Anti-semitism in Malmo

In the year 2012 there was a medical meeting in Malmo, Sweden concerning a subject which particularly interests me. I did not attend because the city of Malmo has been the location of anti-Semitic physical as well as vocal attacks on the small Jewish community that lives there. To make matters worse, the mayor of Malmo, a person by the name of Ilmar Reepalu, does not recognize the anti-Semitism in his city but instead blames it on the Jewish community for not denouncing the State of Israel. That would be like blaming Catholics for not denouncing the Vatican. Why should we Jews have to denounce Israel? Mr. Reepalu wants us to be obedient to his ideas. I am sorry Mr. Reepalu. I have a brain and can think for myself. If you don't like me, I will travel elsewhere and spend my money somewhere other than in your city.
