Luckily, no on was injured and three twenty-something men were arrested. Of course, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/12\/10\/world\/europe\/sweden-synagogue-molotov-cocktail.html\">New York Times<\/a>, it&#8217;s Trump&#8217;s fault; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A police spokeswoman, Ulla Brehm, said: \u201cIt might become a hate crime. The crime is attempted arson. But that may change during the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Police Authority\u2019s commissioner, Dan Eliasson, told the Aftonbladet newspaper that the threat level against Jewish interests in Sweden had increased since President Trump\u2019s announcement that the United States would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The attack in Gothenburg, a city on the country\u2019s west coast, came a day after demonstrators took to the streets of Malmo, Sweden\u2019s third-largest city, shouting slogans about killing or shooting Jews.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, Trump&#8217;s announcement that he would move our embassy to Jerusalem is what caused some racists in Sweden to firebomb a Synagogue. Actually, the US recognized Jerusalem as Israel&#8217;s capitol in 1995, when Bill Clinton was president. From the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/politics\/wp\/2017\/12\/06\/in-1995-congress-reached-a-compromise-on-the-issue-of-jerusalem-trump-is-poised-to-end-it\/?utm_term=.190fe19262d0\">Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[In October, 1995] the House and Senate passed a bill called the \u201cJerusalem Embassy Act,\u201d which formally recognized the city as the country\u2019s capital and called for the U.S. Embassy in Israel to be moved there from Tel Aviv by 1999. Support for the bill was overwhelming. It passed the Senate by a 93 to 5 vote, with four Republicans and one Democrat voting no. It passed the House 374 to 37, with 153 Democrats joining most of the new Republican majority that had swept into power in 1994.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, I have to think that the firebombing in Gothenburg was going to happen anyway, no matter what Trump does. I mean, Sweden is thousands of miles from Gaza. If those twenty-year-olds were so concerned about the trajectory of politics in the Middle East, why are they in Sweden?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, in Gothenburg, Sweden, a number of people firebombed a Synagogue while folks were in the &hellip; <a title=\"Sweden firebombing\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=76448\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sweden firebombing<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76448\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
