Daniel Schatz wrote that demonstrators in Sweden on the anniversary of October 7 openly praised mass murder, violence, terror, and Hamas. In Gothenburg, demonstrators allegedly waved Hamas flags and images of Yahya Sinwar and Abu Obeida according to him. In Stockholm, demonstrators participated in a march, according to Schatz, with a sign where the word "Gaza" was designed to associate with the sign "Arbeit macht frei" at Auschwitz. He also described a man in a Gestapo-like leather coat, with a bundle of banknotes and a bloody mask depicting Benjamin Netanyahu, as the leader of the group. Schatz wrote that such comparisons constituted antisemitism according to the IHRA definition, which Sweden had adopted. He claimed that similar incidents had been ongoing for three years, despite politicians saying that the fight against antisemitism was a top priority, and questioned when the police and judicial system would intervene. #Antisemitism #Sverige #Hamas (translated)

Chris wrote that even though the image quality was poor, he believed it was clear that a Midtjylland player was lying horizontally in the air and holding onto Cornelius. He questioned whether the enforcement of holding offenses in the box applied to part-time referees and called for more consistency in the referees' decisions. #Superliga #Fodbold #DommerTal (translated)

MEMIS wrote that the argument that people were already on site was one of the worst against repatriation. As a comparison, he described someone who entered a home, made a mess, and then referred to the fact that the person was already there when the police arrived. He added that mistakes and violations should obviously be corrected. #återvandring #rättvisa #migration (translated)

The economist 𝕏 🇸🇪 wrote that the capital gains tax on real estate was unreasonable because the purchase price was not adjusted for inflation, while the selling price was increased. As an example, the writer took a house that was sold for 7 million kronor after being purchased for 2 million 20 years earlier. According to the writer, the capital gain would then be calculated at 5 million kronor and the state would receive 1.1 million, despite the fact that the state had not contributed to the increase in value. #reavinstskatt #bostadsmarknad #inflation (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that Peter Hultqvist's interview was an attempt to limit the damage and give the Social Democrats a more "hawkish" profile. The writer thought that several proposals in the interview were good: a permanent amphibious battalion in Gotland, re-establishing I 22 in Kiruna, and above all, building a third submarine of the A26 class. The writer claimed that larger combat vessels needed to be built in series of at least three to ensure redundancy, with two operational and one for training or maintenance. As support, the writer referred to his own experience of two years of service as ELF and LFO at PTK Gbg, the test command for Göteborg-class corvettes. Ledarsidorna.se expressed uncertainty about Magdalena Andersson's foreign and security policy stance and wrote that neighboring countries were not impressed by her latest statement, which the writer believed opened the door for reduced engagement on NATO's northern flank. The writer also believed that Pål Jonson should remain as defense minister and called him the best in the position in modern times. Compared to Hultqvist, the writer thought that Jonson had better knowledge of weapons and weapon systems. #svpol https://t.co/ihG7cqkWH5 #säkerhetspolitik #försvar #svenskpolitk (translated)

Ridefixer described his position as arch-conservative and stated that individuals born biologically male should serve their sentences alongside biological men, regardless of legal gender designation.

Peter Johansson wrote that the Norwegian part of the Nobel Prize Committee had once again proven unworthy of its mission. He argued that the desire to make a statement against Israel had weighed more heavily than a collective assessment of the person's achievements and referred to compromising information that had been revealed. #Nobelpris #Israel #Opinionsdebatt (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that the Nobel laureate Navi Pillay had already defended censorship over freedom of speech back in September 2012. He referred to her statements about Charlie Hebdo's Muhammad cartoons: Pillay had called the publication "double irresponsible," described the cartoons as malevolent and deliberately provocative, and said that she understood why people wanted to protest strongly. Schatz accused Swedish commentators of now praising this view of extremism and freedom of speech. #yttrandefrihet #censur #politik (translated)

