These anti-Israel protests around Europe have entered a “can-you-top-this” mode, where the haters of Israel keep making their protests against the Jewish state ever more outrageous and sinister. In Stockholm, an anti-Israel group set up a mock entry gate to Auschwitz, where replacing the infamous words “Arbeit macht frei” was one word — “Gaza.” This is a way of reminding visitors to the display that the Jews are the new Nazis, and the “Palestinians” the new Jews, and those “Jewish Nazis” are wantonly murdering “Palestinians” just as, in the past, the Nazis murdered Jews.
More on this moral imbecility can be found here: “Stockholm pro-Palestine protest uses mock Auschwitz gate with word ‘Gaza’ to criticize Israel,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, July 12, 2026:
Pro-Palestine activists staged a protest in central Stockholm on Saturday featuring a mock Auschwitz gate with ‘Gaza’ instead of ‘Arbeit Macht Frei.’
The protest was organized by the group Palestina Demonstration Stockholm in response to what they say is the wrongful detention of Palestinian pediatrician and hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya by Israeli authorities.
The activists gathered to demand Abu Safiya’s immediate release, as well as “respect for international humanitarian law and protection for all healthcare workers in war and conflict.
How has Israel failed to respect international humanitarian law? Just between October 2025 and June 2026, 1.8 million tons of food entered Gaza — that amount is roughly three times the amount the World Food Program has identified as necessary during that period. In addition during the same period more than 18,000 tons of medicines and medical supplies entered Gaza. Israel has also delivered incubators for newborns, ventilators, MRI machines, and other medical equipment. And each day Israel supplies people in Gaza with 70,000 cubic meters of water, through pipelines, desalination facilities, and other infrastructure. The only people who in the past prevented humanitarian aid from getting to people in Gaza were the members of Hamas, who seized aid trucks just as they were entering Gaza and drove them to their own warehouses, where much of that aid was off-loaded, to then either be distributed to its own members or to be sold, not given, to civilians at exorbitant prices. The IDF has had success, however, in suppressing those Hamas stealers of aid, and that is no longer a problem.
The case of Abu Safiya – who has been held in Israeli detention since September 2024 – has gained significant international attention. While Amnesty International, for example, refers to him as an “arbitrarily detained Palestinian health worker,” Israel maintains that he is actually a Hamas colonel.
Like hundreds of those supposed “journalists ”in Gaza who turned out to be members of Hamas, and like those UNRWA aid workers who were not only Hamas members, but even, in some cases, had taken part in the October 7, 2023 atrocities, so a number of medical personnel in Gaza have also turned out to be Hamas members. Abu Safiya may have been a “health worker,” but he was also a high-ranking member — a colonel — in Hamas. How do the Israelis know this? In Gaza they have captured, among a trove of material, lists of Hamas members and their ranks.
The IDF has a long record of telling the truth; Amnesty International has a long record of undermining the Jewish state, including accepting, and disseminating, the lies told about it by Hamas. Israel has no wish to detain the innocent. It has kept Abu Safiya in detention for only one reason: he is a Hamas colonel. Period.
The Stockholm protest therefore called for his release, as well as the release of Marwan Barghouti, and the protection of Gazan health workers.
The protesters in Stockholm calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti apparently do not care that he is now serving five life sentences plus 40 years because he was responsible for the deaths of at least five Israelis, as well as being a member of a terrorist organization. For them, he’s an innocent victim of a vindictive Jewish state.
Abu Safiya was a doctor and a Hamas colonel. He was arrested for being the latter. Why should anyone think that because Abu Safiya was a doctor, he therefore was innocent? Dr. Mengele was a doctor, too, and also a diabolical Nazi war criminal.
Why did the Swedish police not intervene and pull down the mock Auschwitz gate? Doesn’t such a display foment race hatred against Jews, who are being accused of acting like Nazis?
What will be the next anti-Israel (and antisemitic) outrage from Stockholm? Will local haters put on the striped garb of Auschwitz inmates, use makeup to give themselves a hollow-cheeked appearance, and huddle on the pavement outside Stockholm’s main synagogue, while someone dressed in a Waffen-SS uniform, with whip in hand, stands over them, and sewn onto his sleeve, clearly visible, is an Israeli flag?

There is a listing of terror attacks, and their counted victims. Is there a listing of the verbal and other attacks on Jews…even just since the Oct massacre?
It’s one upmanship and it’s very ugly.
Any evil one can do, another can do worse.
The so-called “palestinians” are not victims. They are the perps, whatever they call themselves.
Edmund Carey says
Where in God’s name were the Stockholm police when this despicable outrage was mounted? Even someone stupid enough to believe the lies about Israel, did they happen to retain a modicum of common human decency, would be disgusted by this. Was ANYONE in Stockholm disgusted by this?

Hugh, you are putting ideas in their heads. The pageant you describe they are 100% able to perpetrate.
Petersen says
The Swede police is busy making sure nobody burns a Koran or insult their false project.
Islam has successfully put it self above the law and is protected. Also they have official no go zone where police agree not to enter in Sweden.
Sweden role is only to pay for Muslims, pay to increase their babies and move them around to take over.

Anything and everything the red/green alliance accuses others of doing the red/green alliance is guilty of doing. It is easy to figure out what the alliance is up to because they telegraph it all the time. It is an unwritten rule among them that you can count on every single time.
Cynthia says
The Swedes are suffering from Stockholm syndrome. They are completely under the influence of Islamic propaganda while suffering from extreme fear of violence from their new citizens.

Besides the travel bans from the middle east I also believe in a travel ban on west European countries like the UK, France and especially the Scandinavian countries like Sweden. Keep your democratic socialism.

Bloody thugs–this is not protesting democratic Israel, but threatening Jews with more death. *Ugh*.
