Antisemitism in Switzerland and Sweden > 15 y/o Muslim stabs Jew 17 times, gets one year suspended sentence; Mock Auschwitz gate in Stockholm

 

Swiss court gives Muslim teen just one year in jail for stabbing Orthodox Jewish man 17 times

Jul 10, 2026 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams17 Comments

The only hope for justice is for authorities pursue the revocation of the Muslim attacker’s Swiss citizenship, which could see him possibly deported to Tunisia. He is an extreme threat to Jews in the country, given the details of his savage stabbing of his Jewish victim.

Last year, the Swiss House of Representatives adopted a motion to have young offenders judged according to adult criminal law for particularly serious offenses. However, the motion was inadequate. Under it, the maximum period for imprisonment for a youth of 16 would only be increased from 4 to 6 years, and from 1 to 2 years for 15-year-olds; this is not nearly enough. The Swiss criminal system is based on rehabilitation for young offenders, which does not work for jihadists, since they’re on a zealous religious mission, and many of their fellow believers see their actions as good.

There have been enough extremely violent attacks by jihadists in the West for lawmakers across the board to implement changes to protect citizens. The rights of people who are actual hazards to public safety should not be prioritized over national security. Jihadists are at war with the West, and are particularly threatening to Jews everywhere.

Like in most countries, antisemitism in Switzerland shot up after October 7, as the pro-Hamas “globalize the intifada” movement fueled it.

Swiss Court Sparks Outrage After Muslim Teen Who Stabbed Orthodox Jew 17 Times Receives One-Year Sentence

by Ailin Vilches Arguello, Algemeiner, July 7, 2026:

A Muslim teenager convicted of attempting to murder an Orthodox Jewish man in a terror-inspired stabbing attack in Zurich has been handed a one-year sentence, triggering backlash from Jewish leaders and public figures who say the punishment fails to reflect the severity of the crime.

On Tuesday, a juvenile court in Zurich sentenced the dual Swiss-Tunisian national, who was 15 at the time of the attack, to one year in prison, with the sentence suspended to allow him to undergo therapy at a care facility. The court also acquitted him of charges related to repeated death threats.

“Killing Jews simply because they are Jews is unscrupulous,” the judge said in his ruling.

Because the defendant was 15 when he carried out the attack, the maximum sentence the court could impose under Swiss juvenile law was limited to one year in prison. The Youth Prosecution Service had charged him with multiple offenses, including attempted murder, support for a criminal organization, and incitement to discrimination and hatred.

The defendant, now 17, carried out the attack in March 2024, stabbing a 50-year-old Orthodox Jewish man 17 times shortly after the victim left a local synagogue.

The teenager arrived at the synagogue while livestreaming, though a technical failure meant the recording captured only audio. He can be heard complaining that the synagogue door was locked and saying he would wait for someone to come out. Shortly afterward, he says, “Now I have one,” followed by sounds of running, cries of “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”), and emergency services arriving at the scene.

My questions are:  if it was a Jewish boy who stabbed a Muslim Imam 17 times, would he have gotten the same gentle treatment?  

When you stab someone 17 times, is that not an indication of madness?  If you attempt to murder someone, and you think your actions are heroic, is that not madness?

In Stockholm, a Mock Auschwitz Entry Gate Set Up to Protest Against Israel

Jul 14, 2026 2:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald1 Comment

These anti-Israel protests around Europe have entered a “can-you-top-this” mode, where the haters of Israel keep making their protests against the Jewish state ever more outrageous and sinister. In Stockholm, an anti-Israel group set up a mock entry gate to Auschwitz, where replacing the infamous words “Arbeit macht frei” was one word — “Gaza.” This is a way of reminding visitors to the display that the Jews are the new Nazis, and the “Palestinians” the new Jews, and those “Jewish Nazis” are wantonly murdering “Palestinians” just as, in the past, the Nazis murdered Jews.

Stockholm pro-Palestine protest uses mock Auschwitz gate with word ‘Gaza’ to criticize Israel

by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, July 12, 2026:

Pro-Palestine activists staged a protest in central Stockholm on Saturday featuring a mock Auschwitz gate with ‘Gaza’ instead of ‘Arbeit Macht Frei.’

The protest was organized by the group Palestina Demonstration Stockholm in response to what they say is the wrongful detention of Palestinian pediatrician and hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya by Israeli authorities.

The activists gathered to demand Abu Safiya’s immediate release, as well as “respect for international humanitarian law and protection for all healthcare workers in war and conflict.

How has Israel failed to respect international humanitarian law? Just between October 2025 and June 2026, 1.8 million tons of food entered Gaza — that amount is roughly three times the amount the World Food Program has identified as necessary during that period. In addition during the same period more than 18,000 tons of medicines and medical supplies entered Gaza. Israel has also delivered incubators for newborns, ventilators, MRI machines, and other medical equipment. And each day Israel supplies people in Gaza with 70,000 cubic meters of water, through pipelines, desalination facilities, and other infrastructure. The only people who in the past prevented humanitarian aid from getting to people in Gaza were the members of Hamas, who seized aid trucks just as they were entering Gaza and drove them to their own warehouses, where much of that aid was off-loaded, to then either be distributed to its own members or to be sold, not given, to civilians at exorbitant prices. The IDF has had success, however, in suppressing those Hamas stealers of aid, and that is no longer a problem.

