Palestinian leader to be investigated for possible incitement to hatred, but would have diplomatic immunity from prosecution.

Berlin police have opened a preliminary investigation against Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas over his comments this week that Israel had committed “50 Holocausts” against Palestinians.
There are fewer than 6 million people who call themselves Palestinian in the entire world. One holocaust would entirely wipe them out.
The remarks, during a news conference in Berlin alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, sparked outrage in Germany, Israel and beyond. The Palestinian leader walked back his comments without actually apologizing.
Scholz should have walked Abbas back to his plane and sent him home.

Malmo, Sweden is probably the Islamic capital of Europe. Their crime statistics increase in direct proportion to the number of Muslims taking residence in the city. They form gangs and take over parts of Malmo. If the arrested teen isn't the shooter in this apparent gang war, then he was probably one of the targets. At any rate, none of the news reports are mentioning Islamic involvement as Swedish media has learned nothing in the past 7 years.

Representatives from the police and the city of Malmo will hold a news conference on Saturday morning.
