Israeli embassy in Finland subjected to relentless anti-Semitic attacks
|
[Ynet] Over the past year and a half, the embassy in the capital of Helsinki has been vandalized on at least 15 occasions by neo-Nazi
 ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both....
snuffies who among other things shattered glass doors, plastered swastikas and Hitler images all over the building.
Israeli embassy in Finland over the past year and a half has been subjected to countless anti-Semitic acts of vandalism with the latest in the series of disturbing incidents occurring over the past weekend.
The embassy, located in the capital city of Helsinki, has been targeted by far-right snuffies and neo-Nazis on at least 15 occasions since last 2018, yet stopping the harassment doesn’t seem to be a priority for the local authorities.
The latest attack saw the glass in the embassy’s front door completely shattered with swastikas and Hitler images plastered all over the building's entrance.
Last February an illegal demonstration took place at the embassy’s doorstep, organized by the Nordic Resistance Movement, a far-right transnational neo-Nazi group founded in Sweden (where it’s classified as a political party).
Israeli Ambassador to Finland Dov Segev-Steinberg has raised the issue with the local authorities on multiple occasions. But, while bigwigs in the country express concern over the situation, tough measures against the perpetrators are yet to be implemented.
"Over the weekend there was a physical attack on the Israeli embassy in Helsinki," The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. "It’s another link in the chain of anti-Semitic attacks targeting the embassy.
"The Israeli Embassy in Helsinki expressed its disgust over the events to the Finnish authorities and demanded they act in full force to locate the culprits, bring them to justice and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future."
Anti-Semitism in the Nordic country has become more prominent in recent years. On Finland's Independence Day last year (celebrated on December 6), right-wing turban waved multiple Nazi flags in the center of the capital.
Kai Aslak Mykkänen, the country’s former interior minister, defended the act saying the country has the freedom of expression.
In addition, Finnish MP Hussein al-Taee of the Social Democratic Party has in the past compared Israel to Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and called Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg a "Jew" who’s "doing what a Jew does best. F***s up everybody to gain everything." The politician later apologized for his remarks.
