    I do hope Sweden asked permission from the EU Commission before this announcement, independent thought is frowned upon in the EU.

    No, no, no... You can use your own initiative... but you must ask for permission first.

    Everyone needs an enemy, the EU is about to disappear back up it's own non-existence anyway and after “Dave” has finished with them.........OOOhhhh, fear his roar!!

    Good move by Sweden. It is ridiculous that Israel has occupied land for decades committing people to statelessness.

    Total shame for Sweden. A look at the history. Around 3,000 years of Israel. Any mention of 'palestine'? Nope. An arabic-islamic terrorist enclave. Long overdue for extermination. Come on, Israel, you're supposed to have nuclear weapons. Make Gaza the 'Land of the Dead'. Israel has the right. Gaza is stolen territory. Wipe the terrorist squatters out!

    It's not hard to see why you'd be jealous. The Israelis have succeeded in Palestine what Argentina failed in the Falklands, namely stealing somebody else's land behind the smokescreen of a historical argument even more bizarre than yours.

    @7. I do so hope that the 'yid squatters' turn your pals into eviscerated meat. Evidence that argieland is terrorist. Kill it!

    The Palestinians elected HAMAS knowing they were killers of the Jews and thinking they would solve the problems for them.

    HAMAS stuffed the Palestinians by altering the constitution and now they are stuck with the murderers because they cannot vote them out.

    If Israel laid down their arms they would be massacred, no doubt about that.

    If HAMAS laid down their arms there would be peace.

    The Palestinians made their decision; THEY need to do something about it. Executing every member of HAMAS would be a good start. It is the only way to reach a political solution.

    Once they are masters of their own destiny building bridges with Israel and STICKING to the terms would be another.

    Without something of this nature Israel, rightly, will never trust them.

    Well done Sweden!
    I hope France follows.

    @1 Think
    Got to agree with you there. Good to see this strongly independent Sweden, not the Sweden that was involved in NSA plot to have Assange “rendered”.

    “Come on, Israel, you're supposed to have nuclear weapons. Make Gaza the 'Land of the Dead'.”

    Tel Aviv to Gaxa 40 miles - hummm, not sure if nukes are the right choice..