The review echoed a testimony from a woman who, according to her account, had been raped while another attacker cut off her breasts with a knife. The assaults continued before she was killed, the review stated. The author described the massacre on October 7 as a deep trauma for Israeli society and wrote that this year's memorial ceremony was particularly significant because all surviving hostages had returned from Gaza and the remains of the murdered had been brought home. The review believed the day should have focused on the victims, the survivors, and the relatives. The review criticized Sveriges Radio for instead directing attention towards employee Sami Abu Salem in Gaza. The author also questioned why SVT Rapport, after a segment from the memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv, had presented Gilda Hamidi-Nia's documentary "The World's Most Hated?", which according to the review had been published three days before the anniversary and dealt with how Israeli soldiers were mapped on social media and accused of suspected war crimes in Gaza. The review stated that SVT's live broadcast from the ceremony repeatedly shifted the focus from the victims and their relatives to Israel's warfare, genocide allegations against Israel and the IDF, as well as the war in Gaza. The author argued that the coverage showed a lack of judgment, proportion, and respect, and asked why the victims were not allowed to be at the center of the memorial day. https://t.co/unFDFBluFH #Hamas #Israel #minnesdag (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that the Left Party, unlike most other parties on the red-green side, had not campaigned primarily with the message of saying no to the Sweden Democrats (SD). According to her, the party had not repeatedly talked about an SD government, presented proposals for twelve SD ministers whom she described as more or less uncouth, or warned that Jimmie Åkesson could become prime minister. She wrote that the Left Party also believed that SD was wrong, but that voters needed to know what policies they were voting for. Gabrielsson thought that the negative campaigns and the political representatives' approach to each other had made it confusing to distinguish between SD and the other Tidö parties. She emphasized that the rhetoric had come from, among others, Ebba Busch, Simona Mohamsson, and moderate ministers, and that the politics had been presented jointly. According to Gabrielsson, the Left Party had therefore primarily focused on the policies it wanted to change. A campaign solely against SD risked, she wrote, appearing to target a group of people and giving someone the opportunity to adopt a victim role. She also believed it was contradictory to claim to be able to collaborate with everyone except SD, or preferably with the Tidö parties without SD, while campaigning on a different policy. Gabrielsson wrote that the Left Party had campaigned on its own policies and with Magdalena Andersson as a candidate for prime minister, well anchored in the red-green side. Therefore, according to her, the Left Party should not have to settle for having achieved a no to SD. #politik #Val2024 #rödgröna (translated)

Appmakarn wrote that the news about Jan Bolmesson from RikaTillsammans was very sad. They stated that they had spent hundreds of hours listening to Jan and Caroline and that Jan had taught them about risk awareness, among other things, through the four buckets, and about how difficult it was for active managers to beat the index. Appmakarn wrote that Jan's knowledge had helped them and many small investors avoid pitfalls. They expressed their condolences to Jan's family and others affected, hoped that his loved ones would be able to grieve in peace, and thanked Jan. #FinansTwitter #Investeringar #Sorg (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se questioned whether Magdalena Andersson was suitable as prime minister and government builder. The writer described their personal image of her as fundamentally positive but criticized her actions in security policy issues. The writer pointed out that Andersson had said in spring 2022 that Swedish NATO membership would destabilize the region before she reportedly changed her stance when Finland moved toward membership. Ledarsidorna.se also referred to an interview in Politico where Andersson allegedly wanted a future government to place greater importance on "the global south." The writer claimed that this aligned with Vladimir Putin's interests and highlighted Russia's actions towards the Baltic states. The post also mentioned that Morgan Johansson, according to Ledarsidorna.se, had stated that the Social Democrats wanted to pause an association agreement with the EU. The writer asserted that this would undermine Sweden's and NATO's northern flank defense capability, as Israeli Elbit Systems was the main supplier of communication systems to the Swedish and Finnish armies. Ledarsidorna.se also criticized that five Social Democratic members of the European Parliament had voted against a resolution to counter Islamist entryism in the EU. The writer claimed, referencing their sources, that the decision had been made by the Social Democrats' executive committee on Sveavägen 68. The post stated that Andersson and the committee had a different assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood than French and German intelligence and security services, without providing the basis for this. The writer concluded by asserting that there were good reasons to ask whether Andersson wanted what was best for Sweden and the Swedish people. #svpol #Sverige #politik #Socialdemokraterna (translated)

The Baron of Øresund wrote that a new video, in his opinion, showed a Danish helicopter flying close to a Russian warship, and that the helicopter may have itself been the provocateur in the episode. He referred to Defense Minister Jeppe Bruus calling the video a Russian misinformation campaign and saying that some of the material did not originate from the day in question. The Baron of Øresund asked which parts did, and whether it included the footage of the helicopter near the ship. If it did, he believed that the Russians were justified in reacting as they did, under international law. He wrote that the Folketing and the media should demand answers, but that he did not have high hopes that they would do so. #forsvarspolitik #russiskkrig #modinformation (translated)

Johan Romin wrote that he had 322 higher education credits, which according to him corresponded to almost 5.5 years at university, and that he was therefore not completely uneducated. He also wondered how many higher education credits Owe had. https://t.co/J3Ktu0DbMr #högskolepoäng #utbildning #universitet (translated)

Compound interest wrote that the Center Party and the Green Party should not cooperate. According to the writer, the Center Party's view on individual freedom was in sharp conflict with the Green Party's elitism and support for tyranny and oppression of individuals, which the writer argued aimed to benefit the upper class in the inner city. The writer also believed that Current Affairs should broadcast what the post described and criticized the program for not highlighting the conflict. #politiksverige #yttrandefrihet #demokrati (translated)
