In a last-minute about-face, a Muslim activist who received permission from Swedish police to burn the Bible outside the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm on Saturday decided not to do so.

The man, a resident of western Sweden in his 30s, had previously said that he wanted to set the Torah and the Christian Bible on fire in response to last month’s burning of the Koran outside a Stockholm mosque by a Christian Iraqi immigrant.

But in a one-man demonstration outside the shuttered embassy on Saturday, he said such an action would be “against the Koran,” and instead threw a lighter to the ground.

“I’m a Muslim, we don’t burn (books). I want to show that we have to respect each other,” the man said, according to Swedish public broadcaster SVT, adding that he had no intention of realizing his original plan.

It was not immediately clear what made him change his mind or whether the whole incident was intended as a publicity stunt.

At the meeting, the council was considering whether to vote on the mayor's appointments of two new municipal judges — Benjamin Choi as the city's next chief municipal judge, and Scott Pennington as the city's new municipal court judge, starting this September.

The two appointments would mark the first time in the city's history that an Asian American and African American individual held the positions.

Later in the meeting, a female resident of the city, Melissa Blanco, who is not an elected official, got up to complain. She said she didn't see why Fazio wouldn't be reappointed.

But then her comment took a turn.

"It’s about as diverse as all the people that have been plucked out of synagogues and all the synagogues that run the city of Hoboken," the resident said, although only one synagogue remains in Hoboken and only two of the city's elected officials, including nine council members, are Jewish.

Jewish watchdog organization StopAntisemitism was quick to denounce Blanco’s antisemitic rhetoric to their Twitter audience.

The chant of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” was recited during London’s annual walk in support of the Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign on Saturday.

Volunteers from Campaign Against Antisemitism’s Demonstration and Event Monitoring Unit were present at the protest to gather evidence.

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” only makes sense as a call for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state — and its replacement with a State of Palestine — and is thus an attempt to deny Jews, uniquely, the right to self-determination, which is a breach of the International Definition of Antisemitism.

While boycotting a country is neither illegal nor racist in and of itself, the problem with BDS is that it is no mere boycott. Supporters of BDS routinely engage the Definition by:

  • Setting political tests which Jews must pass, or face being treated as a pariah, especially by demanding that Jews renounce their cultural and religious ties to Israel, the physical centre of the Jewish religion, the world’s only Jewish state, and the country in which almost half of the world’s Jewish population lives;
  • Attempting to isolate and shame Israeli Jews, but not Israeli non-Jews, who do not support BDS when they visit Britain or come to study or teach at British universities;
  • Treating the entirety of the State of Israel as occupied land, and thereby asserting that the existence of the State of Israel is a racist endeavour;
  • Working with genocidal antisemitic terrorist organisations;
  • Claiming that Israeli policy is to deliberately kill babies, or harvest the vital organs of non-Jews, which revives ancient blood libels;
  • Attempting to portray Israeli Jews as having created a Nazi state in the model of Nazi Germany, and of ‘using’ the Holocaust as political cover for purported Jewish crimes;
  • Defending against claims of antisemitism by proposing that the allegations are a ruse used by Jewish victims, not to call out racism but to silence criticism of Israel;
  • Projecting antisemitic conspiracy myths about nefarious Jewish power onto the Jewish state.
The walk was organised by the group Friends of Al Aqsa (FOA).

The founder of FOA told a cheering crowd in 2009 during a war between Israel and the antisemitic genocidal terrorist group, Hamas: “Hamas is not a terrorist organisation. The reason that they hate Hamas is because they refuse to be subjugated to be occupied by the Israeli state and we salute Hamas for standing up to Israel.”



 
Following action from Campaign Against Antisemitism, a popular app allowing people to design their own graphics has removed an antisemitic meme from its platform.

The “Happy Merchant” meme, also known as the “Smirking Merchant”, is believed to have been created in 2001 and depicts a Jewish man with heavily stereotyped facial features who is greedily rubbing his hands together. The image has become widely used online by white supremacists and antisemites.

The Art Lab app, which has over 100,000 downloads on Google Play, is branded as “a versatile free graphic design app,” with its website stating: “Art Lab makes photo & design editing amazingly simple and fun. Design everything you need quickly and effortlessly. Design posters and banners for social media marketing, Instagram story & highlight cover, logos, business cards, birthday invitations & wedding invites.”

A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “The antisemitic ‘Happy Merchant’ meme is often used by neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Such repugnant imagery has no place on an app like this. We understand that the owners of the Art Lab app were unaware of the graphic’s presence on its platform, and we commend them for their swift and decisive action to remove the image as soon as we brought it to their attention.”

T-shirts featuring the meme have reportedly been sold by Jon Minadeo II, the founder of the Goyim Defence League (GDL). The GDL has been described as an antisemitic hate group whose membership reportedly contains several neo-Nazis. The group is divided into regional branches and regularly distributes antisemitic flyers across the United States.

Last year, a former Belfast City Councillor posted the well-known antisemitic meme on Gab, a platform favoured by the far-right.