The case of Abu Safiya – who has been held in Israeli detention since September 2024 – has gained significant international attention. While Amnesty International, for example, refers to him as an “arbitrarily detained Palestinian health worker,” Israel maintains that he is actually a Hamas colonel.

Like hundreds of those supposed “journalists ”in Gaza who turned out to be members of Hamas, and like those UNRWA aid workers who were not only Hamas members, but even, in some cases, had taken part in the October 7, 2023 atrocities, so a number of medical personnel in Gaza have also turned out to be Hamas members. Abu Safiya may have been a “health worker,” but he was also a high-ranking member — a colonel — in Hamas. How do the Israelis know this? In Gaza they have captured, among a trove of material, lists of Hamas members and their ranks.

The IDF has a long record of telling the truth; Amnesty International has a long record of undermining the Jewish state, including accepting, and disseminating, the lies told about it by Hamas. Israel has no wish to detain the innocent. It has kept Abu Safiya in detention for only one reason: he is a Hamas colonel. Period.

The Stockholm protest therefore called for his release, as well as the release of Marwan Barghouti, and the protection of Gazan health workers.

The protesters in Stockholm calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti apparently do not care that he is now serving five life sentences plus 40 years because he was responsible for the deaths of at least five Israelis, as well as being a member of a terrorist organization. For them, he’s an innocent victim of a vindictive Jewish state.

Abu Safiya was a doctor and a Hamas colonel. He was arrested for being the latter. Why should anyone think that because Abu Safiya was a doctor, he therefore was innocent? Dr. Mengele was a doctor, too, and also a diabolical Nazi war criminal.

Why did the Swedish police not intervene and pull down the mock Auschwitz gate? Doesn’t such a display foment race hatred against Jews, who are being accused of acting like Nazis?

What will be the next anti-Israel (and antisemitic) outrage from Stockholm? Will local haters put on the striped garb of Auschwitz inmates, use makeup to give themselves a hollow-cheeked appearance, and huddle on the pavement outside Stockholm’s main synagogue, while someone dressed in a Waffen-SS uniform, with whip in hand, stands over them, and sewn onto his sleeve, clearly visible, is an Israeli flag?

Battle for Hungary: How the Russiagate blueprint has been unleashed against Orban

Western vested interests are running a familiar ploy, but this time the power players have been exposed

The shadow campaign to swing the Hungarian election against Viktor Orban escalated with the scandal over the wiretapping of Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto. The case offers a rare look into how bureaucrats, journalists, and spies run a regime-change operation in real time.

 Battle for Hungary: How the EU plans to defeat Viktor Orban

Three weeks out from the April 12 elections, the political opposition to Orban scored what seemed to be a win, when Politico and the Washington Post ran articles alleging that Szijjarto had phoned Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with “live reports on what had been discussed” at multiple EU meetings. The reports cited anonymous “European security officials.”

Neither Orban nor Szijjarto make any secret of their desire to maintain cordial relations with Moscow, particularly on matters of energy security and the peace process in Ukraine. However, when bundled with more outlandish claims – that Russian “election fixers” are already embedded in Budapest, for example – the reports paint a picture of a government compromised by the Kremlin.

Orban’s leading opponent, Peter Magyar, has repeated these claims in his speeches. After the Szijjarto story broke, he accused the foreign minister of “betraying Hungarian and European interests,” and threatened him with “life imprisonment” for treason, should his Tisza party win the election.

All it took was one leaked audio file for the scheme to unravel.

The Szijjarto wiretapping plot

In an audio file released by Hungarian conservative outlet Mandiner, opposition journalist Szabolcs Panyi can be heard telling a source how he passed Szijjarto’s phone number to “a state organ of an EU country.” Once they had this number, he explained, agents of this country were able to extract “information about who that number spoke to, and they see who is calling that number or who that number is calling.”

In a Facebook post, Panyi confirmed that he was the person on the recording. He said that he was asking his source whether she knew of any alternate numbers used by Szijjarto or Lavrov, “so that I could compare them with information received from the national security service of a European country.”

Panyi’s confession explained how the “European security officials” were able to track Szijjarto’s phone conversations before feeding the information to Politico and the Washington Post.

Orban immediately announced an investigation into the wiretapping. “We are dealing with two serious issues,” the PM stated the same day as Panyi's post. “There is evidence that Hungary’s foreign minister was wiretapped, and we also ⁠have indications of who may be behind it.” Szijjarto explained that as the EU’s longest-serving foreign minister, he regularly speaks to Lavrov with messages from his colleagues in the EU. The real scandal, he said “is that a Hungarian journalist is colluding with foreign secret services in order to wiretap a member of the Hungarian government.”

“What makes this case even worse is that this Hungarian journalist is friends with the inner circles of the [opposition] Tisza party,” he added.

