Sweden recognizes Palestinian state; Israel upset

[Prince.Skeletor]

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden on Thursday became the biggest Western European country to recognize a Palestinian state, prompting a strong protest from Israel, which swiftly withdrew its ambassador from Stockholm.

The move by Sweden's new left-leaning government reflects growing international impatience with Israel's nearly half-century control of the West Bank, east Jerusalem and its blockade of the Gaza Strip. It also comes during increased tensions between Arabs and Jews over Israel's plans to build 1,000 housing units in east Jerusalem.

Israel was quick to condemn Sweden's announcement, with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman describing it as "a miserable decision that strengthens the extremist elements and Palestinian rejectionism."

Israel is an extremist state accepted by the world which Jews act like they own. Palestine deserves worldwide recognition.

That area is the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity. They stated in their declaration of independence that they wanted to be "the land of the three monotheistic faiths".... but wanted to be an ARAB state all in all.
What is wrong with this? Why should Israel feel threatened by that? They point blank said THE LAND OF THREE FAITHS.

Israel is a hypocritical super power who are now not even the chosen blood that was talked about in the bible. smmfh.

As if Jews and Christians weren't living in Jerusalem when the country was still named Palestine..
