Now, if Starmer, Macron, and Carney only got the same wake-up call. And stupid people would stop demanding a two-state solution, which will never be acceptable to Palestinians, except in the short term, as they resupply.
Sweden reverses its stance on Israel,
admits Hamas is at fault for war
Sweden’s coalition has (at least on this issue) come to its senses, no thanks to the misguided Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson:
One hopes that other countries will follow Sweden’s turnaround. However, the recognition that Hamas is at fault for October 7 is only a beginning. Hamas is also to be blamed for using human shields, which created the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. It is also to blame for stealing aid in Gaza, which intensified the suffering of its own people.

Sweden Walks Back Israel Stance, Admits Hamas at Fault for War
by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, August 7, 2025:
Amid a flood of internal criticism, the centre-right government in Sweden appears to be backtracking on its “one-sided” stance towards Israel, potentially including its calls to cut off EU trade.
Last week, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced that Stockholm wanted a suspension of the trade agreement between the European Union and Israel over supposed failures in “fulfilling its most basic obligations” around humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Members of all three governing coalition parties were quick to criticise the stance, which many argued failed to recognise that Hamas was to blame for the start of the war with the October 7th terror attacks and therefore bears the primary responsibility for the suffering of the inhabitants of Gaza.
Coalition partner and leader of the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats (SD), Jimmie Åkesson, wrote in the Expressen newspaper that pushing to freeze trade with Israel “is not only economically and diplomatically harmful – it is morally wrong and politically short-sighted.”
Åkesson went on to say that if his party had known that the government would have been “so erratic and weak in Middle Eastern politics,” it would have pushed for foreign policy guarantees in the coalition agreement that saw his party join the government in 2022.
Israel’s ambassador to Stockholm, Ziv Nevo Kulman, thanked Åkesson for his “important contribution that clarifies the reality – that so many others quietly support.” This marked a notable shift from Jerusalem towards the SD, which had previously refused to have any contact with the populist party for being too “far-right”.…
