ICE NEWS (.is): Jewish residents in the southern Swedish city of Malmo are being increasingly targeted by anti-Semitic threats and harassment, causing many to flee the city out of safety concerns.
“Threats against Jews have increased steadily in Malmo in recent years and many young Jewish families are choosing to leave the city,” said Jewish Community of Malmo leader Fredrik Sieradzki in a report by The Local. “Many feel that the community and local politicians have shown a lack of understanding for how the city’s Jewish residents have been marginalised”.
In 2009 there were 79 crimes reported to Malmo police against Jewish residents, representing a 50 percent increase from the previous year according to media reports. >>> | Thursday, February 04, 2010
