Ilmar Reepalu franstår som allt ynkligare för varjedag. Trots att han slingrar sig, ljuger och mörkar
sanningen, så blir det katastrof varje gång han öppnar
munnen.
Det korta reportaget i danska TV 2:s lokalnyheter
Lorry är värt att se. Där blomstrar varböldens
konspirationsteorier för fullt.
Nu förföljs den stackaren av den illasinnade
"israeliska lobbyn"....
Hade han haft någon heder i kroppen och lite civilkurage
hade Reepalu bett det judiska folket om ursäkt och
lämnat sina offentliga uppdrag.

Idag skriver Wall Street Journal om Malmö, antisemitismen
och Reepalu. Imorgon kommer säkert ett nytt press-
meddelande från Malmös varböld, om att han blivit
felciterad....

Det bör påpekas att WSJ fått en sak om bakfoten.
Det finns inte 20 % muslimer i staden.
Redan 2008 gick antalet muslimer över 30 %-strecket
i vad som nu är Europas mest muslimtäta storstad.....
Vi har passerat Marseilles, Amsterdam och Bryssel.
Därför kallas den också allmänt för Sveriges Gaza.

In this city—just across a narrow stretch of
water that separates Sweden from Denmark
—what has been called "Eurabia" is slowly
becoming reality. Roughly 20% of Malmö's
290,000 residents are of Muslim, mostly Arab,
origin. Their widespread hatred of Israel together
with traditional Swedish anti-Zionism—the result
of the left's ideological supremacy here—form
an explosive cocktail.

Screaming "Sieg Heil" and "Hitler, Hitler," a mostly
Muslim mob threw bottles and stones at a small
group of Jews peacefully demonstrating for Israel
at this town's central square last year. Worshipers
on their way to synagogue and Jewish kids in schools
are routinely accosted as "Dirty Jews."
Last year's Davis Cup tennis match against Israel,
which pro-Palestinian activists had sought to cancel,
was held behind closed doors. The official reason was
to avoid disruption by anti-Israeli protesters.
But roughly 6,000 of them clashed with the police
during the event anyway. Notwithstanding the official
explanation, the closed-door match left the impression
that Israel is a pariah state that needs to be quarantined.
Not surprisingly, Malmö's small Jewish community of
roughly 700 is getting smaller as families leave town.
**
Faced with these attacks on the city's Jewish
population, Malmö's mayor, Ilmar Reepalu,
seems curiously unperturbed by, if not sympathetic
to, the attackers. Asked to condemn anti-Semitism
in his city, the Social Democrat suggested in
a January interview to Skånska Dagbladet
—published on International Holocaust Memorial
Day, no less—that it's partly the Jews' own fault.
Their crime? They didn't "distance" themselves
from Israel and the Gaza war.
"The community chose to hold a pro-Israel
demonstration," Mr. Reepalu said, a move that
"may convey the wrong message." Besides,
Zionism is just as bad as anti-Semitism, the mayor
added. Both are "extremists who want to set
themselves over other groups."
**
In an interview last week, the mayor tells me that
Skånska Dagbladet didn't quote him in his entirety.
Mr. Reepalu didn't mean to criticize Zionism as such, he
says, but what he called "revisionist" Zionism, which
has led to the "occupation of territory."
But even if this were true, I asked, why did he find it
necessary to attack Israel when he had simply been
urged to oppose anti-Semitism? In lieu of an answer,
the mayor recited the familiar laundry list of alleged
Israeli crimes, such as "disproportionate attacks" and
"destroying" peace. "I fear a Third World War," the
mayor muttered darkly.