The man on the inside

Panyi’s central role in the scheme will come as no surprise to anyone who’s been following our reporting on the Hungarian election. An editor with Vsquare, Panyi leads the outlet’s Budapest office, and wrote an article in early March alleging that the Kremlin had dispatched “political technologists” from Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, to Budapest to swing the election for Orban.

Panyi did not explain what this mysterious team of election meddlers was doing, or investigate whether they actually existed. Instead, he took the word of the anonymous “European national security sources,” who fed him the story at face value.

Vsquare is funded by grants from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an agency of the US State Department that helped foment the 2014 Maidan coup in Ukraine, USAID, the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and two EU-backed journalism funds. Almost all of Vsquare’s published work – which includes investigations tying Orban’s government to Russian intelligence, as well as hit pieces on populist leaders Robert Fico in Slovakia and Andrej Babis in the Czech Republic – is based on information provided by European intelligence agencies, as well as interviews with pro-EU politicians and NGOs.

Vsquare's article on alleged Russian influence in the Hungarian election, and a list of the outlet's donors from its website

Panyi’s apparent role is to launder this information for public consumption. In the case of the GRU meddling story, he took the word of the intelligence agencies and presented it as original reporting before it was picked up and disseminated by multiple Western outlets, including the Financial Times. The EU then activated its online censorship mechanism in Hungary, citing the threat of “potential Russian online disinformation campaigns.” Originating with EU spies and spread by an EU-financed news outlet, the story helped legitimize the bloc’s censorship campaign ahead of a crucial election.

In the case of the Szijjarto-Lavrov story, Panyi went even further by helping the spies obtain their information in the first place. It is unclear which agency he collaborated with, but in a Facebook post, the Vsquare editor said that he spoke to officials from seven EU countries while working on the story. Among them was Gabrielius Landsbergis, Lithuania’s former foreign minister who has referred to Russia as “the world’s cancer that must be removed.”

What’s the endgame for Panyi and the EU?

 Hungary vetoes EU loan to Ukraine as Orban-Zelensky standoff continues

Panyi stands to personally gain if Orban is ousted. In the recording released by Mandiner, he tells his source that he is a “quasi-friend” of Anita Orban, a member of Magyar’s Tisza party, and Magyar’s pick to replace Szijjarto as foreign minister. Panyi suggests that he has close links to Tisza, and would be in a position to recommend “who should stay or be removed” if Magyar takes power.

More broadly, it is unclear whether Vsquare’s reporting will have any meaningful impact on Hungarian voters. However, smear campaigns and dirty tricks are part and parcel of any election, and with Orban vetoing the EU’s €90 billion loan package for Ukraine, Brussels and its allies have every incentive to try to tip the scales in their favor.

Yet even if Orban wins, the flood of Russia conspiracies from outlets like Vsquare, Politico, and the Washington Post serves another vital purpose: to delegitimize his victory and justify reprisals from Brussels.

 The US has accused the EU of censorship: Here’s how the bloc’s consensus machine works 

Russiagate revived

The self-fulfilling conspiracy playbook was actually written in Washington. Back in 2016, fabricated claims of “Russian interference” and improper contacts between Donald Trump’s campaign and Moscow were used to justify the wiretapping of Trump’s campaign, and a years-long investigation that ultimately ended with zero proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

The parallels between ‘Russiagate’ and the information war playing out in Hungary are unmistakable. In the same way that Vsquare’s GRU report propped up the EU’s decision to impose its censorship regime on Hungary earlier this month, the FBI used the ‘Steele Dossier’ – a collection of unfounded rumors about Trump’s relationship with Moscow – to justify wiretapping the Trump campaign.

In 2017, Barack Obama’s intelligence chief, James Clapper, strong-armed the 17 US intelligence agencies into releasing a statement claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally “approved and directed” a cyber-warfare and influence operation against the Clinton campaign. In 2026, the EU’s spy agencies are using the press to smear Orban and Szijjarto as agents of the Kremlin.

‘Russiagate’ stymied Trump’s policy agenda for the entirety of his first term in office. Even after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report exonerated Trump in 2019, the CIA leaked false reports of Russia paying the Taliban cash “bounties” for killing US soldiers to block the president’s planned withdrawal from Afghanistan, while Clinton and many of her supporters still maintain that Trump’s 2016 victory was fraudulent.

The EU has already blocked funds for Hungary equal to 3.5% of the country’s GDP, over Orban’s banning of LGBT propaganda and refusal to accept non-European migrants. Should he win the election, it is easy to imagine claims of Russian interference being used to cut further assistance to Budapest, or even to strip Hungary’s EU veto rights. The latter idea has already been floated by Sweden, Lithuania, and a host of unnamed “EU diplomats” interviewed by Politico last week.

What’s the bottom line?

The battle for power in Hungary is intensifying as international vested interests begin running ploys tried and tested in other jurisdictions, from the US to Romania (see our series opener on the EU censorship machine).

In Hungary, Panyi has claimed that “the connection between Szijjarto and Lavrov is just the tip of the iceberg.” Orban has vowed to “take retribution” for the wiretapping. Magyar has threatened Szijjarto with prison time. For everyone involved, the scandal has raised the stakes of the election to the point where nobody can afford to lose on April 12.
