As was evidenced by the Anti-Israel/Pro-Hamas rallies across the world during “Operation Cast Lead”, the terrorists and their supports are getting more confident, and more violent everyday.  This week in Sweden their brashness was taken to new heights as they attacked peaceful Pro-Israel supporters with rocket fireworks, and pipe bombs while the police just stood their and watched.

Islamists Fire Rockets, Hurl Bombs at Pro-Israel Crowd in Sweden

(Thank You: Israel National News)

(IsraelNN.com) Islamists reached new heights of audacity in a face-off with pro-Israel demonstrators in Malmö, Sweden on Sunday, firing rockets and throwing pipe bombs at the pro-Israel group in broad daylight and under police’s noses. No one was hurt. The incident was videotaped by Swedish blogger Ted Ekeroth, whose blog contains videos showing the attack.

Between 400 and 500 people gathered in Stortorget Square for a peaceful pro-Israeli protest.

The police sealed off the entire square and only allowed in the protesters, as well as a smaller group of Islamists, and separated the two groups from each other.

Blogger Ekeroth wrote: “It didn’t take long until they started attacking us, this time with homemade pipebombs and fireworks. The homemade bombs were pretty powerful, as I stood not too far away when one of them exploded. According to what I heard, the police managed to arrest the ones that threw the bombs. However, they did not disperse the [A]rab crowd…”

In total, Ekeroth reported, the Islamists threw two pipe bombs, fired two rockets and hurled some glass bottles. The bombs did not reach the pro-Israel protesters but the rockets exploded over their heads.

The largest newspaper in the south, Sydsvenskan, chose to “distort and bend the truth,” Ekeroth reported. The news item about the confrontation was headlined “Several arrested during Israel demonstration” and, amazingly, reported that “The expected violence did not occur.”

This is just the beginning.  As long as Western governments around the world continue to encourage and propagate Islamic victimology, while simultaneously excusing their violence, we can be assured that things are going to get worse and these now shocking events will become commonplace.  You need only notice how the majority of the anti-Israel crowd cheers the attacks on the peaceful pro-Israel group.

Lebanon in the mix

Rockets Fired From Lebanon Into Israel

JERUSALEM — Rockets fired from Lebanon landed in northern Israel on Thursday, raising concerns they could represent a broadening of the conflict, but both governments played down their significance. International efforts to end the 13-day war in the Gaza Strip continued with the arrival of Israeli negotiators in Cairo.

The discussions in Cairo got underway hours after at least three missiles from Lebanon landed near the northern Israeli town of Nahariya, slightly injuring two Israelis, and the Israeli army responded with fire. The rockets from Lebanon raised concern that they could presage a second front in the conflict that would complicate peace efforts and revive memories of the bloody war between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in 2006.

But the Israeli Army later dismissed the rockets on Thursday as “a minor event” and, in Lebanon, the government said Hezbollah had distanced itself from the attack. Prime Minister Fouad Siniora of Lebanon immediately condemned the rocket-fire. In a statement, Lebanese Information Minister Tarek Mitri said: “Hezbollah assured the Lebanese government that it remains engaged in preserving the stability in Lebanon and respects Security Council resolution 1701.”

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli rescue services have reported a “massive” cross-border rocket barrage by Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip.

The barrage Wednesday came just hours after an Israeli air strike and marked the first major exchange of fire since a truce took effect in June.

The Israeli military said at least 20 rockets were fired from the strip early Wednesday but there was no immediate word of injuries or damage.

Israel launched an airstrike on Gaza earlier Wednesday after its troops fought a fierce gunbattle with Hamas militants who fired mortars into southern Israel. The fighting killed six Palestinians and threatened to unravel the truce, that had mostly quieted violence in the volatile territory.

Hamas is keeping busy during the “truce” with Israel by manufacturing rockets as fast as they can, and escorting CNN journalists on guided tours of their “metal shops” and training camps.
