grand Dragon of the KKK had decided to decisively destroy the black family and pushed this goal through leftist policies.
I know rank and file leftists are stupid, but I doubt their leadership is that ignorant to not know that one of the likely outcomes of importing hordes of muslim orcs would be increased antisemitism and violence against jews. So perhaps, there is a secret goal amongst leftist leadership to complete the job that Schicklgruber started, and this is being done by using muslim orcs which they imported in massive numbers as a cat’s paw to do their dirty work.
K.: Your theory checks out with all my sources.*
