What a bunch of morons. Do they really think that by hurling anti-Israeli epithets they can create any change?

Anti-Israel protesters clash with police

Dozens of anti-Israel activists clashed with police Saturday as they tried to storm a closed arena where Sweden and Israel were playing a Davis Cup tennis match.

The activists hurled rocks and firecrackers at police vans as they tried to break through the barricades set up to keep protesters from the arena. Hundreds of riot police pushed them back using truncheons.

There were no immediate reports of injuries. At least five people were detained, police spokesman Lars Hakan Lindholm said.

The clashes erupted after about 7,000 people gathered at a square in downtown Malmo to hear speeches condemning Israel’s operation in Gaza and urging support for Palestinians.

Organizers of the “stop the match” protest had said the demonstration would be peaceful, but extreme-left activists had vowed to disrupt the match, which is being played without fans in Malmo.

Sweden’s Left Party leader Lars Ohly told the crowd that the European Union and the rest of the world should “boycott the racist regime in Israel.”

The protesters then marched toward the Baltic Hall arena, where some of them attacked the police line with eggs, rocks and firecrackers.

The doubles match between Sweden and Israel started as planned before about 300 special guests invited by the two countries’ tennis federations. About 1,000 police from southern Sweden were deployed in Malmo to keep the protesters from entering the arena.

    Occupied Countries's Central Banks,robbed by the 'valiant' Wehrmacht...

    Pathetic!a great example of traitorous dhimmitude in action.
    Swedes are by nature sensible people but they do throw up crackpots who side with the enemy.
    They should be paying more attention to the criminal miscreants who are raping their women.
    There are many people there who feel(with good reason)that allowing these ungrateful idiots into what was
    a peaceful and orderly society was a grave mistake.
    The writings of Fjordman(a well known anti muslim essayist)should be made required reading.
    Expect more mayhem there from the ROP.
