Does it still really matter if there is another incident of old / new anti - Semitism ? At the moment, the Iran has moved to Sweden. A Swedish newspaper is accusing Israeli soldiers of having killed Palestinians in 1992, in order to steal their organs and sell them. This accusation sounds as ridiculous as "Jews would spread Aids over the entire world" or "Jews would use the blood of Christian children in order to bake Mazzot or Hamantaschen".
The Jewish community of Stockholm, however, accuses Israel of making such a fuss about the article. No one had even noticed him before the Israeli government freaked out. In fact, the new incident of anti - Semitism is making up all local Israeli headlines. The Swedish government refuses to block the newspaper and claims the freedom of press for it's country.
The behaviour of the Jewish community of Stockholm is more than typical for a Diaspora community. In order to keep the damage low, Jewish communities prefer to keep quiet. Just like the German Jewish community during Hitler. Many Diaspora Jews still haven't internalized that there is a State of Israel today and that anyone can say his opinion. Especially when there is new anti - Semitism and lies being told about Israel. The only thing they are worried about is loosing their convenient Diaspora life.
