   Even better, Sweden thinks that terrorists have rights to them
   ([1]Story here). At issue is Sweden's decision to allow Hamas
   legislator Salah al-Bardaweel to enter Sweden.

     "It is important for me to say that we must not mix up the facts
     here. Hamas has been labeled a terrorist organization and there are
     people who are more or less loosely tied to it, but that does not
     mean their rights to get visas disappear," (Swedish Prime Minister
     Goran) Presson said.

   rights to get visas? Since when did right to a visa become a human
   right?

   Perhaps Sweden is merely returning to its anti-Semitic roots. A
   [2]recent poll found:

     The Dagens Nyheter reports 26 percent of those queried said they
     think there is a Jewish influence over the world economy, 15
     percent said they thought the influence was too great and 14
     percent said Jews use the Holocaust for political and economic
     ends.

     About 25 percent of those queried said they didn't like the idea of
     a Jewish prime minister.

   Last week Sweden dropped out of an international military exercise
   once it found out Israel was participating ([3]link).

   Sweden has a long history of anti-semitism. It should be recalled that
   while the Swede Raoul Wallenberg was saving Jews abroad, Sweden
   remained neutral during WW2 and allowed German troop movements on its
   soil.
